The global and US sector charts continue to be very weak after this past week's relief rally with technical snapbacks now complete. Much of this past week's buying imbalance has been inspired by the tech sector as those who missed the rally in these areas of investment in the first half of the year believe that this is a golden opportunity to participate. Next couple of sessions will tell the tale of what to expect for the rest of October, but my "spidey sense" is tingling that there's much more downside still yet to come.

I remember posters said many moons ago inflation is over. I am not feeling that while shopping. 

Some items which cost less than $3 couple of years ago are now  $5.45 as of yesterday.

Inflation does not affect my lifestyle coz I have no debts, but I can imagine how ordinary people must be feeling the squeeze.

The 2 hot wars will not help inflation go away. Trade safely. This is not a good time to thump your chest.

Mortgage rates hit 23-year high and home prices show few signs of cooling...  

affordability hit a 38-year low in September.

 

Consumer prices rose 0.4% in September, more than expected

Only thing holding up the Housing ponzi at this point is trapped sellers and artificially lower inventory due to it.

 

No one can afford to sell their house with its 3% mortgage and move to another one at 8%...

 

This is likely to be a long slow malaise ...but Homebuilder stocks look like they are now finished with the echo bubble run.. so early warning there...

I still think we see higher prices next week, at least that is what the astro/cycle/wave pattern tells me, but then we may have the drop you and I are looking for into November. Thanks for the update.

damm damm Zillow has such a nice high estimate for my abode, in case I decide to downsize into a high HOA condo or sumting.
