Now I'm convinced you don't know how this works. Equity markets react to a number of things, not the least is rising interest rates. Interest rates rise due to capital demand in healthy and expanding economies. All is well.

Trump did brag about the stock market before, but yesterday shows that is a double edged sword. I agree pretty much with this assessment, but you can't tell me worries over a trade war are not worrying some. Also from the Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/11/business/stock-market-global.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage Quote But concerns have started to weigh. With signs of rising inflation, the Federal Reserve is expected to ratchet up interest rates further, which could raise the cost of borrowing in the United States and around the world. The market damage was particularly acute in China, where signs of economic softness and worries about the impact of President Trump’s trade war have pushed down stocks for months. Over the weekend, the People’s Bank of China unleashed $175 billion into the economy to help shore it up. Worried about the impact of negative information on its citizens, China has censored negative economic news. The tensions with Washington appear to be only getting worse. On Wednesday, United States officials said they had charged a Chinese intelligence official with espionage after he was extradited from Belgium. Washington officials also said on Wednesday they would more aggressively scrutinize corporate deals by foreign investors in the United States, in a move aimed primarily at China. 47 minutes ago, sherpa said: Now I'm convinced you don't know how this works.

Buffalo_Gal Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Latest forecast: 4.2 percent — October 10, 2018The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the third quarter of 2018 is 4.2 percent on October 10, up from 4.1 percent on October 5. After this morning’s wholesale trade report from the U.S. Census Bureau and this morning's Producer Price Index release from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the nowcast of the contribution of inventory investment to third-quarter real GDP growth increased from 2.09 percentage points to 2.20 percentage points.
Tiberius Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Peak Quote President Donald Trump kept up his steady drumbeat of criticism over the Federal Reserve, pinning the steep stock-market sell-off on their interest-rate policy. Asked about the stock market rout in an interview on “Fox and Friends” on Thursday morning, Trump replied: “The Fed is getting a little too cute. That’s all. It’s ridiculous what they’re doing.” On Wednesday, after the stock market closed, Trump told reporters that “the Fed is making a mistake.” Why does he sound so worried? lol https://www.marketwatch.com/story/trump-calls-fed-too-cute-in-third-straight-day-of-criticism-2018-10-11
plenzmd1 Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 The economy is too damn strong right now. At both games last weekend, concession lines were nuts and I was told by a few of the folks that Delaware North just cannot hire enough people to man the stands right now. Now Trump is screwing up my games and beer consumption!!! 25 this clown 3
Buffalo_Gal Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Apparently, the sky is not falling... yet. Why is there always a qualifier? Enjoy it while you can! Metal Tariffs Haven’t Cost Jobs (Yet) Funny thing, though. Employment in metal-using industries has risen since the tariffs went into effect last spring. Employment in fabricated metals products rose 1.44 percent from April through September, according to the jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics released on Oct. 5. That compares favorably with the increase for overall manufacturing (0.70 percent) and the overall private sector (0.76 percent). In the machinery sector, another big consumer of metal, jobs increased by 1.29 percent over the period.
