I'm leaning towards an upside surprise - really starting to question the validity of the bear market.  I believe we were due for one when Jerome unleashed the mother of all helicopter cash drops, nipping the bear in the bud, creating an asset bubble and kicking off a surge of inflation.  Investors may have misconstrued the decline from the bubble top and the consolidation of the prior bull gains as the early stages of a wicked bear market - which could actually still be ahead of us - or maybe it won't be needed because inflation is doing the job in real tems (and in a stealthy fashion, keeping the bears in anticipation of a crash in nominal terms that may have actually been averted).  Jerome is not the idiot that he wants everyone to believe he is.

Jerome definitely is no fool. I can't imagine why anybody would want the job. it's like walking around with a target on your back.

Stocks are rallying on the news thagt FED will not raise rates next week.

And big rescue of 2 failing banks is also bullish.

 

However all this  increases inflation, and that is the fly in the ointment.

Inflation rise will force the hand of FED. Interest rates rose today! 

We are very long away from 2% target inflation.

 

Market still down 20% from market high in January 2022. 

Keep the longer term scenario fresh in minds.

I was well aware of that yesterday........but that is how the stock market behaves and what you can see before it happens if you know how to read the charts

The longer term scenario is to inflate-away 30+ trillion in national debt plus student loan debt plus future debt as it incurs.  Everyone knows the 2% target is a hoax.  They'll probably need more and bigger war as scapegoat for the consequences and obfuscation of the true villains - no doubt they will succeed in those efforts..

No. Our real problem is deflation. Inflation, it just depends on what definition of transitory you are willing to accept.

If there is deflation, why are both my kids getting double digit raises? One is a lawyer and other evaluates effectiveness of new cancer drugs.

Well, this isn't good.  They're opening the spigots - bailing everyone out,  Will there never be a day of reckoning?

Although I do think the fed's mission is to inflate hard and long, they must avoid hyperinflation, i.e., a crack-up boom.  How can they prevent that outcome while flooding the country with liquidity?  Maybe they will need to temper the wealth effect?  Maybe not pause - or only for a short period?  If they're going to put all the bank fires out with buckets of money instead of water, then the crisis of the moment is solved and rates can go higher.  I'm troubled by noticing that the S&P wedge might also be a H&S, although technically it may not meet the criteria.  I'm still thinking we could rally to near ATHs, but then - maybe - the real grizzly could step out of the cave and tear us a new one.
