The global economy is being set right up for a brutal summer, according to the latest incoming data. Manufacturing is up right now, but the faster it goes today the worse it is going to be in the coming months. Services, the majority of the economy, are starting to get crushed – Europe, for example, it just set a 62-month low. This is the same general setup as last year which fed right into job losses, contracting incomes, rising unemployment...and more Pringles.

European consumer sentiment is in "free fall", in the European govt's own words. DHL’s CEO warned the world is heading for a quote tipping point – in other words, the race against time. Economic sentiment just crashed. Unemployment in places like Scandinavia has jumped while in the UK job losses have returned alongside the appearance of one of the worse labor market outcomes, the dropout.

Countries REALLY don't want to go to DC and ask for a dollar swap line. One nation just did (according to WSJ) and it is one of the most critical redistribution centers in the eurodollar system. While the usual suspects go on about "dedollarization" and petroyuans, over here in the real world the consequences from lack of oil flow include a shortfall of dollars as much as oil.

Interest rates in China’s bond market are aggressively declining, more at the short-term maturities. It’s a classic bond bull case, which means it isn’t bullish. The question is where this is coming from. Inside the country or outside? As if that wasn’t the only big signal, the Chinese government just did something that will have you shaking your head where it comes to consumer spending and retail sales data.

Banks are taking more steps to distance themselves from the growing private credit bust. They’re revaluing private credit assets that have been pledged to them as security for financing banks have provided to these shadow banks. I told you when JPM did it a month ago there would be others. Insurance companies are now really getting dragged into this mess, too, a double dose of Stage 2.
