Money flows into Gold ETFs have continued and increased through its decline with September showing the biggest net inflows since 2022. One can argue that they represent confidence or too persistent optimism, though. Chart courtesy of @johnauthers.

AUTHERS, on Brent: “.. first-month futures are back to $106 per barrel, while the price for six months hence has reached a record as investors abandon the notion that this conflict will be over soon.” @johnauthers bloomberg.com/opinion/newsle…

As we enter earnings season, the question is what will satisfy the mkt when expectations are so high? Earnings have been the sustenance keeping this bull mkt alive. Great expectations create a fertile ground for disappointment. Charts courtesy of @johnauthers

Economists may see moderating inflation relatively soon but the consumer does not. The NY Fed Survey of Consumer Expectations shows that they expect inflation at the 3.9% level out one year. That won't help the Republican cause at the midterms. Chart courtesy of @johnauthers.

Could US bond yields light the touch paper for an even more violent upheaval in France? While it’s not inevitable that France will experience anything like Mexico’s Tequila Crisis, the risks are elevated, says @johnauthers bloomberg.com/opinion/newsle… via @opinion

Longer term, it is hard to ignore Schiller's excess CAPE yield which compares cyclically adjusted earnings yield w/ the 10 Yr Treasury Yield. "It currently implies the S&P 500 Index will only beat bonds by 1% annually over the next decade." @johnauthers
