Yet, another version of inflation creep … still on the share pricing merry-go-round

Econs remain stubborn continuing to riddle markets that victimize “our” universe’s share pricing

 

BREAKING: Prices consumers pay for a variety of goods and services moved higher than expected in August while jobless claims accelerated. The consumer price index posted a seasonally adjusted 0.4% increase for the month, double the prior month, putting the annual inflation rate at 2.9%. Economists’ expectation was 0.3% and 2.9%. Core reading that excludes food and energy, the August gain was 0.3%, putting the 12-month figure at 3.1%, both as forecast.  Weekly unemployment compensation filings were seasonally adjusted 263,000, higher than the 235,000 estimate and up 27,000 from the prior period.

News: Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals (ARWR) versus Ionis Pharmaceuticals (IONS); ARWR filed a legal complaint declaring that IONS’ US Patent No. 9,593,333 (the ’333 patent) is invalid and not infringed by ARWR’s plozasiran, which is under FDA review.

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

Traders will be monitoring CPI, jobless claims and federal budget data due praying for expectations to be met!

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?
