We are gonna be telling our grandkids about the whacky ass post Covid economy where you could buy a new vehicle that went up in value the following 3 years.

Mark both of these predictions down as things I find VERY unlikely.

Inflation is starting to slow down consumption and hurting consumer confidence. Poor Biden.



Last week US CPI inflation for June rose at a stunning 0.9% MoM, or 11% annualized, placing it among the highest sequential inflation readings in the past 40 years. Sure, much of the reading can be chalked up to used car prices and airline tickets, which are unlikely to continue to rise at this pace and may actually fall back. Still, food inflation rose 0.8% MoM, energy inflation rose 1.5% MoM, and rents increased 0.5% MoM. When food, energy and rent prices rise like this it inevitably starts to crimp consumer confidence and consumption related activity. That may be what we are seeing now.

Big miss on the GDP 6.5 vs 8.4 expected

Big miss on the GDP 6.5 vs 8.4 expected

Yep.

U.S. GDP rose 6.5% last quarter, well below expectations

While the GDP gain would have been strong prior to the pandemic, it was considerably less than the 8.4% Dow Jones estimate.

www.cnbc.com

• GDP rose at a 6.5% annualized pace in the second quarter, according to the Commerce Department’s first estimate Thursday.
• That was well below the Dow Jones estimate of 8.4%.
• Initial claims for unemployment insurance also missed expectations, with the 400,000 total above the 380,000 expectation.

Yes.

I’m beginning to think they will do anything to put off the correction and would rather see a half a percent of growth than do what needs done.

Anything to protect Puddin.

I don’t know how it could be less than 5% all the way through next year.

Agree with this. The Fed is in a pickle.

Yep should be fun to see how it plays out

Yep should be fun to see how it plays out

I hate to be Debbie downer but if I were gonna guess I would say inflation tapers slowly over the next 3 years (maybe 4) and GDP looks like shit.

Things won’t overheat that way and at the same time won’t go straight off the cliff.

Barry’s growth will look Clintonesque by the time we are said and done IYAM.

This is Doomsday porn on Bloomberg. Roubini says Fed will pick high rates of inflation so we don’t have a debt crisis.
1970’s here we are….

 

[America 1st]

This is making me so happy.

Dims not being able to just spend their way out of every problem is an excellent change of pace.

Joe Manchin is the most powerful member of Congress given the tight margins and now he is bitching about the Fed's endless money printing. Inflation is leading to political pressure on Jerome Powell and his term is almost over.

Joe Manchin is the most powerful member of Congress given the tight margins and now he is bitching about the Fed's endless money printing. Inflation is leading to political pressure on Jerome Powell and his term is almost over.

Manchin and Sinema are about to be challenged by their own party the next time they are up.

Tells you everything you everything we need to know about the pressure those folks are under.

They had their chance after the steal and dropped the ball.
