The Weekender: As Bond Markets Recalibrate, TINA Still Stands Tall
Image Source: Pixabay MARKETS Despite a U.S. equity market wobble, TINA still stands tall.Wall Street wobbled last week, with indices stumbling amid anticipation of a likely hawkish tilt from the Federal Reserve at this week’s meeting.

Eggs
Image Source: PexelsBloomberg points out eggs were big in the PPI, accounting for 80% of the y/y rise (egg prices spiking due to avian flu). I wondered what eggs accounted for in the food at home component of the CPI.Didn’t have the CPI subcomponent for eggs handy, so I took the BLS not-seasonally-adjusted price of a dozen large […]
Subsidies And Waste
Image Source: PexelsIt is possible to spend $100,000 on a luxury car. Most people don’t do so, and not just because they cannot “afford” one. Even among Americans with over $100,000 in wealth, only a tiny fraction would choose to spend $100,000 on a luxury car. You can also spend $35,000 on a luxury car, something […]
Walgreens Invites A Rube Goldberg Buyout Plan

Hotter Than Expected Inflation Is Causing Rates To Soar
Image source: Pixabay The market was essentially flat today, but that’s a distorted picture. Currently, this is the Bloomberg 500, which serves as a proxy for the S&P 500. When we break it down, Broadcom rose 24% today, adding almost nine points to the index. Without Broadcom’s big move, the equity market wouldn’t have performed nearly […]
Got Copper Or Miners? Watch Out.
Copper, silver, and gold quite often move together, especially during the big moves.And this is currently very helpful.Given gold’s recent decline and a much bigger decline in silver and mining stocks, one might wonder whether miners’ and silver’s weakness are telling the truth about the precious metals market’s outlook, or if it’s gold that’s been […]
