Pop goes the weasel with a PPI decrease of -0.1%, the Fed to deliver another rate cut at its September meeting

BREAKING: Wholesale prices unexpectedly declined -0.1% in August, as Fed rate decision looms after a downwardly revised 0.7% increase in July and well off the estimate for a 0.3% rise. Services prices, a key metric for the Fed when evaluating the stance of monetary policy, posted a 0.2% drop

My hang-up, every time I see a new high, I am of the opinion to say BYE. Also, if the market falls back into its sideways, choppy range, sector “positions” could struggle and suffer

Never leave an investor uninformed … I say what others won’t, so you can do what others can’t!

The cell and gene therapy sector has seen a few too many fits and starts, so …

Inflation news over the next couple of days would have to be remarkably hotter to get a rate cut in September

Remember that overnight and pre-open actions’ futures and markets doesn’t necessarily translate into actual trading in today’s market session.

Companies in my headlights – It’s your decision; I provide ideas and context

I post about “indication intelligence” looking toward investment conferences … to assist investors with insight into sector vulnerabilities and strengths.  A dictionary definition of “indicate” refers to something less than a certainty; an indication could be a signal of being oversold or overbought, a recommendation, or grounds for inferring or a basis for believing.

  • Let ‘em ride, I see a “muddy” econ laden week – as Wednesday’s PPI release opens; yet, some green after the red after green as September advances, along with the usual ups, downs and just plain uncertainties

 

The BOTTOM LINE: Econs matter ...

  • In “this” market scenario; brace for inflation data this week with cracks in “our” universe … we are so dependent on econ “numbers” to our universe’s share pricing …

September is historically the worst month for equities …

  • Are tariffs more of an issue to the future, hope the Supreme Courts levels over-reaching state/federal courts?
  • Don’t forget about Fed governor Lisa Cook and her “mortgage fraud criminal referral to DOJ>issues of being fired or not?

I also hate to be so negative or contrarian but, this is a NO spin zone and truth is its product; I can always be WRONG but, I am mostly EARLY!”
