Lehman Weekend 2.0?
We should expect volatility to amp up Monday and is already heading for its biggest two-month surge in a year, according to a gauge of cross-asset expectations for price swings in Treasuries, U.S. stocks and global currencies. Treasuries are leading the way.
But this potentially is another Lehman moment, as the U.S. and its European allies stepped up their response to the escalating conflict as Vladimir Putin ordered Russia’s military advance to proceed, announcing plans to sanction the central bank in Moscow and cut off various Russian lenders from the critical SWIFT financial messaging system. That comes on top of earlier moves against the country’s biggest banks and restrictions on the nation’s bonds. Russia’s currency has fallen to a record low amid the current crisis.
As a result, it is likely that all thoughts of QT and inflation control will be swamped by the potential need for liquidity and Central Banks will do what they keep doing.

Is The Bottom In?
In this weeks market update, which is overshadowed by the action in Ukraine, we consider whether the markets are looking past Russia’s intervention.
The spike in volatility through the week triggered wild swings in global shares, commodity prices and safe haven assets, including government bonds and gold, as investors recalibrated their positioning.
Well certainly U.S. stocks jumped for a second day on Friday with the Dow up more than 2% in afternoon trading and Oil prices fell back below $100 a barrel, easing some concerns about higher energy costs.

Should We Buy The Dip?
The simplistic cries of “its all over” for markets is just not aligned with what has happened, with a bounce in the US markets, following Biden’s comments. Many bought the dip – but does that make sense – and is Bitcoin a risk shelter? But, do not panic, in times like this, cash is NOT trash!

Welcome To The Underclass!
From The Conversation: https://theconversation.com/australia-is-creating-an-underclass-of-exploited-farm-workers-unable-to-speak-up-177063
There are currently about 95,000 asylum seekers in Australia, about 30,000 of whom have had asylum refused at both the initial and by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal stage and are not legally able to work.
Many work on farms, including those not legally able to.
They can never complain about their treatment and have to accept whatever work they can get under whatever conditions as those who have been refused asylum have no legal right to work.
