President Donald Trump on Saturday amplified his promises to send National Guard troops and immigration agents to Chicago by posting a parody image from "Apocalypse Now" featuring a ball of flames as helicopters zoom over the nation's second-largest city. "I love the smell of deportations in the morning," Trump wrote on his social media site. "Chicago about to find out why it'

Flocking Doves Tomorrow?

Sep 4, 2025 3 min read paid

Stock prices rose again today as the 10-year bond yield fell. Investors anticipate that tomorrow's employment report for August will be weak. If so, then it is a sure bet that the FOMC's majority will turn dovish and will vote to cut the federal funds rate on September 17. Indeed, the odds are up to 99.4%, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. Stock investors must

Stock Market Oblivious To Weak Economic Data

Sep 3, 2025 3 min read

The S&P 500 rose today despite a batch of weak economic indicators over the past two days. Investors perceive that bad news is good news if it increases the chances of a Fed rate cut on September 17. Indeed, the odds of that happening are now 97.6%, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. That's a sure thing. We've been at 40% and are

Gold Is Shining More Brightly Than Ever Before

Sep 2, 2025 2 min read paid

We turned bullish on gold last year when the spot price of the shiny metal decisively rose above $2,000 per ounce (chart). We attributed this new bull market in gold to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. In response, the United States and its allies froze the international reserves of Russia's central bank. That convinced the central banks of countries with autocratic governments, which

This week is chock-a-block with data reports, all building up to Friday's pivotal employment report. The August jobs release will offer a reality check of sorts following July's surprisingly soft reading and significant downward revisions to results for May and June. It could determine whether the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) proceeds with a rate cut at its September 16-17 policy meeting. The July jobs data

The following is an excerpt from our Morning Briefing dated August 22, 2025. The Fed I: Markets Hear Powell Cooing. We expected Fed Chair Jerome Powell to sound neither dovish nor hawkish when he spoke at the Fed’s Jackson Hole Symposium on Friday.
