Colleagues. It was a mostly ugly week for the market, and it ended really strongly. Its kind of schizophrenic. Whats going on . Well, the market was due for a fall after having the kind of rally it did, and it finally got an excuse this week when covid hospitalizations started rising. Its not in places like new york that have been hot spots before, but in places where it really hadnt been like texas and arizona. And that kind of freaked the market out because if there has to be shutdowns around the country at different places, it means that the economy cant come back as quickly as people thought. And this became a big risk. And with positioning extended the way it was, it was just the perfect rest recipe e for a selloff. Jack any idea why we had that nice bounce on friday . It was oversold going into friday morning . I think thats a big part of it. There really wasnt any news out there to make it go one way or the other. One of the things that might have been overlooked in the selloff

Cant believe we didnt tell him it wasnt for sale. I cant believe this is even a conversation. David when this first came out, every one thought it was a joke. Hes just getting hes just kidding. And then maybe not so much of a joke. Alix do we know why he wants greenland . David because the arctic, particularly because of climate change, has become much more important. There are really Strategic Interests in greenland. In fact, president truman tried to buy it in 1948 for similar reasons. You invited meis to my house, im not coming unless you sell me something. Alix in the market, we had retail earnings coming out. We get a nice rally underway here. Eurodollar is flat. It is a mostly weaker dollar story in the g10 space. Selling in the bond market with the exception of italy. Inflation expectations continue to rollover. No one taking any big positions headed into jackson hole. The question is how you hedge this. David time now for the morning brief. At 10 00 this morning, we get u. S. E
