FED Powell Confirms – Yield Curve Inversion Imminent

7/17/2018 – A positive day with the Dow Jones up 55 points (+0.22%) and the Nasdaq up 49 points (+0.63%) 

Here is why remaining market bears should rejoice and have a bit of a party despite some indices hitting new all time highs.

Powell backs more rate hikes as economy growing ‘considerably stronger’

The U.S. economy is running at a fast enough pace to justify continued interest rate increases, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said Tuesday.

“Overall, we see the risk of the economy unexpectedly weakening as roughly balanced with the possibility of the economy growing faster than we currently anticipate,” Powell said.

“The unemployment rate is low and expected to fall further. Americans who want jobs have a good chance of finding them,” he added.

I am too lazy to look it up, but the thinking above might as well be copy/pasted from 2000 and 2007 tops.

The damage is already spreading throughout financial firms and the economy.

Than again, what do I know, according to the bulls this time is different.
