I Europa väntas en rekyl uppåt 

USA genomförde med start sent under onsdagskvällen en ny, sex timmar lång attackvåg mot cirka 90 militära mål i Iran med explosioner i flera städer. 

Som svar har Iran avfyrat drönare och robotar mot amerikanska militära mål i Kuwait och Bahrain, och flyglarm har aktiverats i Qatar.

Den uppblossade konflikten i Mellanöstern med USA och Iran går in på sin andra dag. Samtidigt tycks börserna i Asien närmast obekymrade – och i Europa väntas en rekyl uppåt efter onsdagens nedgångar.

Jag finner detta svårt att förstå, eftersom den stora uppgången den senaste tiden har sin grund i marknadens tro att fred är antågande (FOMO). 31 mars Irans president uppges vara beredd att avsluta kriget.

Ja, det kan naturligtvis vara Dip-buyers.


Starkt avslut på Stockholmsbörsen – stängde torsdagen nära dagshögsta efter att fallande oljepriser gett stöd åt fortsatta uppgångar. Utvecklingen stärktes mot slutet av dagen då Wall Street fick fart uppåt och oljeprisernas nedgångar utökades. 

Investerare brottas med blandade signaler från Mellanöstern.


”Investerare är mycket mer fokuserade på den kommande rapportperioden än vad de är på den geopolitiska fronten”,

US, Iran Trade Airstrikes as Fears Grow of a Return to War

The US military attacked Iran for a second day, hitting about 90 targets overnight, and Tehran retaliated against American allies in the Persian Gulf.
Iran reported strikes on the perimeter of a nuclear power plant and two railway bridges, and targeted US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar in response to the US attacks.

The latest attacks have raised fears of a return to war after little progress in efforts to secure a diplomatic outcome, with talks between the US and Iran on hold while Iran conducts a week-long mass funeral for former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

President Trump’s memorandum of understanding with Iran 
The root of the dispute is Paragraph 5, which says Iran will make arrangements to restore shipping through the strategic waterway and then work with Oman to determine how to administer it in the future. But it also includes an Iranian pledge to ensure safe passage and remove military obstacles such as mines.
Trump administration officials saw that clause as unlocking the strait, the main accomplishment of the president’s deal. Iranian hard-liners, however, have used it to push a maximalist interpretation that gives the Islamic Republic exclusive control over the waterway

Iran responded to 80 American strikes with what it claimed were 85 attacks on military positions in Bahrain and Kuwait. Mr Trump threatened more attacks on water installations. The oil price jumped a bit, to $78 a barrel.  

Observers again predicted Iran could stomach more economic pain than the global economy.

Transformatorn i Ai-åldern

Surging data-centre power demands are intensifying pressure on transformer supply chains

https://ig.ft.com/transformers/

En transformator är en elektroteknisk komponent som genom elektromagnetisk induktion omvandlar elektrisk energi mellan olika ström- och spänningsnivåer.

https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformator


Data hubs already devour more electricity globally than all but 10 countries.

About 448 terawatt hours last year if you’re interested. The AI boom means that amount is on track to roughly double within four years.

This would be less of a problem if all the new electricity were green. 

They also swallow up land and water. By 2030, they could be using enough water to meet the basic needs of all 1.3bn sub-Saharan Africans for a year, UN researchers estimate.

Pfizer in 2019 sold $20 billion of drugs in the U.S. Its federal tax bill? Zero; Ireland

Trump has already singled out pharma companies and countries like Ireland that reap the benefits of tax-avoidance moves.  Despite its small size, Ireland ran an $87 billion trade surplus with the U.S. last year—larger than any country except China, Mexico and Vietnam. https://www.wsj.com/health/pharma/how-trumps-tariffs-could-upend-pharmas-overseas-tax-strategy-5b8ca758 Is Ireland vulnerable again as the world’s vast shadow banking system starts to crack? Shadow banking is the dog that has not barked during the latest global spasm of financial stress.

Martin Wolf; The next crash - Why this time might not be different

Bild
Stock markets are not only ignoring the obvious threats, but seem imbued with extreme optimism. In the autumn of 1929, Irving Fisher, one of the greatest American economists, stated: “Stock prices have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau.”  This turned out to be one of the most incorrect forecasts ever made: in short order, US and global stock markets were hit by the Great Crash, which was followed by the Great Depression. Maybe markets were in some sense “right” before the crash and wrong after it. But who cared? For investors and the hundreds of millions of people across the world whose lives were upended by the disaster, the gods of the stock market had failed for a generation. Why might this story be relevant today? The answer is that the valuation of US stocks is even higher today than in September 1929.  The first global financial crisis after the disaster of the 1930s in 2007-09: the easy monetary — and relaxed regulatory — policies adopted after the stoc...
