Inflation numbers slightly better than expected. 

“The personal consumption expenditures price index, a measure the Fed focuses on to measure the cost of goods and services in the U.S. economy, rose 0.1% for the month, putting the 12-month inflation rate at 2.2%, down from 2.5% in July.”

When will the 10year start to drop?  Seems like lower inflation and the drop in fed funds rate would have triggered more action to the downside.  It actually rallied since last week.

When the market is convinced that things are working.  The 25’s and 30’s are up since the announcement.  Market isn’t convinced inflation is fully tamed, or that economic conditions are sufficient, or some combination.    

Are we concerned about tension in the Middle East now? I’ll believe it when I see it. Iran doesn’t actually want war with Israel and the US

And in what ways would a war affect the American economy?  Seems war would drive up oil prices and help Texas, western ND, etc.  Gonna sell more F Tree Fiddy's.  All is good?

It'd be nice if my "Politically Agnostic Portfolio" I built didn't keep getting wrecked by the long end of the treasuries curve.  Good Lord.

I learned my lesson on trying to pick stocks based on political outcomes.  Hint: it never goes the way I expect.

Not even trying to pick stocks based on political outcomes...Built a politically agnostic portfolio that really should only give a shit about economic conditions......

L/S equity

Managed Futures

Long Long dated treasuries that should go up as yields come down (that's the big rub.....)

Put Write Strategy on S&P

A small hint of Bitcoin

kidding! … One day a portfolio based on the actual economy, rather than the fed and global politics, will be ideal. Not sure when. Maybe never. Cheers

Do you really think that politics don’t heavily influence economic conditions ?

Oh I know they do, but the economics will overtake the angst at some point.   I’d just rather be right sooner.  Because I know I’m right in the intent

I think economics influences politics more than politics influences economics.

LOL. Can never ever actually mention the price of stocks or commodities in this subforum, lest you be accused of jinxing it.

Also, did you read the fucking thread title?

we need a more catchy name to drive traffic.....how about Sixth Street Journal

And the thread title is misleading.  S&P 500 up 119% since the OP started it.  Seems he was wrong.  Wrong and destined to be poooor.

Thread title is a continuation of a thread started on Shaggy circa 2007-2008 GFC IIRC.  Had markets run a natural course, it likely would have been appropriate.  Instead, the Fed decided that inflating assets was the only path forward and here we are.

it has to.  VIX is getting absolutely demolished, which means it's risk-on for capital flows back into equities

Trump’s victory in Tuesday’s presidential election is likely to fuel concerns that U.S. farmers, already grappling with a sharp income drop due to slumping crop prices, may suffer further if the new president ramps up tariffs on China. Trump has vowed to impose a 60% tariff on Chinese goods and at least a 10% levy on all other imports. That’s stirred fears any trade war with China could be worse than the 2018-19 dispute that cost U.S. grain producers billions.

In a recent study, the National Corn Growers Association and American Soybean Association, forecast a new China trade war could prompt deeper U.S. crop export losses, push down already depressed domestic prices and cement a shift of China's imports to Brazil and Argentina.
