Divided government won't surprise wall street anymore
But we're back in political nightmare territory. If I were smart enough to buy a hedge due in the summer that would pay off if there is a government shutdown, I might do that.
Who said what at 8:00 AM Eastern time that caused pre opening market to go from down a tad to way up?
I would be way up on my bets against the market for the past 6-7 months were it not for 4 or so times the market went crazy up in minutes in response to something someone said.

a jobs report came out at 8:30 - low unemployment, falling wage inflation, solid job growth...good news has been bad for stocks lately but now that inflation is falling fast good news might start helping stocks as fears of recession fade a bit.

Market up a percent in the pre-open.
Biden's war in Ukraine has been profitable. If he can continue to prolong it, we will be sitting pretty. So long as we continue to be the supplier of oil, gas, food and weapons to Europe without getting our own hands dirty, we will be sitting pretty. No wonder he doesn't want the war to end.

The market went straight line up at 8:00 AM
no it didn't. your feed must have had a 20 minute delay on it. the market was flat until the 8:30 report. If you use yahoo finance preopen it has a 20 minute delay unless you look at an ETF like SPY, which you can see priced in real time.

As the Treasury issues debt to cover wasteful expenditures. There appears to be very little realization of where things really are. Good, gradually, then suddenly foolish thinking becomes a thing of the past.

puts some numbers on the nirvana case:
What could be better than another month of robust job growth and a 53-year low in unemployment—plus waning inflation pressure? The 223,000 gain in nonfarm jobs in December, though the lowest in two years, was double the sustainable pace of an economy at full employment. Yet average hourly earnings rose just 0.3% from a month earlier, the lowest since February. Non-managerial pay edged up just 0.2%, the lowest since January 2021. Revisions to prior data show wage growth slowing rather than accelerating. Annual earnings growth has fallen to 4.6% in December from 5.2% in August. In the last three months, it was just 4.1% annualized, and 4.2% for non-managerial employees. Though still above the 3.5% to 4% level compatible with the Federal Reserve’s 2% inflation target, that’s headed in the right direction. —Greg Ip
schmegoly the 10 year is down to 3.57 again. rally caps, gents!
Loving short term bonds here - short rates are being held up by the federal reserve while the longer bonds trade with the market and are falling. I'll collect my 5% from ST bonds and then get my big capital gain when the fed starts cutting. In the meantime....they are low risk short term bonds so I'm not risking much.
