New Business:

1:Kyiv launched its surprise incursion into Russia’s Kursk region August 2024, taking Moscow by surprise and quickly advancing some 30 kilometers (19 miles) from the border. But the campaign slowed and, on Thursday, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that Russia had launched “counteroffensive actions.” The Russian Ministry of Defense said Russian forces had “penetrated” into the Kursk region, capturing 10 settlements.

2:In August 2024, Israel human rights organization B'Tselem released a report on systematic Israeli abuse, torture, sexual violence and rape of Palestinian detainees, calling the Israeli prison system a ''network of torture camps.'' The report includes extensive testimonies from Palestinians.

3:Climate changes rages the World thru June 2024 with 14.5% of the world's surface having a record-high June temperature, exceeding the previous June record set in 2023 by 7.4%. A sunken village in Greece has re-emerged as heatwaves and a lack of rainfall have led to the artificial lake surrounding it to recede.
A huge wildfire has destroyed 20% of a forest in the Brazilian capital, Brasilia. Officials think the fire in the National Forest of Brasilia, a 5,600-hectare conservation area, was started by arsonists.
So far in July 2024, the USA has the second-highest number of tornado reports (1,264) of any year in the past 15 years. We’ve also seen very high numbers of hailstorms (4,108 — the fifth most active year) and damaging windstorms (8,978 — the second most).

Inflation has level off at high levels above the Fed target of 2%. War has not cause a usage uptick as China is in an industry slowdown. Hurricanes did not cause closures as I predicted, so far. The War did not cause OPEC to stick together and ramp up prices. But stay tuned as these ''abnormal scenarios'' reach reality.

==========================================================

Mid year pricing and wages are still up, but worker shortages are not being meet with immigration creating a slow down in skills needed. AI has proven it was a false flag on corporate balance sheets. Presidential and local elections are looking to move the USA back to democratic ideals but moderate at best.

New Business:

1:Russian president Vladimir Putin said that his forces would intensify
strikes on military targets in Ukraine, after an unprecedented Ukrainian
attack over the weekend on the Russian city of Belgorod.

2:Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy told the Economist
that the notion that Russia was winning the nearly two-year-old war was only a “feeling” and Ukraine’s priorities in 2024 included hitting Russia’s strengths in Crimea

3:On 7 October Hamas launched thousands of rockets into Israel,
and gunmen broke through security barriers in the worst breach
of the country’s defences in five decades – 1,200 Israelis were killed
and more than 200 were taken hostage.

4:The response from Israel was swift and brutal, with the government
promising a “mighty vengeance” against Hamas, vowing to destroy the militant group altogether. In the months since the attack, the Israeli military
has unleashed one of the heaviest conventional bombing campaigns in history, according to one expert. More than 20,400 people have been killed, including nearly 8,000 children.[courtesy of https://www.theguardian.com/]

Inflation will tick up and level off at high level.
The El Nino weather pattern has caused farming havoc around the world. As California wine crops become become bountiful and near perfection, the water storms are a relief for the agriculture industry, Europe continues to go thru flooding events with prices will cause inflation to rise. Commodities like meat and grain will also participate in the rally as 'Cause n Effect' issues of climate change wreak havoc on the globe. War and a China usage uptick will cause winter blend pricing of oil and minerals to face an increase in pricing as Middle East strife and OPEC disputes disrupt the flow and supply in late spring.

The New Year brings increased corporate pricing and minimum wages, as demand for workers remain high and the balance sheets of workers comes down to Pre-pandemic levels. As usage of AI driven initiatives fail to deliver, corporations will slim down and close these unprofitable operations.


REITs and commercial entities continue to pressure bank earnings and real estate pricing with a reduction in inventory and affordability.
