1. And the markets dont like it one bit... NT

[spooky3]

6. They've declined a lot since TSF bragged about the Dow's hitting 50000. Nt

[Prairie Gates]

9. Inflation rising fast while job losses accelerate

The market will probably start liking private security and police equipment businesses soon.

They're gonna need 'em.

12. I'm buckling up...

planning to retire in seven years. Hopefully my portfolio will reciver after what I think is coming....

15. Say it. STAGFLATION.

Stocks down.
Unemployment up.
Earnings flat or lower.
Interest Rates UP.

We should get great rates on CDs.
But with Trump ALWAYS pushing for the fed to lower rates he will screw up this STAGFLATION even worse.

17. All true but earnings are not flat

as far as I understand.

2. That's month over month

This is a bad sign. Over a year that would be almost 10% inflation.

DOW down 600 points early.

The media needs to check the stock market boasts from Trump. His first year in office the DOW had below average returns. It was still a solid year, but this isn't some great bull run. And 13 months in, it's looking worse and worse.

Worst jobs year in ages. GDP growth falling. Inflation rising. Trump econmics.

[Dave says]

7. Compounded, it's over 10%

But that’s not CPI. That should be interesting when it’s next published.

[Johnny2X2X]

11. Aha

Correct.

With the jobs market so under water, people cannot afford another round of significant price increases. This is terrible news for working people.

[viva la]

14. Trump will probably suppress the numbers.

"What you don't know won't hurt my poll numbers!"

[Dave says]

16. You betcha'!

Stop testing for COVID, no more pandemic, right Mr. Prez?

8. Yup, GDP adjusted down to 1.4% the last quarter.

Our GDP is not producing enough to just pay for the interest on our debt.

As far as inflation goes, I still believe that the fossil fuel industry is artificially keeping gasoline and diesel prices low as a thank you to Krasnov for his deregulations and giving them our federal land and water to drill, mine, and log on.

Higher gasoline prices would skyrocket inflation.

[gab13by13]

3. What that means

is that down the road, inflation is going to go up, it takes it a little while for wholesale prices to translate to retail prices.

Check out the right wing economic articles though, they want 3 or 4 Fed rate cuts this year, which will, increase inflation.

The only economic policy that Krasnov has is to weaken the dollar, everything he does is geared for that one goal.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. Weaker dollar will only increase inflation because it reduces buying power.

[gab13by13]

10. Absolutely,

with AI and a new Fed chair, maybe economists should start throwing around the D word, deflation.

4. WHO

Did not expect this fresh Hell????? 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Brainless cultist.
Kamala and Dems screamed it to the heavens. (Not the one MAGA’s will end in).
Hillary screamed it in 2016.

13. 2 Things I don't want a bargain on

1. Healthcare
2. Food

I rarely look at the price of food, I buy a lot of organic because it tastes better and there is a better chance it isn't full of RoundUp.

Now that Krasnov is protecting the makers of RoundUp, Katie bar the door. Funny, RoundUp is banned in many countries.

Back to my grocery shopping, I do see the final total when I check out and I have to admit that I am now looking at food prices.
