After an initial flurry of #buying when the #stockmarket opened, the #goldilocks #employmentreport isn’t doing much for #stocks. At #noon the #nasdaq and #s&p500 are down a bit and the #DJIA is barely green. The #USeconomy is clearly slowing, but pockets of #inflation remain. #wti is at $85, #brent at $88. Plus, #studentloanrepayment begins next month and impact of #fed #interestrate hikes are still funneling through the #economy. Stay tuned…lots of moving parts. #wallstreet

Unemployment rate unexpectedly rose to 3.8% in August.
Is this the end of inflation and the end of interest rate hike?

The biggest driver of inflation right now is rising mortgage rates.

Economic activity is down as #inflation drives down sales volumes, the BoE's #interestrate policy is explicitly aimed at 'damping down' the economy & real wages continue to stagnate/fall....
So you wont be surprised to know that a #recession now looks likely for the Autumn.
Cue: #JeremyHunt & #RishSunak telling us that 'if its not hurting its not working'... & the 'price is worth paying' to defeat inflation.
But, as always its not them or their mates hurting or paying the (acceptable?) price
#Inflation #interestrate #recession #jeremyhunt #rishsunak
Recession
Threat looms near,
Price rises waver,
Financial stress
Perilousness

Meanwhile in #Italy:
A #windfall tax of 40% is being imposed on #banks #interestrate spread (the net profit on returns by virtue of the difference between rates to lenders & borrowers)....
Having looked at the extra level of profits made in the first half of this year, the one-off tax will be used to cut taxes & help #mortgage holders.
Despite loud demands in the UK for something similar, the #Tories are unlikely to turn against their chum in #financialservices, at least not yet!

#Dovish comments by #fedchairpowell in yesterday’s post #interestrate hike presser, a #strong #Q2 #gdp report, and solid #earnings from #meta among others, have #futures roaring. Still, at better than 20X earnings the #stockmarket seems pricey. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a small #correction in #August.

Recent #interestrate hikes have helped to cool rampant #inflation, but it's also slowed down the pace of record #farmland sales over the past 6-9 months.

The #PCE Index, the #Fed ‘s preferred #inflation gauge came in a bit lighter than expected; however, the core prices year-on-year deflator shows inflation remains sticky. IMO nothing here will change the Fed’s #interestrate outlook. #Futures have popped a little. #economy #economics #FinancialMarkets #stocks #bonds

The Fed paused when raising the rate
Evaluating the economy of late
The key interest rate
Will now stay at its weight
As the central bank holds steady at five percent
