Weekly Indicators for January 19 - 23 at Seeking Alpha

 

 - by New Deal democrat


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


The trends from last year are continuing so far this year. On the plus side, initial jobless claims are very low while stock prices continue near all time highs, and consumer spending is on a tear. On the minus side, the US$ started sliding again, and commodities, and in particular precious metals, are soaring - a bet against the US and its economy on a global scale.

As usual, clicking over and reading will bring you up to the virtual moment as to all these trends, and bring me a penny or two for collecting, collating, and presenting the data in organized fashion.
