Read an article that data is now more valuable than oil. I blame Elon Musk.

Google is more than tech + data collection. From a revenue standpoint, they're an advertising company.
Crude back to early Feb price. Gasoline has a way go; anther .40c or so.
Interesting ploy . . .
"The US Bureau of Labor Statistics was forced to publicly discredit a fake inflation data report that circulated on Tuesday, just one day before the scheduled release.
The document, which sought to mirror the formatting of the monthly consumer price index report, claimed that annual inflation in June reached 10.2 per cent, much higher than economists’ forecasts of an 8.8 per cent jump compared to the same time last year."
8:30 am on Wed., the actual report is released . . . . It shouldn't matter, the Fed is likely going to raise 75 bps, but I guess the big debate is over what it does in 2023 and I'm not persuaded markets can predict/price that.
Yeah, tomorrow’s opener will be interesting with the news just before. I’m almost regretting using the last of my current free cash on GOOGL, I wouldn’t mind having cash to sell a put on something tomorrow morning.
Does anyone think that current market behavior is at all influenced by perceived future market results based on a Trump run for POTUS?
Well, the market does predict/price that, but how accurate they’ll be is another question:

Inflation over the next 12 months expected to be 3.81%. The five years after that averaging 2.35%. So clearly the market is expecting inflation to be under control going forward.
9.1%
It's OK. I'm sure my employer will give me a compensatory raise... any day now...
For the markets, I assume the institutions weren't expecting a drastic improvement and we still have 12mo core dropping 0.1% and the fuel/food included was only 0.3% higher than predicted while the Fed said they don't want to kill the markets with interest as they control inflation...
... so slight panic followed by rally is what my magic 8 balls says.
Real interest rates are -7.6% and the Fed is sitting around wondering why it's accelerating. Absolutely unbelievable.
10y note flat and still below 3%. Another lower high.
10y note big reversal lower. 2.89% now. 2/10 at -20
1% reversal in the USD. That’s big if it continues.
HYG is well off it’s low made a month ago.
Core problem:
GOLDMAN: “Shelter categories surprisingly accelerated further .. The 36-year-high rent reading poses upside risk to the path of the funds rate in the second half of the year, as shelter is one of the largest and most persistent inflation categories.”
BTW none of the Models can factor in the WAR that is incoming.
The only thing that can go lower than the market is the Old Man's approval rating.
Fed is trapped and Government is run by dumb losers that could never hold a real job.
Dead Cats bounce too but this pain train is just getting started.
Inflation will still be higher as will the Dollar next year.
Note that the CPI data doesn’t (yet) capture the recent moves in rents that private tracking does:

Also note that todays report doesn’t capture the decline in energy costs over the past month, and energy made up about a third of todays number. Next month energy will be bringing the headline number down.
Market currently pricing in two 0.75 increases from the Fed.
was planning to buy the dip after the cpi data, but turns out everyone else did the same. bought some stuff online instead lol, im doing my part.
6 week low on the 30y treasury yield
15y high in the Canada 1yr bond. 3.36%

1% would be interesting.
I keep breaking my rule not to buy individual stocks this year...picked up some TELL @$3 after reading a NYT article.
Would be nice if S&P would hit some new lows.
30yr 3.07
1yr 3.21
If the fed keeps raising the rates, the federal budget deficit will balloon.

I’m not a bond guy, but with rates going up, the debt already out there is getting crushed on paper.

Not great, but not catastrophic.
Also, any reason to expect rates to stay elevated for a long time? Summer’s ‘secular stagnation’ problem hasn’t disappeared, right?
Deja vu? . . . higher than expected CPI on a Wednesday morning results in glum start to the day, but by mid-day, there's a wave of optimism that the pundits explain as if it's explainable, and then that's followed up with a wicked hangover on the Thursday.
Personally, I'm a fucking deer in headlights. I can regret that later. Or not.
Yes this exact pattern is what I banked on. Now I expect volatility with at small rally to sell into before the interest announcement. If that happens I'll sell some. If it doesn't, it will be fine long term.
I am such an amateur at this, but my idea is if I'm making a short term bet, only commit to things I also think are a good bet medium/long term so if I'm wrong in the short term, everything works out. I only occasionally violate that rule. This isn't the day-trading warrior way, but it is safer for an amateur like me.Quote:

So if you are deployed for mid/long term, you'll be fine if you take no action to immediate news.
