My “Weekly Indicators” post is up at Seeking Alpha.
The main movement this week was in the speculative commodity or asset area, where Bitcoin crashed and gold and silver also broke trend, taking down the broad commodity baskets with them.
But as has been true for the past number of months, it really has been the case that “the stock market is the economy,” as paper wealth gains drive real spending by the top 10% of so of consumers.
As usual, clicking over and reading will bring you up to the virtual moment as to the state of the economy, and bring me a penny or two to buy my lunch.
