$EA Some very weak jobs numbers this morning. Only 29k jobs created and last reading was revised downward to a negative number. 84k was expected. Unemployment ticks up to 4.2% from 4.1%. Avg hourly earnings increases 3% when 3.1% was expected. There should never have been a rate hike last month. Core inflation is coming in tamer than expected, crude oil dropped below $90 per barrel today, and the job market is weaker than previously reported. Keep in mind that the FED jumbo cut 50 basis points to juice the economy in SEP2024 for Democrats. With the EXACT SAME core inflation of 2.4% as then but this time with a several month declining trend from 2.9%, they raised rates on Trump. It is 100% political. It isn't just that there is no correlation with macroeconomic data. The FED moves with a negative correlation with the macroeconomic data. Time to end the FED IMO. It is a political arm of the Democrat party and it is intentionally harming American workers.

$EA I used to play old EA games on PlayStation and I remember when they show their logo at the game start up screen it sounded like they were saying Electronic Arse? Did anyone else notice that?

$EA I believe most recall that Obama had near zero rates for his entire 2 terms and they only raised rates AFTER Trump had won the election. It was the longest sugar high in US history by a large margin. The FED raised rates on Trump1 multiple times while CPI inflation was UNDER the FED target of 2% including before an election which used to be off limits. The FED refused to hike rates on Biden until mid-2022 and CPI had already passed 8% while repeating the Biden admin's "transitory" term which obviously was not true. The FED cut rates 3X for the Biden admin at the 2024 elections including a jumbo 50 basis points in SEP to juice the economy and markets for the incumbents. Notably, core CPI was 2.4% in that SEP 2024 jumbo cut EXACTLY where it is today. Should the FED raise this week, it confirms the evidence that they are an arm of the Democrat party.
