Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin It must be said that all the banking pros predicted that QT wouldn’t last and that QE would start soon enough and that was why stocks were not going to crash any further in the winter of 2022. I thought this unlikely because the central banks would zig and zag but nonetheless get a fair way along the tightening path and pause it at some point for good after more stock market pain. QE = Bull QT = Bear Now these bankers did not predict their own demise as the reason for this end of QT (quantitative tightening) but here we are. How ironic. Here is a chart of the Federal Reserve Balance Sheet: About half of the tightening that has crimped the stock market has been reversed by a QE move. That is probably bad news for inflation and probably good for the market. What does this mean going forwards? It means tightening is over for quite a while and inflation is unlikely to come crashing down anytime soon. … [Read more...] about Whoops QE: Good News And Bad News

More voters appear to be dissatisfied than content with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s response to an Ohio train derailment that exposed a small town to toxic chemicals in early February, according to a Harvard CAPS/Harris poll released Friday. A Norfolk Southern train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, on Feb. 3 and a controlled burn conducted on Feb. 6 to alleviate pressure within the cars released harmful chemicals including vinyl chloride into the environment. Buttigieg caught flack for failing to respond to the derailment until ten days later, and for not visiting the derailment site until three weeks after the initial crash. (RELATED: ‘Superman’s Not Coming’: Ohioans Brace For Tough Road Ahead After Toxic Train Derailment) Thirty-one percent of polled voters said that Buttigieg’s response to the derailment was “poor,” while 30% said that it was “fair,” according to the results.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin An image circulated around social media after England’s 2-0 win over Ukraine that depicted Bukayo Saka skipping away from Mykhailo Mudryk, pained expression, sat on the ground. Arsenal fans took delight in the sight of their winger prompting such a moment of reflection from a player who could have joined them in January. Mudryk was Arsenal’s top target for months before Chelsea swooped in. Now at Stamford Bridge instead, the 22-year-old has struggled to find his feet for his new club, going six Premier PINC League matches without finding the back of the net. Substituted after 60 minutes against England, Mudryk looked low on confidence. Potter has settled on a front three of Joao Felix, Kai Havertz and one other with Christian Pulisic possibly ahead of Mudryk in the pecking order as things currently stand. This raises the question - what is Chelsea’s plan for the Ukrainian winger? How will Mudryk fit into Potter’s … [Read more...] about What Is Chelsea’s Plan For Mykhailo Mudryk And Is He Doing Enough To Impress?
