More Uncovered, The Monster Belying Monster Jobs Numbers

By |2020-08-07T16:48:58-04:00August 7th, 2020|Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

I’ve always disliked the ritual of Payroll Friday because that’s what it is. The BLS doesn’t even measure the change in payrolls, for crying out loud. The government attempts to define a very wide interval into which the real labor market may have fallen. Even then it’s nothing like precision, especially at a low 90% confidence interval.And don’t get me [...]

Shoe V arning

By |2020-08-06T19:45:47-04:00August 6th, 2020|Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

It’s no wonder we’re obsessed with shoes these days. Even the V-people, as I’ll call them, keep one wary eye glued looking behind them. Survivor’s euphoria means a lot of potentially bad things, only beginning with a false sense of survivor-hood. We’ve so far made through only one big test, there are likely more to follow. And if they do, [...]

Purchasing Managers Indigestion

By |2020-08-05T19:21:37-04:00August 5th, 2020|Bonds, Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

There’s already doubt given how the two major series supposedly measuring the same thing seemingly can’t agree. If the rebound was truly robust, it would show up unambiguously everywhere. But IHS Markit’s purchasing managers indices struggled to get back above 50 in July, barely getting there, suggesting the economy might be slowing or even stalling way too close to the [...]

It’s incredible, in a way, because right from the start he’s got everything on his side. There are the media write-ups which all say the exact same thing, calling this an exact science being practiced by the wisest, most considerate stewards. The legend we’ve been raised with. Lore and scholarship (I repeat myself). Most of all, everyone. When everyone says [...]

What’s In The Same Number? China’s Part In The (euro)Dollar Story

By |2020-08-04T19:26:42-04:00August 4th, 2020|Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

There’s one part of the dollar story I’ve not yet touched on recently. We’ve already heard, too much, about how the Fed’s killing the dollar, or at least is aiming to with all its immense money printing fire power. While it’s the euro which has demanded so much from DXY that it almost seems plausible (to a few) this time, [...]

Accusing the Accused of Excusing the Mountain of Evidence

By |2020-08-03T17:53:25-04:00August 3rd, 2020|Bonds, Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

Why not let the accused also sit in the jury box? The answer seems rather obvious. While maybe the truly honest man accused of a crime he did commit would vote for his own conviction, the world seems a bit short on supply of those while long and deep offering up practitioners of pure sophistry in their stead.These others when [...]

Those Three Weeks of Hysteria

By |2020-07-31T20:01:25-04:00July 31st, 2020|Bonds, Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets, Stocks|

Is three weeks a new record? That’s about how long Jay Powell’s performance bought him across most major markets. It was May 17, a Sunday night, when he appeared on 60 Minutes and, pardon me again, lied his ass off. One right after another, starting with the most obvious falsehood that his gang at the Federal Reserve “saw it coming.” [...]
