Vaccines and Senate Subsidies, Ls and Ks

By |2020-12-02T19:15:41-05:00December 2nd, 2020|Commodities, Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

In a sense, it’s being priced like a game of chicken. On the one side, there’s been vaccine-aphoria now combined with this week’s subsidy-mania driving narratives more than markets. Really not all that much higher in prices, certainly not anywhere in the neighborhood of the red-hot temperature of the rhetoric being used to describe these two particular developments. Oil’s up [...]

Your K Is Little More Than The Identifying Details Of This 2nd L

By |2020-12-02T17:52:46-05:00December 2nd, 2020|Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

ADP reports today that, for the fifth consecutive month, the labor market recovery everyone had hoped for has instead been transformed into something else entirely. According to the firm, private payrolls expanded by just 307,000 in November 2020 from October. That’s the slowest pace since July, and, most important of all, leaves the private US economy near 10 million short [...]

There Have Actually Been Some Jobs Saved, Only In Place of Recovery

By |2020-12-01T19:45:56-05:00December 1st, 2020|Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

The ISM reported a small decline in its manufacturing PMI today. The index had moved up to 59.3 for the month of October 2020 in what had been its highest since September 2018. For November, the setback was nearly two points, bringing the headline down to an estimate of 57.5.At that level, it really wasn’t any different from where it [...]

Saving Jobs Won’t Save Us From Jaws

Mario Draghi’s sunset retirement festivities weren’t supposed to have gone off this way. Celebrated for his July 2012 “promise” to save the euro, he instead spent the entirety of his eight years as President of the ECB chasing inflation and recovery, the very things meant to accomplish the euro’s saving, without success. By the end, his final act in September [...]

It was Mervyn King who late last year roiled the delicate sensibilities of the mainstream sense of economic things when he told the truth. Despite all statements proclaiming otherwise, the global economy hadn’t actually recovered at any point before then. King was pointing out only what the data unequivocally showed. Given 2020, it obviously isn’t doing it now, either.What was [...]

The Established Slowdown of Today vs. At Least Tomorrow’s Vaccine Is Not The Same ‘Stimulus’

The oil market has caught a mild case of the raging disease. Not COVID, rather the purported cure for it. Vaccine-phoria has visited the energy sector and propelled oil prices upward while pulling less contango in the futures curve, awakening this commodity market from its post-August doldrums. It had been that detour in WTI which began to suggest this summer [...]
