Any talk of a covid outbreak in Vietnam?

Thanks Errol
I cant see interest rates going up any time soon.

Fed will be back in buying hard overnight. Oil will be triple digits this time next yr. Covid head fake.

Not a hope for rate hikes. That would be poison for asset values and the stock market. But where to now? There really aren’t any choices left.

10-year U.S. treasury yields are plunging, below 1.20 percent today, a 5-month low. Bond markets are now telling a very different story about inflation.

Many asset classes are now at-risk of incoming rapid deflation, not stagflation (IMO) as recently advertised by Wall Street. Nobody wants to pay the piper or even admit that debt is a problem for markets.

What’s ahead is the fallout of manipulated economics.

Rapid deflation = feeding frenzy by the rich. No?

Markets back up hard today.

If this was 2006 I would be in agreement with errol, but the fed is in there hard. They use the FX markets to blunt the inflation signals and push them under ground and into energy. But its still there and likely heading to double digits. Food is next.

A prominent economist has predicted the fed balance sheet will inflate to 40T over the next 20 yrs with probably a similar number for the US debt. I believe him.

Money sloshing through the system generated by the Fed continues to mire investors in-blinded-complacency. But the Fed now attempting to lower their astronomically bloated balance sheet.

Recovery to Dow record-highs after a brief selloff early week has a very weak foundation (IMO). Bond market action and transport sector turning down, (a warning).

An opinion, see further recovery in the U.S. dollar (safehaven), gold at-risk of further declines. Sense crude oil drop possible and further loonie weakness straight ahead.

Realize this sounds like a fool after the Dow hit historic highs on Friday, but . . . stock markets now at elevated risk of a sharp sell-off before fall market (IMO). ProMarket Wire, Calgary

Selloff in Asian tech sector with overnight losses ranging 3.5 to 7.5 percent.

This will likely impact global commodity markets. Hang Seng index technically unstable in my view.

How do you explain natural gas rise?

[errolanderson]

How do you explain natural gas rise?

Crusher, good point . . .

Apparently the natural gas gains driven by LNG exports to Asia. This is an energy market that has been undervalued for years. For what its worth, next technical upward range may be $4 to $4.50 per gigajoule, but Crusher you are right, this looks like a breakout.

Fundamentals don’t work when small idiot children playing with other peoples money believing that budgets can balance themselves and cars will run on unicorn piss and EV’s will charge outta thin air
Nothing works when this shit is going on

What could possibly go wrong?
