Furkan Yildirim wrote that Bank of America has been examining the correlation between the yield of ten-year US Treasury bonds and stocks since 1962. At yields below 2 percent, the value was plus 0.5, and between 4 and 5 percent, it was plus 0.2. Between 5 and 6 percent, there was no correlation; at yields of 6 to 7 percent, the correlation was minus 0.3, from 7 to 8 percent minus 0.2, and above 8 percent minus 0.3. According to Yildirim, Bank of America explained the change by stating that low interest rates are usually associated with a strong economy, while high interest rates increasingly lead to inflation and expensive loans, making government bonds compete with stocks. The bank summarizes the thresholds, according to Yildirim, as follows: starting from 5 percent, investors become indifferent to stocks and bonds; above 6 percent, higher interest rates harm stocks, and above 7 percent, valuations decline significantly. The ten-year yield reached 5.36 percent in the previous week, the highest level since 2002, and had risen by around 0.7 percentage points since July. After inflation data on Wednesday, it jumped to 5.33 percent; at the time of his contribution, it was around 5.1 percent. Yildirim wrote that the market is already behaving as if yields were above 6 percent: according to Goldman Sachs, the correlation with the S&P 500 was minus 0.56, down from minus 0.64 in June – the lowest value since the start of the data series in 2011. Moreover, according to Yildirim, the ten-year bond is now yielding more than the S&P 500 generates in profits per dollar invested; this was last the case in the early 2000s. As an indication of the importance of inflation, he mentioned that high interest rates during times of high inflation have almost always been a burden for stocks. US inflation was at 3.7 percent in September, up from 3.4 percent in August; gasoline had cost 34 percent more than a year earlier. After the data, the probability of another Fed rate hike in October increased from about 20 to 47 percent. #Börse #Aktienmarkt #Zinsen (translated)

Daniel Schatz referred to Fredrik Malm's text, where Malm claimed that Sweden and the Western world focused disproportionately on Palestine and neglected the vulnerability of other groups. He mentioned Kurds, Iranians, and Christians in the Middle East. Malm wrote that Kurds in Turkey had been forbidden to speak their language and identify as Kurds for 70 years, and that Kurds in Iraq had been subjected to war since the 1960s and genocide in the 1980s. According to Malm, Human Rights Watch had reported that 182,000 people had been killed. He also claimed that Yasser Arafat had supported the genocide and compared the war history of the Kurds with Palestinian factions, which he claimed had started ten wars in 60 years. Regarding Iran, Malm wrote that the opposition to the Islamic regime had protested for freedom, while the regime had tried to kill Iranians abroad. He accused the Swedish Palestine movement of supporting the mullahs and described how Iranians had, according to him, been silenced, tortured, and killed for more than 40 years. Malm stated that Christians constituted 20 percent of the population of the Middle East at the beginning of the 20th century, and at most 2.5 percent today. He also referred to ISIS persecution of Christian Assyrians and Syriacs in Mosul in 2014. Malm claimed that Islamism and war had driven Christians to flee and criticized Palestinian activists for celebrating the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamist terror. https://t.co/WUoOR5opO7 #Kurdistan #Mellanöstern #HumanRights (translated)

The author wrote that in the 1980s and 1990s, there was an intense struggle not to classify criticism of Israel's politics as anti-Semitic in general. At that time, according to his depiction, the accusation of anti-Semitism had been used broadly and sometimes indiscriminately. The author's opinion is that Hesse's CDU Prime Minister Boris Rhein wants to reverse this development. #Antisemitismus #Politik #Hessen #IL #DE (translated)
