US Retail sales were absolutely fabulous in April 2022; glory, hallelujah! So then why are different consumer surveys reporting miserable conditions? Because there has been NO REAL growth, only nominal.

The first disappointment from payrolls in what seems like forever is only the start. It follows a number of increasingly ugly developments including a solid shocker from the US services sector - and its own measure of employment. In addition to reviewing the latest updates, Jeff and Steve also take apart the "dovish" QT myth that has popped up.

“Desperate Struggles” in the Job Market

What would the price of oil be without Saudi Arabia's actions? What would Treasury yields be without the Fed? There is a way for us to determine what the underlying fundamental monetary and financial conditions really are which offers a rough approximation for both. Crude would be a lot less and market interest rates, let's just say there's no inflation whatsoever in these fundamentals.  Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis https://www.eurodollar.university

Critical Data is Predicting 1-2% Interest Rates Are Coming, SOON

We need to confront the fact there remains a serious problem in the US with Marxism. To successfully counter the threat REQUIRES first we understand why that is and what keeps it going. It's not enough to "clap back" with platitudes correctly pointing to Communism's barbaric history. Nor is the modern world's prosperity a sufficient counterargument. The true Socialist admits that's what capitalism was supposed to have accomplished. The entire matter revolves around whether that last statement truly is in the past tense.  Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis the Atlantic Why the Phrase 'Late Capitalism' Is Suddenly Everywhere

Communism is Infiltrating The World BECAUSE of Economics

Hiring has near completely dried up in the US labor market, contrary to all mainstream talk of a booming economy. JOLTS hires was the lowest since March and April 2020, and apart from those the worst in six and a half years. That substantial weakness was further corroborated by some of the biggest companies in the world reporting sharply lower results on increasing consumer difficulties. Yet, everyone will be focused entirely on the Fed and its absurd "inflation" fixation.  Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis FOMC Chair Powell Press Conference Playback May 1, 2024

Jobs Are No longer Hiring

Evidence for demand destruction in the US economy is really piling up. Consumer sentiment tumbled, services businesses in parts of the country are shedding workers in a way and to a degree we only see during recession, and major Midwest manufacturing plunged. All that was just today. The common theme through each one is a change in employment conditions and not the good one.  Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis the Conference Board Consumer Confidence
