⚡️ Duma to Prepare Draft Allowing Deferment of Russian Deputies Wishing to Fight in Donbass

The State Duma of the Russian Federation will prepare a bill depriving deputies of a deferment from partial mobilization if they want to participate in the special operation in Ukraine, Vitaly Milonov, a State Duma deputy and a member of the United Russia party, told Sputnik.

"The federal law says that deputies are not subject to mobilization. And all our volunteers do everything voluntarily, despite the fact that they are required to attend meetings. And if a decision is made, it would be necessary that all our volunteers do not look like violators of the regulations," Milonov explained.

Currently, the law gives a deferment for the deputies of the State Duma, and those who are ready to mobilize are faced with the fact that they cannot formalize their absence from the Duma, Milonov told Sputnik.

"We are now bringing this issue up so that my colleagues - United Russia deputies - and I can mobilize," Milonov said.

💰 A $46 trillion wipeout in stocks and bonds won't stop until central banks around the world launch a coordinated pivot, Bank of America says

It's been a tough year for investors, with global stock and bond markets erasing $46.1 trillion in market value since November 2021, according to Bank of America. And investors shouldn't expect the pain to stop until the Federal Reserve, in coordination with other central banks, pivots away from its currently hawkish monetary policy and towards a more dovish stance.

And while the Bank of England and Bank of Japan have recently pivoted to a more dovish stance amid turmoil in their local currency and fixed income markets, that hasn't been enough, as evidenced by the continued downtrend in stock prices.

The massive drawdown has led to forced liquidations on Wall Street, the bank's chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett said, highlighting the recent break below 2018 support in the NYSE Composite Index.
