Current unofficial NY Fed projections are 68% sure 2023 output will be btw -1.9% to +4.0%. Just plain nonsense. For Q1 '24, btw -3% and +5%. So, either utterly horrible quarter or something like '21. No wonder they're hiking rates, they have no clue.

3 central banks hiked rates today (Swiss, Norway, England), why? The same reason the Fed has paused. The level of uncertainty is off the charts, they have no idea which way the economy is going to go. DSGE models are all over the place over the next year.

S&P Global Flash PMIs are indicating a global synchronized manufacturing recession

Wait, what? Dollars are scare!?! More evidence of a global dollar shortage.

Dollars Are So Scarce in Argentina That Yuan Use Is at a Record

Initial claims +264k. The labor market is strong they say. Powell thinks rates need to go higher. On the brink of collapse I say.

Most people don't understand the circular flow of dollars through the global economy has been broken. Don't blame the Fed though. They are clueless.







Just in time for Fed's pause, KC Fed's manufacturing PMI prices received index sank by 13 pts to just +3. Lowest since 2020 and suggesting an accelerating "disinflation." Almost completing the supply shock round trip.



New cycle low for KC Fed's manufacturing PMI. Inventory down big, both coming and going. Employment index down to -12, too. Maybe agreeing w/three weeks of higher jobless claims
