Green shoots on the labor market wilted with the BLS reporting the economy lost 92,000 jobs in February.
Job growth in December was also revised to -17,000 from +48,000, lowering the 3-month average hiring to 6,000 (all of it in January).
The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.4%.

Oil and energy market types: really beginning to freak out.
Global macro types: mostly relatively calm and expecting this to all blow over.

Note: It’s not normal for US bond prices to fall (yields go up) during a period of war, uncertainty and with a rising price of oil acting to slow economic activity.

Kraken Becomes First Crypto Firm to Win Access to Fed’s Core Payments System
The decision means the industry is a step closer to becoming integrated into the mainstream financial system.
The @federalreserve.gov just granted a crypto company—Kraken—access to its public payment services for the first time.
More evidence that crypto’s success is not as an *alternative* to the existing financial system but to capture the existing payment infrastructure.

Gulf States in Race Against Time to Repel Iran’s Onslaught
There are only so many air-defense interceptors available to knock down an almost limitless number of drones.
A crucial variable in this war is whether these monarchies start running out of interceptors before the Iranian regime runs out of projectiles.
At current burn rates, it could be very soon.

It's very hard for the public to learn who is behind these accounts, but if any prosecutors did want to take up this case, it would likely be trivially easy to subpoena all the evidence they need.
