Inflation

Jump to new
go we get a definition for 'real GDP growth ' ( despite many similar metrics saying national productivity is shrinking , not even just growing more slowly )

given the ever changing definitions ( including 'recession' ) how the heck can you factor in dividend rises or contractions in a predictive manner ( let alone in 'inflation-adjusted terms ' )

just asking because various Central Banks have terrible recent record) , at predicting inflation ( even when the refine the calculations to attempt to align with the narrative )

and since inflation is affected by Quantitative tightening and easing ( delivered, as opposed to promised )

this whole exercise must be a pleasant distraction to their main focus of bringing in the new climate change agenda (and Central Bank Digital Currencies )

personally i have a hard enough time trying to predict their next description on inflation/recession ( never in my lifetime , to temporary , to transitory , to peaking , as recent examples )

some ( but not me ) were predicting a downturn in September , ready for the traditional ' smart money' to re-enter the markets

no targets for me , but not expecting a major rally either ( will div. payments be thrown at the market , this time ?? )
 
NDQ closing in on 13000 support. BTC & ETH approaching their near-term supports too. Euro markets dumping thanks to risk of German recession with Gazprom shutting off supply on Aug 31

Jackson hole jitters too. Probably a lot of preemptive selling.

Is it a dip to buy. Hmm.

US markets are too hard to predict. They could turn around tonight and continue the rally all because Kanye West decided to come out in support of Russia (fake news btw)
Having said that, meme stocks are getting slaughtered (BBBY, GME & AMC). Fed has come out multiple times and said they intend to continue tightening, Bullard claiming they'll aim for above 4%. Fed research indicating markets haven't priced in a recession yet.

Too much negative news to ignore atm
 
Yeah 50 is the base case for the next meet, it's the runoff that has me worried. The last one caused a slaughter. I suspect everyone else are thinking the same way.
 
NRGU up 2% premarket, NDX futures 1.5% into the red. BOIL up 12% premarket, SOXL down 6%.

Excellent night ahead

There's also this little event to consider:
