BREAKING -- Fed/Geo Watch

News is flying: The Economist also tells us that The Ukrainian President, Zelensky (via Ukrainian intelligence) reports a package of deals worth $12 trillion in exchange of U.S. sanctions.

The most important detail absent is that it is not an official announcement by the US, or that it is a signed offer at all, but rather an alleged claim, related to what are called back-room negotiation.

But why should traders mind:

Such a narrative can trigger risk rapidly: energy, defense, USD, and Europe-related sensitive names can spinal- cord-jerk in response to all the ensuing headlines.

It is such a large figure that it brings about resistance, controversy, and amendments, that is, greater instability, not less.

When you are trading in it: Size small. Keep stops clean.
Never marry the title - buy the response.
