It could be that you are 80% ignorant. I don't follow a single point you make. It certainly has no bearing on trading.

Fed's Powell: We are very worried about scarring in labor market

Good progress in what way? In terms of achieving their mandate? Look through what you read and understand how the market is already positioned. Then things will start making more sense. Powell wants prolonged inflation above 2% and is downplaying ...

Fed's Powell: We are very worried about scarring in labor market

Grow up.

Federal Reserve issues FOMC statement

Yes, but what on earth are you replacing the scarring with?!! You're risking it all you bell end.

Fed's Powell: We are very worried about scarring in labor market

Don't have to watch this to know the answer. If the Fed let the cat out of the bag and even hinted that they thought about a time to start discussing tapering.... the market would immediately flatten all the FOMC's efforts to date. Therefore they ...

FOMC preview: Is the Fed thinking about tapering?

Some say Fed sounding desperate.... again. "Please don't expect prolonged meaningful inflation. Let us print in peace. Let the next watch be the ones to see it all collapse....please.....please....... PLEEEEEASE!!!"

The Fed Says "Money Doesn't Affect Inflation" Others Say "It's the Money...

It would take total loss of confidence in the greenback and even a fear of hyperinflation and default before people go out of their way to avoid it: which is when you'll see infation==devaluation. Until then it's the vanilla rule of thumb: ...

US Consumer Confidence Up Sharply Again in April

At face value it sounds like you've got that backwards. A concern of high inflation would mean increased expectations of fed rate rise sooner making USD more valuable on that factor alone. Why did you think it was the opposite?

US Consumer Confidence Up Sharply Again in April

He's definitely a prat. How about raising stamp duties on house purchases borris? Maybe add both a buyers and sellers stamp duty? Elephant in the room: UK won't tax home buyers/sellers even though asset price inflation is what's driving the social ...

UK PM Johnson instructs ministers to seek out potential budget savings

Fair comment. Find it odd that this user wants to pick on the disabled. He probably wasn't aware of the meaning behind his choice of words though.

UK ILO Unemployment: Is the Pound in Trouble?

I'm trying to remember the logic of Sunak, when it came to forever extending tax holidays on UK home purchases and the UK government underwriting mortgages, whilst also making noise on the urgent need to tax hikes elsewhere?? Stinks of crap to me. ...

UK house prices surge as high demand meets record shortage of homes for sale

Disagree. Price discovery is a stochastic process of mutually minimised pain. Your share of this pain is your value society. Abstract, but the most purist form of capitalism since the dawn of civilisation. Stand tall and don't dis traders.

If Stronger than Expected Inflation, Consumption, and Jobs Didn't Lift the Greenback, What...

Not always. If safe haven bonds are cheap (increasing yields) money will flood there first at the cost of gold. This is what makes gold such a choppy inflation trade. Certainly not an easy one. I think the buy everything trade is the right one for ...

Will Rates Rally Further, Pushing Gold Down?

Can someone educate me on who these all powerful market makers are? "Market maker" is a super wide term as I understand it. Are you talking about FX sell side? FX book makers? Designated market makers on exchanges? Liquidity providing prop firms ...

US retail sales explode in March as consumers use stimulus checks to spend heavily

This is the baseline assumption of the market. The trading opportunities come from this not panning out. Don't forecast as there is no need. Simply observe how the market is positioned and what framework of assumptions are baked into it. Then trade ...

Consumer Price Index - March 2021

There was a big up tick in PPI last week and Fed officials were making non stop noise about seeing a large but transitory up tick in inflation this year. The market was braced (and positioned) for a shock reading in the CPI today. The shock didn't ...

Rolex and Ferrari Are Among the Top 3 Most Trusted Brands in the World, a New Survey Says

I doubt the US BLS is conspiring against my positions. That would be cool though. Thanks for your post. Did make me chuckle. CPI has always been a misleading figure and a poor gauge of overall inflation. I wasn't stating anything groundbreaking. USD ...
