[wpspoiler name="Goldilocks and the Three Bears" ] The Three Bears
In a distant land, there lived a girl who was called Grey-haired because her curly hair shone brightly. She was a prankster, so restless that she could not sit quietly still, and she loved very much to run away from home without permission.
One day, she ran into the forest to collect wild flowers, and into the fields to catch butterflies.
She ran here and there, and, in the end, ran so far that she found herself in the wilderness, where she saw a cozy house in which three bears lived, but at that moment they were not at home.
The door was ajar, Greyweasel flung it open and realized that there was no one at home, so she dared shamelessly go inside and look at the whole house, thinking a little what kind of people lived here.
Three bears lived in this house, and before her arrival, they went out for a little walk. Big bear, medium sized bear and little bear cub; they put their porridges on the table to cool down. And when Greyweasel went into the kitchen, she saw three bowls of porridge. She first tasted the porridge from the biggest bowl that belonged to the big bear, but the porridge was too cold for her. She then tasted porridge from a medium-sized bowl that belonged to a medium-sized bear, but the porridge was too hot for her. At the end, she tasted the porridge from the smallest bowl that belonged to the little bear cub, she liked the porridge and ate it.
Then she went into the living room, where there were three chairs. She tried to sit on the largest chair, which belonged to the big bear, but it was too high for her. She then tried to sit on a medium-sized chair that belonged to a medium-sized bear, but it was too big for her. At the end, she tried to sit on the smallest chair that belonged to the little bear cub, she found it comfortable, but she sat on it so hard that the chair fell apart.
After everything that happened, Greyweasel was very tired, she went upstairs to the room, and saw three beds. She tried to lie down on the largest bed, which belonged to the big bear, but it was too soft for her. She then tried to lie down on a medium-sized bed owned by a medium-sized bear, but it was too hard for her. In the end, she tried to lie down on the smallest bed, which belonged to a little bear cub, she found it comfortable. So she lay down in it, and fell into a dream.
While Greyhair was sleeping, the three bears returned home from their walk.
They went into the kitchen to eat their porridge, but when the big bear came up to his bowl, he grumbled:
"SOMEONE TAKED MY PORRIDGE"
behind him, a medium-sized bear, looking into his bowl, said:
" Someone's been eating my porridge!"
following them, a little bear cub squeaked:
“Someone tried my porridge and ate it all!”
Then they went to the living room and the big bear grunted:
"SOMEONE IS IN MY CHAIR!"
behind him a medium-sized bear said:
"Someone was sitting on my chair!"
following them, a little bear cub squeaked:
“Someone was sitting on my chair and completely destroyed it!”
Soon they went up into the room and the big bear grunted:
"SOMEONE RUINED MY BED!"
behind him, a medium-sized bear said:
"Someone has stirred up my bed!"
following them, a little bear cub squeaked:
"Someone has stirred up my bed and is lying in it!"
After that, Greyweasel woke up in a fright, jumped out of the window and ran as fast as she could, and henceforth, never again appeared near the cozy house of the three bears.

Five in focus: Goldilocks and the Three Bears
(Repeat of January 30 message, text unchanged)
Jan 31 (Reuters) - Not too hot and not too cold. This is what investors hope for in terms of economic forecasts as China's economy recovers after the coronavirus pandemic, and companies are struggling with stagnant inflation and increasingly constrained consumers.
But the rhetoric of the world's three largest central banks, which are going to hold their first meetings in 2023, not reminiscent of the "Goldilocks scenario" - mild growth retardation and gradual decline in inflation.
1) WILL THE FED SLOW DOWN?
Will the Federal Reserve soften its hawkish rhetoric in the face of slowing inflation or will stay on course? Investors generally expect rate hikes by 25 basis points following meeting 1 February and the fact that rates will not exceed 5%.
The leaders of the US Federal Reserve, however, predicted the growth of the key interest rate above the range of 5.
00-5.25% this year.
Whatever signals the Fed sends, they can play an important role in determining the duration of this year's rally. Dollar bears, in turn, will track dove moods that could further accelerate the fall dollar. The US currency has fallen almost 11% since reaching a multi-year high in September last year.
2) BACK TO WORK
Chinese markets are back to work after a week Lunar New Year celebrations and will try to continue with where we left off - at a five-month peak blue-chip mainland China.
After reports from officials that deaths from coronavirus has declined by about 80% since its peak in beginning of the year, market sentiment should remain optimistic. Statements by the authorities contradict fears that New Year's travel will provoke a new wave of morbidity.
The opening of the Chinese economy could be reflected in the data business activity index, which will be published in Tuesday, services sector return to growth. Industrial the sector is probably still shrinking, but this is largely due to happy new year holidays, and next month should happen strong rebound.
3) YOUR MOVE ECB
The European Central Bank will meet on Thursday and, is expected to raise the rate by 50 basis points to 2.5%. Markets are most concerned about uncertainty about the following controller steps.
Yastrebino-minded officials insist that this will happen in March. After all, inflation is well above the target level of 2%, as is likely to will show preliminary data for January, coming out on Wednesday.
Markets have priced in further monetary tightening policies by 100 bp up to July.
But the pigeons sound more and more confident: yes, inflation is high, but it off record highs, they say. Therefore, it is necessary exercise caution before committing to rate hikes after February.
Markets, agitated by discordant opinions, will expect that the ECB will present a united front. At least it can hope.
4/ TEAM "A"
Three "A" - Apple, Amazon and Alphabet - three of the four largest by market value American companies - report profits on Thursday.
More than 100 S&P 500 companies enter into reporting season.
Microsoft, the fourth American mega-company, has already published financial results. Her cloud business met Wall Street expectations, but the giant's disappointing forecast received little encouragement from the broader tech sector.
Technology companies in general are under pressure the need for growth while reducing costs in ahead of a possible recession. The total earnings of companies from the S&P 500 index fell by 2.9% compared to the same period a year earlier, according to Refinitive IBES.
5/END MAY BE NEAR
The Bank of England is expected to be the first major central banks, which switched to a "hawkish" monetary policy in December 2021, will hold the tenth increase in this cycle rates.
Money markets predict that the British central bank will will raise rates by 0.5 percentage points to 4%. December core inflation has fallen to 10.5%, but it is still five times exceeds the official target of the regulator.
