Inflation's not so bad..
-
U.S. consumer prices unexpectedly rose in August and underlying inflation picked up amid rising costs for rents and healthcare, giving the Federal Reserve ammunition to deliver a third 75 basis points interest rate hike next Wednesday.
The surprisingly firm inflation readings reported by the Labor Department on Tuesday followed in the wake of recent data showing labor market resilience. The reports suggested that inflation could remain elevated for some time. Fed Chair Jerome Powell reiterated last week that the central bank was "strongly committed" to fighting inflation.

We had a meeting with a number of big European customers last week, and the consensus from their management was that overall the US is likely to do a lot better than they will.
Spin that how you will, but there are worse places to be right now.
The day my brother finally wired my share of my mother's savings over a week or so ago was graced with the headline "Pound at lowest level against the USD since 1985". How I laughed.
I was only joking

Inflation is killing the market today.
Which is killing those IRA accounts invested in the market.
Mr. Biden has wiped out many years of savings today.
Maybe the market will go up again someday.

Dunno. This market is scary. Not low enough for confident buys though IMO.

Not long ago, Fed Chair J. Powell told everyone to expect “pain” in inflation fight. Then just yesterday, some JP Morgan released an analyst host says “soft landing” looks more likely than recession, and that got rather widely publicized. Boy, that JP Morgan analyst must feel so silly today.

What have you noticed? Firing Stelter was a good step.

Reassigning Acosta, also. There are circulating rumors that Acosta and Lemon may be the next two big heads to roll.
There are a lot of stories like this one floating around...
