Not necessarily, as we are about to get a new input/piece of important news with the US Unemployment Claims. FIAT currencies are always relative.

UK Bank Rate reduced to 4.00% - August 2025

The close vote, at 5 down, 4 no change, implies that the longer outlook may remain restrictive (higher interest rate than may have been predicted by the whales). Therefore the whales/market-makers, whatever analogous term you prefer for the largest ...

0-5-4 is a close call. It'll make the conference mildly interesting . . .

By squeezing Putin's proverbials between some REAL metaphorical bricks, for starters. Putin has no incentrive to stop and Trump just allows Putin to carry on as he pleases basically, just now.

The US Employment Situation -- July 2025

If he really wanted to lower inflation and get the FED rate down, rather than applying inflationary policies and headbutting the wall of the FED, he should work on something largely in his power to solve and with probable better results: bring the ...

I think it's POSSIBLE we'll witness a much tougher issue for the FED to deal with: rising inflation yet other recessive economic data points. Which will get preferential treatment from the FED?

"Trouble-at-mill". Potential stagflation trap . . . .

Well, Primary School Kids don't know better. But, maybe I'm presuming it's not Tourette's Syndrome.

I propose that Powell audits Trump's rebuild of the $200m Ballroom at WH.

Even the inconvenience of a fact that would be apparent to most, specifically that the voting by the FOM COMMITTEE was 9 For, 2 Against, not 6-5, doesn't deter the myopic bullying nature. The more he rants and sulks about it, the more bond ...

You need to read my posts again, very carefully. Please, if entering a debate where you make yourself supreme in your own mind and no argument will divert you from your conviction, then at least recognise when someone is NOT shouting at you or just ...

Only 50:50 says the alledged greatest dealer of all time? Save some time if he asks for Powell to lend him a coin to flip, at a notional low interest rate, of course.
