EURODOLLAR UNIVERSITY'S SPRING SALE STILL GOING FOR A LITTLE WHILE LONGER, DETAILS AT THE LINK BELOW
https://www.eurodollar.university/sales-page-spring China's currency trading was wild yesterday, CNY moving just a few pips above the PBOC's daily limit. But then, the country closed down for the rest of this week leaving the whole world hanging as to what might happen next. Will yuan breach the daily band for the first time ever? Might the central bank relent like it usually does? More important than those, what does all this mean? The simplest "equation" in all economics holds the answer.  Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis Japan Times Ex-finance official who warned of Japan's 2022 yen intervention sounds alarm

On top of dumping Treasuries (which I covered in detail in a previous video https://youtu.be/j00_S1iug9c), China's also dumping its excess production on the rest of the world. The tactic has become so pervasive governments worldwide are responding with more than idle threats. But what are they really worried about given this means cheaper stuff and lower prices?  Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis Remarks by Secretary of the Treasury Janet L.

China's Latest Move Has Governments Freaking Out

The retail giant's latest earnings report confirmed...well, pretty much everything. Inflation risks, consumer capacities, the direction of interest rates and more. Target's results help setting the debate on prices while also dovetailing right in with a whole bunch of the latest figures on especially gasoline and even rents.  Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis Target Corp First Quarter Earnings

Target Just Confirmed EVERYTHING

There is a widespread feeling that something doesn't 'feel' right about the economic situation. While the official world vehemently denies it, they have every incentive not to admit the truth. There are various ways and methods to quantify living standards, especially material standards. Using officials' own methodology, we find the 'feeling' is very well grounded in material fact(s).

Apple Issues Stark Warning to the Economy

Business at Walmart is brisk these days...and that's a big problem. The better things go for the company especially at the grocery department the worse you know it is in the economy. And the big retailer just put up robust results because it isn't just struggling Americans coming in to shop, Walmart is now getting tons of business from high-income earners, too, because now they're struggling. Not exactly the soft landing signal we'd hoped.   Eurodollar University's conversation w/Steve Van Metre NY Post Wealthier customers flock to Walmart to boost retailer’s sales in strong Q1 earnings
