Don't think the Fed are going to have any choice but to hold in the absence of labour market numbers.

US Consumer Price Index - September 2025

Other than the obvious oxymoron, that's very disrespectful towards the US Supreme Court judges. As if they would be persuaded in any way by an advertising campaign, rather than, oh umm, the LAW. Might have shot himself in the foot with that one.

Trump: All trade negotiations with Canada are hereby terminated

Just keep a close eye on the South China Sea while you're sipping the Kool Aid. China is already 10 moves ahead in this game.

Bessent: U.S. has lots of levers that it can pull on China trade; we don't want to decouple...

You're a giggle a minute kinda guy. Neither I or Van have said any such thing but you do seem to like taking cheap shots in an attempt to undermine the long standing credibility of anyone who posts a balanced perspective. Market is its own ...

Trump: We should be at 1% or 2% interest rate

So that's why you're here posting? You're a childish idiot? Not a trader (ergo everything else you said holds no water)? FF is meaningless so that's why you're wasting your precious time and knowledge posting here?

Trump: We should be at 1% or 2% interest rate

No it's not. A jump in the $ value of core durable goods is not an indication of a growing economy. Far more likely it's a measure of tariff impacts - companies buying less but at much higher prices due to tariffs. A 20%+ jump in one month indicates ...

US Gross Domestic Product, 1st Quarter 2025 (Third Estimate), GDP by Industry, and Corporate...

ROFL a 12 minute ceasefire, followed by full resumption of hostilities is more like it. The fairy tales and porky pies never end. "On the assumption that everything works as it should" ....... dream on.

Trump says Iran and Israel agree to a 12-hour ceasefire

Unfortunately market has been conditioned (by the Fed) to believe that no matter what happens, the Fed will bail them out. Snake eating its own tail if ever there was. Everything will be peachy, until suddenly, it isn't.

Bowman: Unintended Policy Shifts and Unexpected Consequences

Oh look, flying pigs. Designed to deflect attention from the Fed's comments on inflation.

Trump: Iran wants to come to the White House. I may do that

Trump team proposes Trump wipes his own ass for a change. Woohoo. *Yawn* This one belongs in the same category as Trump proposes he will end the Ukraine war on Day 1. Still waiting, no end in sight. Just more frothing at the mouth, no ...

Trump team proposes Iran talks this week on nuclear deal, ceasefire - Axios

So here's the game play. Just before the CPI data comes out tomorrow, there will be an announcement from DJT of a breakthrough with the negotiations. Look at me! Look at me! I'm so wonderful, so great, everything is peachy, I'm winning, they're ...

US ComSec Lutnick: Talks With China Are Going Well, Expect Talks To Continue All Day On Tuesday

We are doing well with China = talks are going nowhere fast but we're all enjoying the tea and biscuits provided by our hosts. I am getting good reports from London = because my guys there are too afraid to tell me anything else and if they did tell ...

Trump: We are doing well with China

It was always going to end in tears. Two big egos sharing the limelight was never going to work, made crystal clear when the Dems started calling Musk co-president. Donald would have seen red over that. The decree nisi is already in effect. Musk ...

Trump: Great job numbers, stock market up big! Billions pouring in from tariffs!

Dear Donald, thanks so much for your kind invitation to submit an EOI by Wednesday however we don't believe it is within our remit to decide how much you want to tax US producers or US consumers. That is the choice of the US Congress. We're happy to ...

US pushes countries for best tariff offers by Wednesday: RTRS

The next 3.5 years are not feasible. Who is going to invest in infrastructure when all of these shenanigans can be undone in the stroke of pen? While there are merits in looking to become more self sufficient (for any country), a company's bottom ...

Trump: It is my great honor to raise the tariffs on steel and aluminum from 25% to 50%

"Whac-a-Mole flavor to this whole story" ..... too funny It is so like that “It’s not over,” said Gary Clyde Hufbauer, a nonresident senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. “You give a kind of Whac-a-Mole flavor to ...

Tariffs, and Trump’s entire economic agenda, were just thrown into chaos

From the article posted by OutThere "There's also the question of whether the administration will seek alternative legal paths to implementing tariffs, Shah noted. Does the administration have alternative legal pathways to impose tariffs aside from ...

Court says Trump doesn't have the authority to set tariffs

Fun and games at the Ok Corral. Can hardly wait for the over the top retort. Not entirely sure it will be overturned. The ruling was pretty clear but what it will do is create further uncertainty and a ...

Court says Trump doesn't have the authority to set tariffs

Yup. America 1st to be suckered into paying 20-50% more for everything you buy. Real clever, doh. Tariff = consumption tax. US consumers paying off the national debt, the bail out of the big banks, and QE, and it will only get worse. But who ...

Fed Chair Powell praises integrity and public service amid unrelenting Trump attacks

Inclined to think the MAGA cheer squad posting in here under anonymous handles trying to influence market opinion are just taking a leaf out of the CCP's "50 centers" who were paid 50c for every pro CCP post they made in any social media forum. FF ...

Trump: Agreed to extend European Union 50% tariff deadline to July 9
