S&P 500 earnings are now expected to surge 34% in 2026, more than double the 15% growth expected at the start of the year.
We’ve never seen earnings growth this strong outside of post-recession rebounds.
This time, there was no recession. Just an unprecedented AI-driven boom.

The 30-Year US Treasury Yield has moved up to 5.31%, its highest level since June 2007.
The Federal Reserve and Federal Government continue to spin the lie of low inflation while the bond market reveals the truth.

Ray Dalio: “If you don’t own gold, you know neither history, nor economics.”
He says that gold becomes attractive when other currencies are unreliable.
This is what we are seeing now.
If private investors increase their average gold allocation from 3% to 4.5% in response to eroding trust in fiat, gold price can spike to $8,000, according to JPMorgan.
Insane..
JPMORGAN SEES GOLD SURGING TOWARD $8,000
Gold could keep rallying as private investors increase allocations from 3% to 4.6% of portfolios, JPMorgan’s Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou says, potentially pushing prices to $8,000–$8,500 an ounce. Gold recently hit $5,600 amid safe-haven demand, central bank buying, and a shift from long-term bonds. While momentum may spark short-term profit-taking, gold shows stronger liquidity and breadth than silver or bitcoin.

USDA cuts U.S. corn ending stocks (exports went up 125 mbu), but soybean stocks were unchanged as were soy exports. U.S. wheat stocks also unchanged.

USDA will make $12 billion available in one time bridge payments intended in part to aid farmers until historic investments from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, including reference prices which are set to increase between 10-21% for major covered commodities such as soybeans, corn, and wheat and will reach eligible farmers on October 1, 2026.

It's THAT time again. The latest print of my proprietary Casey's Pizza Inflation Index (CPI) is here. Since 2021, I have been publishing independent research on the theft of coveted gas station pizza purchasing power that is the result of inflation debasing your dollars.
2020: $2.50 (cost of one slice)
2021: $2.69
2022: $2.99
2023: $3.29
2024: $3.29
2025: $3.39
YoY change: +3.0%
Since index inception: +35.6%, (+6.3% annualized)
After a year of stability, inflation returns to Casey's pizza.

The S&P 500 ended the week at another all-time high, its 34th of the year. Despite easy financial conditions and rising inflation, the Fed will cut interest rates again this week, bringing the Fed Funds Rate down to 3.75-4.00%.

🇺🇸🇧🇷Brazilian soybean area definitively topped U.S. soybean area for the first time in 2019/20.
But just six years later in 2025/26, Brazil is projected to harvest 50% more soybean acres than the USA.

Stock returns aren’t linear.
After bear market lows, the S&P often posts vertical advances — 30%, 50%, even 70% in a single year.
Miss that surge, and you won’t capture the long-term 10% average.
That’s why bottom-timing is such a dangerous game.

A demand led rally is already starting in the grain markets. A supply issue would be incredulous…
⚠️A powerful cold front could possibly bring a big problem to the Midwest next Fri/Sat.
Latest GFS hinting at a widespread month+ early frost.
If this forecast continues to suggest upper 30s it would be record cold and a big problem for the US grains. #AGwx #corn #soybeans
