Stubborn inflation in Germany and Spain looks set to keep ECB policymakers on high alert. 

German price growth slowed less than expected to 6.4% in August from a year earlier.

Investors believe the price data is likely to tip the balance on the ECB’s governing council in Favour of raising interest rates for a tenth consecutive time at its meeting on September 14, despite growing signs that the bloc is heading for an economic downturn.

The historically high year-on-year inflation rate was mainly driven by the extreme price rises for energy products and food since war started in Ukraine”, said Dr. Ruth Brand, the new President of the Federal Statistical.

Inflation Rate in Euro Area averaged 2.21 percent from 1991 until 2023, reaching an all time high of 10.60 percent in October of 2022.

Route..

 

After the inclusion of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Iran, Argentina, and Ethiopia in BRICS, the organization will gain access to an extensive network of strategic logistics resources. 

The group's vast logistics network will include the Northern Sea Route, the North-South and West-East transport corridors, entries to the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, and the Suez Canal.

"The main task would be establishing resilience and alternative solutions to the vulnerability of such chokeholds. So, countries like Russia and China... 

One of the most important considerations will be to develop high-speed train transportation corridors in the area where the ancient Silk Road used to be. 

So to make sure that there is an alternative to the freight transport, which cannot necessarily replace the sea transport, but which also alleviates an alternative in case there is a conflict and the Strait of Malacca, for instance, were blocked, or the Suez Canal were to be actually a stranglehold, then the link between China and Russia via Central Asia would be quite important." Just a thought.

Win/Lose..

 

Once again, we are seeing. Americans being airlifted to safety amidst chaos and defeat, abandoning many of those who helped us. 

There will be much political posturing about who is to blame. 

The question no one is discussing is why for decades successive administrations of both parties continue to involve us in wars that not only we don’t win, but that for years we keep on fighting even when we know we can’t win and our objectives in those wars are confusing and malleable. 

If you look back over the history of our war in Afghanistan, it was clear as early as 2002 that we didn’t fully understand what we were doing there anymore or how to go about doing it.

 Yet we remained for nearly 20 more bloody years. 

Do we know what are we fighting for? Just a thought.
