Just when you think there's going to be a trade deal... #trade #deal #markets #notthistime #China
Better than expected job gains at 128k. Plus big upward revision of 95k jobs over the last 2 months. Labor force participation up to 63.3. Solid report. More to come. #jobs #employment #bls #unemployment
After watching today's FOMC press conference, I am left wondering if the Fed will ever hike rates again... #fed #interestrates #fomc #monetarypolicy #economics

Is the consumer starting to wobble? Retail sales down 0.3% over the month - the weakest reading in 7 months. However, over the year, sales are up a solid 4.1%. #consumer #spending #retail #economy
This. More of this please. The Fed needs a new communication strategy for the modern times.
Fed Chair Powell has delivered a speech in which he quotes from a plaque emphasizing the central bank's independence from politics: "The management of the central bank must be absolutely free from the dangers of control by politics and by private interests, singly or combined."

China's import data broadly maps to the credit impulse numbers here. One reason for the current global slump is that China: a) hasn't done its "typical" stimulus and b) the limited stimulus it has done hasn't trickled out to its trading partners.
*The last three stagnant/recessionary periods (2009, 2013, 2015) were boosted when the marginal growth engine of the world this post-08 cycle, China, stimulated via credit + liquidity (light green line). But this time - they’re not over-stimulating (atleast Yet). Downside ahead
