Weekly Indicators for January 6 - 10 at Seeking Alpha

 

 - by New Deal democrat


My “Weekly Indicators” post is up at Seeking Alpha.

The big changes this week were the sharp increases in long term interest rates, along with similarly sharp increases in commodity prices and the US$. Some of this is due to a feeling that the economy is running “hotter” than recently thought, and frankly a lot is almost certainly due to the belief that the policies of the incoming T—-p Administration are likely to create lots of international friction and inflationary money-printing.

As usual, clicking over and reading will bring you up to the virtual moment as to the state of the economy, and reward me a little bit for categorizing and organizing it all for you.
