The TIC (US capital flow) data is lagged and there isn't any number for August yet. The last strong print for Treasuries was in May; June and July were weak.
But it sure looks like the world wants to finance San Francisco much than it wants to finance DC right now

We got trolled over this but were right all along.
KSA: E-W Pipeline flows at 5.8 MBPD per ABS, which is good news, but what is even more interesting is the comment below.
"Within five or six days of the East-West Pipeline being targeted, we began using it," Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, according to Saudi state television.
This is pretty remarkable work by the engineers and crews. It also makes the headlines of the "cargo cancellations" to Europe harder to explain. Note that Aramco made no public statements about this.
West coast loading (including 10/6) is stabilizing around ~3.7 MBPD on a 10dma basis. Note loadings on a particular day do not equal flows on the same day.

It's fascinating how people had NO TROUBLE believing the numbers when they were A LOT LOWER. Now all of sudden, everything is a lie when even publicly-accessible satellite imagery show FAR MORE tanker loadings and STS transfers that result in GREATER EXPORTS.

I would call that number absolut BS.
You have been bought by the Trump Regime.
People thought I was nuts…..
Well I might still be 🥜 but I was more right about this than I could’ve ever imagined 🤣

It's kind of amazing how much Mexico and the US are working together under Trump and how much Mexico is benefiting. Snow-Mexico might want to take some notes because really the asks aren't crazy

The model updated today.
I changed the look back window from three months to 12 to smooth out the data.
Even then we are still tightening.

Even with the revisions today 3m average is ~50k? Still well above breakeven. Is that your read?

There’s been a lot of panic on social media lately about the security of the Baltic states.
Take a breath.
If there is reason to fear an attack, rest assured: we will make that clear.
Until then, keep calm, carry on and support Ukraine.
