Credit got looser in Q4 2017


 - by New Deal democrat

There are times the economy is boring.  Ok, ok, especially boring. To the point where I don't have much to say.

This isn't one of those times.  I have stuff worked out in my brain or in the early drafting stages to last over a week. Like an important point of data in last week's jobs report I meant to post earlier this week, but haven't written because thank you stock market!

Anyway, I knew the Senior Loan Officer Survey was coming out, which I track because it is a long leading indicator, but I hadn't read anything.

Turns out there was a good reason for the silence.  It was the opposite of DOOOOMMM!!!

So here is my take, up at XE.com.
