In the Gulf we have Brazilian AF BRS51 Embraer 390 arrived at Dhabi from a Tashkent, Uzbekistan ground stop of about 4h and HUNTR52 RC-135 Rivet Joint heading back to Doha, Qatar after Gulf patrol (sometimes this one goes into Iraq near the Syrian border but not always but it is fairly common sight to see over the Persian Gulf)

Back over in southern Poland
Italian AF IAM9002 A319 (red dot in cap#3) is still on the ground at Krakow so it dropped off PM Meloni and they doing the 'train narrative' for that-so a similar thing habbened with Aussie PM Albanese but his AC went all the way back to Paris (3 hours each way) during that so at least this one isn't as far-still think separating access to evacuation while you "visit Kyiv" in not a good idea security wise which is why I doubt these trips go off as they present them-but they have to have enough time elapse for the train portion of all this to be somewhat believable.

NAR: Existing-Home Sales Decreased to 4.00 million SAAR in January; Median Prices Down 13.2% from Peak in June 2022
The median existing-home price3 for all housing types in January was $359,000, an increase of 1.3% from January 2022 ($354,300), as prices climbed in three out of four U.S. regions while falling in the West. This marks 131 consecutive months of year-over-year increases, the longest-running streak on record.
Median prices are distorted by the mix (repeat sales indexes like Case-Shiller and FHFA are probably better for measuring prices). The YoY change in the median price peaked at 25.2% in May 2021 and has now slowed to 1.3%. Note that the median price usually starts falling seasonally in July, so the 2.0% decline in January in the median price was partially seasonal, however the 13.2% decline in the median price over the last seven months has been much larger than the usual seasonal decline. It is likely the median price will be down year-over-year soon - and the Case-Shiller index will follow.

And why they (Bond Markets does it not the FED-they onlt set Prime) need to lower rates at the FED soon..30 year creeping back to 7%-was 6.54 last week
Plus you've got the BoJ selling UST's to keep it's JGBs capped so this is a recipe for higher rates continuing..until they pivot-they were never serious about this in the first place and why they are only doing 25bp now in the future but not for very much longer'''

Mormon Church, Investment Manager Pay $5 Million to Settle SEC Probe
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its investment arm, Ensign Peak Advisers Inc., agreed to pay a total of $5 million to settle US Securities and Exchange Commission allegations that it failed to file proper disclosures and obscured the church’s investment portfolio.
“We allege that the LDS Church’s investment manager, with the Church’s knowledge, went to great lengths to avoid disclosing the Church’s investments, depriving the commission and the investing public of accurate market information,” Gurbir Grewal, the SEC’s enforcement director, said in a statement.
The entity, commonly known as the Mormon church, and the investment arm didn’t admit to or deny the SEC’s allegations. An attorney listed for both Ensign Peak and the church didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
