One True Measure Of Stagnation: Not In The Labor Force
This is a stark depiction of underlying stagnation: paid work is not being created as population expands. Heroic efforts are being made to cloak the stagnation of the U.S. economy. One of these is to shift the unemployed work force from the negative-sounding jobless category to the benign-sounding Not in the Labor Force (NILF) category. But re-labeling stagnation does not […]
US Services Economy “Bounce” Dies As New Orders Crash Most Since Lehman
On the heels of China’s, Japan’s, Brazil’s, and Europe’s Services PMI weakness (and US Manufacturing PMI and ISM weakness), Markit’s US Services PMI printed 55.1 (missing expectations of 55.6) and dropping to its lowest since June. This catch-down to Manufacturing weakness suggests the mid-year bounce is well and truly dead as even Markit admits, “it […]

Failure To Launch
The popular belief that the U.S. economy has been steadily recovering has endured months of disappointing data without losing much of its appeal. A deep bench of excuses, ranging from the weather to the Chinese economy, has been called on to justify why the economy hasn’t built up any noticeable steam, and why the Fed […]
Binary Options Trading Opportunities For October 6, 2015
During the session on Tuesday, there aren’t many economic announcements to move the market, and we believe that as a result it will be very technically driven during the session. With this, we take a look directly at the charts. USD/JPY ready to make a move? The USD/JPY might be one of the exceptions in […]
