Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta sexta-feira (27):O ministro do STF Gilmar Mendes suspendeu a quebra dos sigilos bancário, fiscal e telemático da empresa Maridt, que tem entre os sócios o ministro Dias Toffoli. A medida havia sido determinada pela CPI do Crime Organizado para investigar a compra de um resort por um fundo ligado ao ex-banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro, do Banco Master. O presidente do Senado, Davi Alcolumbre (União-AP), determinou a apuração da votação que aprovou a quebra de sigilos de Lulinha, filho do presidente Lula (PT), após parlamentares da base governista alegarem fraude na contagem dos votos na CPMI do INSS. O Senado da Argentina aprovou o projeto que reduz a maioridade penal de 16 para 14 anos. A proposta tem apoio do presidente Javier Milei, que defendia idade mínima de 13 anos, mas recuou após negociação com aliados. O texto passou por 44 votos a 27. Segundo a Casa Rosada, adolescentes condenados ficarão em espaços separados dos adultos e a prisão em regime fechado será aplicada apenas a crimes graves, como homicídio. O comentarista Luiz Felipe D'Avila comentou a aprovação pelo Senado argentino da redução da maioridade penal de 16 para 14 anos, uma pauta defendida pelo presidente Javier Milei. Segundo ele, a medida representa a ideia liberal de que liberdade só existe com responsabilidade e que quem viola a lei deve responder pelos seus atos. O senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) se reuniu com o governador de São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos-SP), em meio às articulações para as eleições. Após o encontro no Palácio dos Bandeirantes, Tarcísio elogiou o senador e afirmou que ele “vai fazer a diferença” e será capaz de unir forças em um projeto de responsabilidade fiscal e visão de futuro.O governador de Minas Gerais, Romeu Zema (Novo-MG), anunciou que detentos irão auxiliar nos trabalhos de limpeza em Ubá, na Zona da Mata, após as fortes chuvas que atingiram o município e causaram destruição em diversos pontos da cidade. O anúncio foi feito pelas redes sociais e gerou debate na internet. Durante análise sobre o cenário eleitoral em São Paulo e as dificuldades do presidente Lula (PT) para montar um palanque competitivo no estado, o comentarista Bruno Musa afirmou que o PT hoje representa apenas 9% do poder político no Brasil. As estatais brasileiras registraram déficit de R$ 4,9 bilhões em janeiro, o pior resultado para o mês em valores nominais, segundo relatório de estatísticas fiscais do Banco Central. No acumulado dos últimos 12 meses, o rombo chega a R$ 9,7 bilhões. A Corregedoria Regional da Polícia Federal no Rio de Janeiro afastou preventivamente o ex-deputado federal Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) do cargo de escrivão na delegacia da PF em Angra dos Reis, na Costa Verde fluminense. A medida vale até a decisão final do processo administrativo disciplinar aberto em 27 de janeiro para apurar faltas injustificadas. O ex-ministro da Previdência Carlos Lupi (PDT) foi citado em delações premiadas firmadas por ex-dirigentes do INSS no inquérito que apura o esquema de descontos ilegais em aposentadorias e benefícios. Segundo informações divulgadas pelo portal Metrópoles, Lupi teria atuado para proteger indicados seus que ocupavam cargos estratégicos no instituto.

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta quinta-feira (26):O deputado Rogério Correia (PT-MG) admite ter agredido o deputado Luiz Lima (Novo-RJ) durante confusão na CPMI do INSS. O episódio ocorreu após a aprovação da quebra de sigilo bancário e fiscal de Fábio Luiz Lula da Silva. O parlamentar afirmou ter reagido a provocações e pediu desculpas nas redes sociais. O senador Eduardo Girão (Novo-CE) comenta a confusão registrada na CPMI do INSS após a aprovação da quebra de sigilo bancário e fiscal de Fábio Luiz Lula da Silva. Segundo ele, a base governista tentou reverter o resultado da votação e tumultuou a sessão. Girão afirma que a comissão seguirá investigando o caso. O presidente da Câmara, Hugo Motta, afirma que não abriria uma CPI para investigar o Banco Master neste momento. Ele argumenta que já há 16 CPIs protocoladas e que apenas cinco podem funcionar simultaneamente, seguindo ordem cronológica. A decisão acompanha posicionamento semelhante no Senado. O Judiciário adiou para março o julgamento sobre a suspensão dos chamados “penduricalhos”, verbas indenizatórias que podem elevar salários acima do teto constitucional. Durante a sessão, associações de magistrados defenderam os auxílios e uma juíza aposentada afirmou que o salário “mal paga um lanche”. O presidente do STF, Edson Fachin, classificou o tema como “tormentoso”. Parlamentares da base governista recorrem ao presidente do Senado, Davi Alcolumbre, para tentar anular a decisão da CPMI do INSS que aprovou a quebra de sigilo fiscal e bancário de Fábio Luiz Lula da Silva. Governistas alegam erro na contagem de votos e questionam a votação simbólica conduzida pelo presidente da comissão. Pesquisa Atlas Intel em parceria com a Bloomberg revela que 91,5% dos brasileiros acreditam que organizações criminosas exercem controle ou forte influência sobre a política e a Justiça no país. O levantamento ouviu 4.986 pessoas entre os dias 19 e 24 de fevereiro, com margem de erro de aproximadamente um ponto percentual. O presidente da Câmara, Hugo Motta, defende a PEC que prevê o fim da escala 6x1 e compara a proposta ao fim da escravidão no Brasil. Segundo ele, decisões consideradas “impossíveis” no passado também enfrentaram resistência antes de se tornarem avanços históricos. A votação da matéria está prevista para maio.

Yelena Shulyatyeva and Ian Wyatt break down the latest inflation data. Ian thinks investors should focus on the PCE over the CPI report and explains how their different weightings give them different perspectives. Yelena thinks that the continued imposition of tariffs will keep inflation up. She explains why she's looking at the February employment report more than the January one, citing seasonality and a low response rate among other factors. Yelena and Ian discuss how many rate cuts, if any, we'll see this year from the Fed.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Ali Meli breaks down the January PPI report, which came in hot, and contrasts it with a cooler CPI. He believes AI CapEx may be showing up in PPI as data center buildout accelerates, noting that this area is “not that cost sensitive” and willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars. He anticipates a margin squeeze as a lot of these companies are also losing money on their products. Ali thinks this dynamic could force the Fed's hand on rates and its balance sheet, and explains how. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Bom dia 247_ quebra de sigilo de Fábio Luís abre guerra na CPI 27_2_26 by TV 247
The Midwest is quietly leading rent growth while the Sunbelt continues to cool but sellers haven't gotten the memo.In this episode of The Gray Report, we break down what we're actually seeing on the ground: Fort Wayne acquisition opportunities that don't quite pencil, cap rates creeping into the mid-5s and 6s, and why discipline matters more than ever in a slow-growth environment. We also unpack preferred returns (what they are — and what they definitely are not), challenge the accuracy of CPI's shelter inflation data, and discuss whether the Fed may be making decisions based on flawed housing metrics. If you care about where multifamily is heading in 2026 — and how to navigate uncertainty without overreaching — this one's for you.
No “Estadão Analisa” desta sexta-feira, 27, Carlos Andreazza fala sobre a autorização do ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) André Mendonça para a quebra dos sigilos bancários, fiscais e telemáticos de Fábio Luís Lula da Silva, o Lulinha. A decisão foi tomada antes da sessão desta quinta-feira, 26, da CPI do INSS, quando foi aprovada a quebra dos sigilos bancário e fiscal do filho mais velho do presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. A quebra de sigilos bancário e fiscal do Lulinha remete aos piores momentos da longa carreira política do pai, o presidente Lula − mensalão, Lava Jato e prisão – e desaba sobre a campanha da reeleição justamente quando o senador Flávio Bolsonaro se firma e ganha fôlego como o principal candidato da oposição. Quanta poeira, ou lama, pode sair daí? Afinal, Lula está virtualmente reeleito? É o mais forte candidato, mas a resposta, nua e crua, é que não. Se as pesquisas até aqui capturavam o favoritismo do presidente, começam a registrar que não é bem assim e a campanha vai ser uma pedreira, ainda mais difícil do que a de 2022, que ele venceu já por margem bem apertada.

O projeto segue agora para sanção do presidente Lula (PT), que pode sancionar, vetar parcialmente ou vetar integralmente. Em entrevista ao programa Os Pingos nos Is, o deputado Guilherme Derrite (PL-SP) comentou a aprovação do PL Antifacção e afirmou que o governo federal já reconhecia que seria derrotado na votação. Segundo o relator, o texto aprovado mantém quase integralmente a versão da Câmara e cria regras mais rígidas para o combate ao crime organizado. O projeto segue agora para sanção do presidente Lula (PT).Derrite (PL-SP) ainda relatou visita ao ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL) na Papudinha e afirmou que teve seu nome confirmado como pré-candidato ao Senado por São Paulo. O encontro contou com a presença do senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) e tratou de articulações políticas e estratégias eleitorais. O Senado aprova projeto de lei que endurece regras para condenados por crimes contra policiais e agentes de segurança. A proposta amplia a aplicação do Regime Disciplinar Diferenciado (RDD) e prevê medidas mais rígidas para presos reincidentes em crimes com violência grave ou ameaça. O texto segue agora para análise da Câmara dos Deputados. A CPI do Crime Organizado aprova requerimentos para investigar o caso Banco Master e convoca o empresário Daniel Vorcaro e irmãos do ministro do STF Dias Toffoli.

Após forte repercussão pública, um desembargador do Tribunal de Justiça de Minas Gerais voltou atrás em decisão anterior e condenou um homem acusado de estupro de vulnerável contra uma menina de 12 anos.

O senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) anuncia os nomes de Carlos Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) e Carol de Toni (PL-SC) como candidatos do Partido Liberal ao Senado por Santa Catarina. O anúncio foi feito durante evento do PL e encerra a disputa interna pela composição da chapa no estado para as eleições de 2026. Você confere essas e outras notícias em Os Pingos nos Is.

Last night’s State of the Union Address was, though indirectly, in many ways largely indicative of the ‘State of our Union’; irascible, beleaguered, gaslighted, schizophrenic.

Claim Rebuttal Source Rebuttal ‘$18 trillion’ in investments CNN’s Daniel Dale “…the White House’s own website said the figure for “major investment announcements” during this Trump term was “$9.7 trillion,” and even that is a major exaggeration; a detailed CNN review in [Oct 2025] found [WH counting trillions in] vague investment pledges, pledges that were about “bilateral trade” or “economic exchange” rather than investment in the US and vague statements that didn’t even rise to the level of pledges.” Low gas prices (2.30, 1.99, 1.85) CNN’s Daniel Dale According to AAA: only 2 states w/ avg < $2.50/gal; GasBuddy: 4:150k (.003%) gas stations w/ gas < $2/gal Inherited record inflation CNN’s Daniel Dale Dec, 2024 Y-O-Y inflation (CPI): 2.9% Inherited stagnant economy CNN’s Daniel Dale False (see details) Passed largest tax cuts (GBBB) in American history CNN’s Tami Luhby “It ranks seventh in terms of share of GDP since 1918, according to Chris Towner, policy director for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan watchdog group.” Biden allowed ‘11,888 murderers’ to enter US as migrants CNN’s Daniel Dale ““11,888” number is about non-citizens who entered the US not just under Biden but over the course of multiple decades, including during Trump’s own first administration.” Foreign countries are paying T47 tariffs CNN’s Daniel Dale “In an analysis released in February, officials at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York wrote, “We find that nearly 90 percent of the tariffs’ economic burden fell on U.S. firms and consumers.”…[CBO] wrote in a February report that “the net effect of tariffs is to raise U.S. consumer prices by the full portion of the cost of the tariffs borne domestically (95 percent)”…” Fraud in Minnesota CNN’s Daniel Dale “…Walz admin official said in December that they had “evidence of tens of millions of dollars in fraud to this point,” not $9[/18/19] billion…” US elections claims CNN’s Daniel Dale Disputed (see details) More Americans are working today than ever CNN’s Daniel Dale “The labor force participation rate, which measures the percentage of the population that is employed or actively looking for work, has been almost unchanged…” Ended eight wars CNN’s Daniel Dale Largely disputed (see details) Achieved no tax on Social Security CNN’s Tami Luhby Disputed, misleading (see details) Balancing the federal budget by ending fraud CNN’s Tami Luhby 2024 GAO estimate “found that [$233–521B] is lost to fraud annually.

Inflation “cooled” to a 2.4% headline print and yields eased, so the market tried to act like everything's fine. Then you pay your utility bill, buy groceries, or look at a mortgage payment and remember we're living in a post 2020 price reset economy. In this episode, we break down why CPI can look “better” while real life stays expensive, why housing is still stuck even with slightly lower rates, and how incentives are doing the heavy lifting for builders while affordability remains the real problem. We also hit the reality check in autos with record 1.67T in debt and subprime delinquencies at an all time high. And because the timeline can't just be normal, we wrap with the AI ladder, from narrow tools to agentic systems, and what it means when the robots go from talking to doing.
Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta segunda-feira (23):O governador de Minas Gerais, Romeu Zema (Novo), classificou o possível envolvimento de autoridades no caso do Banco Master como “farra dos intocáveis”. Em vídeo publicado nas redes sociais, Zema criticou figuras que, segundo ele, “mandam, mas não prestam conta” e convocou manifestação na Avenida Paulista. As declarações ocorrem em meio a investigações e desdobramentos do escândalo financeiro. A Polícia Federal teria deixado de compartilhar com o Judiciário o conteúdo de dezenas de aparelhos eletrônicos apreendidos no caso do Banco Master, incluindo 52 celulares, segundo informações divulgadas pela imprensa. O ministro André Mendonça cobrou detalhes sobre o material analisado, enquanto o episódio abre nova tensão entre governo e Judiciário. Apesar da resistência à criação de uma CPI exclusiva sobre o Banco Master, senadores articulam alternativas para ouvir Daniel Vorcaro em outras comissões da Casa. A expectativa é que o depoimento possa esclarecer pontos sobre o escândalo e possíveis conexões com outros casos, como o INSS. O presidente Lula (PT) comentou as críticas ao desfile da Acadêmicos de Niterói, que o homenageou no Carnaval. Em entrevista, afirmou que “não é carnavalesco” e que apenas aceitou a homenagem. A ex-primeira-dama Michelle Bolsonaro reagiu nas redes, acusando o presidente de ter anuído com ironias contra conservadores. O episódio segue repercutindo no cenário político. O prefeito de Maricá e vice-presidente nacional do PT, Washington Quaquá, criticou a ala “Neoconservadores em conserva” do desfile da Acadêmicos de Niterói, que homenageou o presidente Lula (PT). Para Quaquá, quem deseja governar o país precisa dialogar com o “Brasil real” e não pode deixar de conversar com eleitores conservadores. A fala ocorre após forte repercussão negativa do desfile nas redes sociais. Aliados do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL) voltaram a trocar críticas públicas nas redes sociais. O embate envolve o ex-deputado Federal Eduardo Bolsonaro, o deputado Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) e a ex-primeira-dama Michelle Bolsonaro. A tensão aumentou após divergências sobre manifestações e prioridades políticas, incluindo o caso Banco Master e a pauta da anistia. As declarações reacenderam especulações sobre um racha interno no grupo. Uma onda de violência tomou conta do México após a morte de um dos principais líderes do Cartel Jalisco Nova Geração, conhecido como “El Mencho”. Pelo menos 57 pessoas morreram em confrontos e ataques, incluindo integrantes da Guarda Nacional e agentes públicos. Bloqueios, incêndios e suspensão de aulas foram registrados em diferentes estados do país. Levantamento da Instituição Fiscal Independente do Senado aponta que os gastos do governo com benefícios sociais aumentaram quase 500% desde 2004, atingindo R$ 383 bilhões anuais. O crescimento pressiona as regras fiscais e já provoca debate dentro da própria equipe econômica do Planalto sobre possíveis mudanças na concessão dos programas.

The Michael Yardney Podcast | Property Investment, Success & Money
Inflation has eased… except where it hasn't. Interest rates were meant to be heading down… until they weren't. And suddenly everyone's blaming government spending. But is Canberra really the culprit - or is that just a convenient headline? Today, Ken Raiss and I unpack what's actually driving Australia's sticky inflation, why the RBA is worried about "capacity constraints", and what policy makers could do that would genuinely take pressure off prices - without smashing households and without sabotaging the property market. Now you've probably read about inflation and heard about it a hundred times by now, but having been involved in financial markets and property for over 50 years each, Ken and I are going to bring you a different perspective today and some new ways of thinking about things. So please bear with us because I hope we're going to bring you some clarity and direction. Takeaways Inflation is the increase in prices over time. Interest rates are used to control inflation but can have negative effects on consumers. Government spending can contribute to inflation, but it's not the sole cause. Capacity constraints in the economy affect productivity and inflation rates. CPI may not accurately reflect the real cost of living for households. Investors should focus on A-grade assets in strong demand areas. Deficits can be acceptable if they lead to productive investments. Consumer confidence is crucial for economic stability. Strategic planning is essential for navigating the property market. Understanding economic fundamentals is key to making informed investment decisions.

Rent increases in Quebec just got a major overhaul for the first time in decades, and this renewal season is the first real test. In this episode, Axel Monsaingeon sits down with Cory Friedman to break down what changed, what stayed the same, and where landlords and operators can get burned if their bookkeeping is not airtight. You will learn how the new framework uses a three year rolling CPI average, how capital expenses can now play a bigger role in allowable increases, and why taxes and insurance only help you when they rise faster than CPI.

As India updates the way it measures inflation, Monika explains why the revision of the Consumer Price Index base year from 2012 to 2024 matters and what it really means for households. Drawing on new data from the Household Consumption Expenditure Survey, she breaks down how the CPI basket evolves over time to reflect changing consumption patterns — from the decline of outdated products to the rise of digital services, transport, and other modern expenses. The episode clarifies how shifts in weightages, especially the reduced share of food and the higher share of services, will influence headline inflation and policymaking.Monika also explains why the CPI is an average that may not match individual experience, and how the new index should give policymakers a more accurate picture of real household spending pressures. She highlights that lower food weight may make inflation appear less volatile, while costs that matter most to many middle-class families — healthcare, education, housing, and services — continue to rise faster than the headline number. The key takeaway: inflation data is improving, but personal financial planning should always be based on one's own spending patterns, not just official statistics.In listener questions, Anonymous asks how global developments such as U.S. debt concerns, de-dollarisation, and shifting geopolitical power could affect Indian markets and whether investors should change their asset allocation or SIP strategy; Djay from Mumbai seeks guidance on retirement planning for couples and how to estimate and invest toward a child's education corpus; and Ramya Srinivasan writes about deploying proceeds from a property sale, weighing PMS investments against mutual funds, and the best way to move a lump sum into equity over time.Chapters:(00:00 – 00:00) What the New Consumer Price Index Means for You(00:00 – 00:00) How Changes in the CPI Basket and Weightages Affect Inflation and Policy(00:00 – 00:00) Global Risks, Market Crashes and Staying Invested Through Uncertainty(00:00 – 00:00) Planning Retirement as a Couple and Building a Child Education Corpus(00:00 – 00:00) PMS vs Mutual Funds and How to Deploy a Large Lump Sumhttps://www.hindustantimes.com/opinion/why-india-needs-a-new-gold-standard-101770307424675.htmlhttps://www.mospi.gov.in/uploads/latestreleasesfiles/1770893247472-Press%20Relase%20of%20CPI%20for%20Jan26.pdfIf you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at mailme@monikahalan.com Monika's book on basic money managementhttps://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-money-english/Monika's book on mutual fundshttps://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-mutual-funds/Monika's workbook on recording your financial lifehttps://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-legacy/Calculatorshttps://investor.sebi.gov.in/calculators/index.htmlYou can find Monika on her social media @monikahalan.

"Money is Money, and Paper is Paper. All the invention of man cannot make them otherwise." With that line, Thomas Paine opened a devastating critique of paper money, clearly demonstrating that gold and silver are far superior. Unfortunately, the powers that be didn't listen to Paine. And neither did the investment world, because it's managed to turn the market for gold and silver into its own paper markets. It's not exactly the same as fiat money, but the impacts are similar. We're seeing this manifest in the silver market today. In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, Mike Maharrey delves into the battle now raging between the paper silver futures market and the physical silver market and how it is driving the price. He also explains why he thinks the physical market will ultimately prevail. In this episode, Mike also gives a quick overview of the recent CPI report and tells you why you might consider taking investment advice from a 10-year-old.

Derek Moore is joined by Mike Snyder to talk about the CPI release and how there isn't any evidence that tariffs are causing any issues with inflation.

Markets closed out the week balancing cooler inflation against renewed volatility in tech and AI. U.S. CPI rose 2.4% year-over-year in January, with core inflation falling to 2.5% — the lowest level since March 2021. While the report strengthens the case for potential Fed rate cuts, it follows a robust labor market update earlier in the week, keeping policy expectations finely balanced. Equities struggled, with the Nasdaq dropping 2% amid fresh AI disruption fears despite Anthropic raising $30 billion at a $380 billion valuation. Meanwhile, China posted a record $242 billion current account surplus in Q4 2025, highlighting export resilience despite weak domestic demand. Oil slipped on reports that OPEC+ may resume production increases in April. Gold rebounded after briefly falling below $5,000 per ounce. The yen is on track for its strongest week in a year versus the dollar. In crypto, Bitcoin remains stable week-over-week. Coinbase shares rose despite a Q4 earnings miss, even as reports surfaced that CEO Brian Armstrong has sold roughly $500 million in stock over the past nine months. Several crypto CEOs, including leaders from Ripple, Gemini, Uniswap, and Chainlink, have joined the CFTC advisory group. A volatile week wraps with inflation cooling — but crosscurrents in AI, geopolitics, and liquidity remain firmly in play.
Together at last. In a rare joint performance, Dante and Matt join the Inside Economics crew to unpack January's jobs and CPI reports. The brief federal government shutdown delayed economic data releases a few days, which made for a loaded slate this week. Dante shares his impression of January's seemingly strong jobs report and then the team plays the stats game. A brief hiatus did not affect Marisa's ability to dominate. Matt then goes through the first inflation data of 2026, and where it looks like inflation is headed in the coming months.View the Full U.S. Macroeconomic Outlook Webinar here: https://events.moodys.com/ta6186-2026-bank-odwbn-mau28334-us-economic-outlook-q1View our AI generated paper here: https://www.economy.com/getfile?q=165AB685-ED95-43E8-8533-DA2CE131A01A&app=downloadHosts: Mark Zandi – Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, Cris deRitis – Deputy Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, and Marisa DiNatale – Senior Director - Head of Global Forecasting, Moody's AnalyticsFollow Mark Zandi on 'X' and BlueSky @MarkZandi, Cris deRitis on LinkedIn, and Marisa DiNatale on LinkedIn Questions or Comments, please email us at helpeconomy@moodys.com.

Global markets are leaning into growth. Following the upside surprise in U.S. non-farm payrolls — with 130,000 jobs added and unemployment falling to 4.3% — investors are focusing on economic resilience rather than fading hopes of aggressive rate cuts. MSCI's All-World index is trading near record highs, while South Korea's Kospi has crossed 5,500 for the first time. Attention now turns to initial jobless claims and the upcoming CPI print, which could shape expectations for the Federal Reserve's June decision. CME FedWatch odds for a rate hold have climbed to 40%. In the UK, GDP expanded just 0.1% in Q4, while industrial production fell unexpectedly. Meanwhile, Nuveen has agreed to acquire asset manager Schroders for $13.5 billion. In digital assets, crypto markets remain steady despite Blockfills halting withdrawals. BlackRock is deepening its move into tokenized finance, bringing its Treasury-backed BUIDL token to Uniswap through Securitize. Court drama surrounding FTX has resurfaced, and Kraken has replaced its CFO ahead of its public listing. A busy macro backdrop with institutional crypto developments accelerating beneath the surface.
In this episode of Dividend Cafe, Brian Szytel provides an update on a mixed market day with little movement in the indices. The DOW dropped by 66 points, the S&P was flat, and the Nasdaq saw a slight decrease. Bond yields rose following a strong non-farm payroll report, which showed 130,000 new jobs against an expected 55,000, led by the healthcare sector. The unemployment rate also decreased to 4.3%, while hourly wages grew by 0.4% for January, totaling a 3.7% year-over-year increase. Labor force participation ticked up to 62.5%. Szytel addresses questions about inflation perceptions versus reported CPI, explaining the difference between disinflation and deflation. He concludes with a reminder that good news should be seen positively and notes market reactions to Federal Reserve rate expectations. 00:00 Introduction and Market Overview 00:27 Employment Report Insights 01:25 Labor Force Participation Trends 04:00 Inflation and Personal Experience 05:20 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com
