Despite the confidence Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is doing his best to project, inflation has not yet been slain. And today's guest expert, Jim Bianco, founder of market research firm Bianco Research, thinks it's going to continue to prove problematic as the return of the "bond vigilantes" increasingly undermines the Fed's efforts. We'll talk about his reasons why, as well as his concerns about the current extreme valuations in stocks, and why if they experience a material correction, bonds may not provide the protection to portfolios they did in the past.

The Cleveland Fed's expectations for increased inflation; Oil prices rise on increased Russia sacntions (thanks, Joe Biden); economic impact of California wildfires & the Broken Window Theory: There will be a short-term uptick from rebuilding activity. Markets point lower on hawkish Fed tone; current correction process is normal. There is not data to support investor sentiment on inflation sparked by tariffs; how we really create inflation. Employment increases inflation. Companies are front-running tariffs. Rising interest rates lead to valuation reversals.

On Friday, Judge Juan Merchan carried out Donald Trump's criminal sentencing, officially making him a felon in the eyes of the law. However, the sentence was absolutely nothing - literally - and Trump will have zero consequences other than the title of convicted felon. Nevertheless, Trump whined like a baby after the sentencing, going on a completely unhinged rant on his social media platform.Last week, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that they were doing away with the fact-checking program that Facebook had implemented years ago, allowing misinformation to immediately run rampant on the platform. But it has now been revealed that Zuckerberg quietly met with Donald Trump to discuss the matter before the public announcement. Trump now has three of the wealthiest people in the world in his pocket, along with the top social media platforms on earth.Donald Trump is learning very quickly that our neighbors to the North are not to be trifled with. Canadian lawmakers are working on a plan to introduce retaliatory tariffs against the United States if Trump follows through with his plans, and they are specifically targeting industries in Trump's new home state of Florida. We are headed for a global showdown that we can't afford to fight and that we almost certainly can't win.According to a new analysis by CNBC, the Federal Reserve believes that Donald Trump's policies are going to cause out of control inflation which has the potential to completely tank the US economy. The Fed cited two policies specifically: Mass deportations and tariffs, which they believe will be the driving force behind inflation in the next few years. Trump has been warned by every smart person in the country that he's on a course that could ruin the economy, he just doesn't care.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

La multiplication des indicateurs économiques robustes aux Etats-Unis est en train d'effrayer les investisseurs. Cette phrase peut paraître bizarre, mais elle est bien réelle : les financiers aiment quand les situations sont sous contrôle, parce que cela limite les risques. Quand l'économie va mal ou quand elle va trop bien, des déséquilibres apparaissent et peuvent provoquer des crises.

The job report was good, but why is that bad? Before we go into why the good report was bad, let's talk about some of the data. The expected number of payrolls was 155,000, which came in well above that at 256,000 jobs for the month of December and also increased from November when it was 212,000 jobs. This high increase in payrolls caused unemployment to drop to 4.1% and came along with an increase in average hourly earnings of 0.3% for December. Over the last 12 months average hourly earnings have increased 3.9%, which is a decent number, but just under the expected growth in average hourly earnings. Job Growth was seen in healthcare with an increase of 46,0000 jobs. That was followed by leisure and hospitality which saw an increase of 43,000 jobs and government jobs, which includes Federal, state and local jobs were up 33,000. Because it was a holiday season there was an increase in retail jobs of 43,000 after the loss of 29,000 jobs in November. There are always revisions to the previous two months, but there was not much change here as October saw an increase of 7000 jobs and the November report was actually cut by 15,000 jobs which produced a total decline of only 8000 jobs for the past two months. Because the job report was so good compared to expectations, this put fear in the stock market and bond market that there may not be any interest rate cuts until the fall of this year. This also led to concerns that we could maybe see more inflation going forward. Maybe that makes sense for traders to sell, but investors should want a strong economy. That means your businesses will sell more goods and services and increase their profits. Interest sensitive equities like real estate were hit pretty hard with a good job report and banks also had a little trouble digesting the good report and declined as well. For investors I think this is a good report because it shows strength in the economy and based on the recent job openings from the JOLTS report, I think 2025 will be a good investment year for investors in fairly valued equities, but you will see a lot of scary volatility, which smart investors should use as a buying opportunity.   Job openings report sends the market lower! The JOLTs report, which stands for Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey showed an impressive increase in job openings in the month of November to 8.096 million. This easily topped the estimate of 7.65 million and October's reading of 7.839 million, which was revised upward from the initial number of 7.744 million. While this points to a labor market that has continued to remain strong, there were some indications of softening. On a year-over-year basis, job openings fell by 833,000 and the quits rate moved from 2.1% in October to 1.9% in November. This indicates workers are less confident in finding another job if they quit their current one, which should put less pressure on wage inflation. The resiliency in the labor market is concerning for those that are looking for more rate cuts as a strong labor market allows the Fed to be patient and wait for inflation to cool further. The news paired with a December US services sector report that showed faster-than-expected growth and higher prices paid caused the ten-year Treasury to climb to around 4.7%. This spooked many speculative areas of the market including technology and cryptocurrencies.   Apple Intelligence, maybe not so intelligent? Apple's AI system, also known as Apple Intelligence, has been having some issues and has been spreading fake news. One of the AI features for iPhones summarizes users' notifications, but some of the news stories it has been summarizing has been completely inaccurate. It recently attempted to summarize a BBC News notification that falsely claimed British darts player Luke Littler had won the championship. Unfortunately, this came a day before the actual tournament's final, which Littler did end up winning. Maybe Apple Intelligence is so good it can predict the future? This was not the only false story though as Apple Intelligence has now wrongly claimed that Tennis star Rafael Nadal had come out as gay, Luigi Mangione, the man arrested following the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, had shot himself, and that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been arrested. The BBC in particular has been trying for a month to get Apple to fix the problem. In response, Apple apparently told the BBC it's working on an update that would add clarification that shows when Apple Intelligence is responsible for the text displayed in the notifications. This compares to the current situation where generated news notifications show up as coming directly from the source. To me this doesn't sound like a good solution as it doesn't solve the problem and most people likely wouldn't read past the headline anyway. This could still make the news organizations look bad, which I'm sure they are trying to avoid. Personally, I'm still not seeing the need to upgrade to the new iPhone, especially if these new AI features don't provide any value. From an investment standpoint, as you likely know we still believe Apple is extremely expensive trading at nearly 30x future earnings and would not recommend the stock at this time.   The tariffs are coming, who could get hurt? The retail industry will take a big hit on profits. It is estimated that about 23% of durable consumer goods like refrigerators, washers and dryers are connected to imported goods. About 19% of non-durable goods such as diapers, clothing, shoes and towels have some sort of dependency on imported products. These could be slightly higher because the only data available was from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco that came out in a 2019 study. You may think that technology and the Mag Seven will be immune from the hit to profits, but even they could face problems. Nvidia has a 76% gross margin so they should be able to absorb most, if not all of any tariffs that come their way. Apple has half the gross profit margin of Nvidia at 37% and most of their products are built in China, which could be a huge dilemma for Apple. It is no guarantee but last time around the CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, was able to get an exemption on their products. Will that happen in 2025? That's the big question. If they don't get the exemption, their stock could take a massive hit that could be more than Apple investors have seen in a while. If you're an Apple investor, you may want to use the sophisticated investing technique of crossing your fingers and anything else you're able to cross as well and hope for the best. With the other Mag Seven such as Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon and Meta, their products are safe but keep in mind that combined they spent roughly $200 billion in capital expenditures in the most recent quarter and about 60% was on imported equipment. The other industry that could take a big hit would be carmakers, such as Ford, General Motors and Stellantis and we could see hits to the operating profits anywhere from 20 to 30%. The big fear here is the estimate is between 50 to 70% of parts for the popular cars sold in the U.S. come from Canada or Mexico. Experts estimate that the consumers will see about a 6% increase in the price of new cars sold here in the US. I can't even imagine what the increase on the price of a car will be if it's a full import like a Porsche, Maserati or Ferrari. The good news is that the economy in the US is far stronger than Europe, China and Mexico, so we can weather the storm and be in a better negotiating position than those countries. With that said, I do believe we will go through some pain before things get better. I also believe if you have equities with high valuations in your portfolio that are affected by the tariffs, they could take a much larger hit than your low valuation companies that pay dividends.   Changes to Catch-Up Contributions Every year the contribution limits for retirement accounts increase.  This year is a little different because one of the provisions from the Secure Act 2.0 is now active.  If you are under the age of 50, your contribution limit for an employer sponsored retirement plan like a 401(k) is now $23,500, an increase of $500 from 2024.  If you will be 50 or older by the end of the year, you may make an additional catch-up contribution of $7,500 which means your total contribution limit is now $31,000.  However, starting in 2025 thanks to the Secure Act 2.0, if you are between the ages of 60 and 63, you may make a catch-up contribution of $11,250 rather than $7,500, meaning your total contribution limit is $34,750.  This age range is based on how old you will be at the end of the year, so if you are turning 60 this year, you are eligible to contribute the entire $34,750.  However, if you are currently 63 but will be turning 64 this year, you may only contribute $31,000.  If you are wanting to max out your retirement plan, make any necessary adjustments to your payroll contributions now so you don't have to scramble at the end of the year.  This addition catch-up contribution was implemented to help older workers prepare for retirement, but I don't see how this will make much of a difference for anyone.  It increases the contribution limit by $3,750 for 4 years, which is a total of $15,000.  An extra $15,000 is not going to make or break anyone's retirement, especially considering we already the option of funding non-retirement investment accounts after maxing out retirement accounts.   Companies Discussed: Expand Energy Corporation (EXE), Paychex, Inc. (PAYX), Cintas Corporation (CTAS) & United States Steel Corporation (X)

Will mortgage rates remain above seven percent in 2025? Are we closer to a recession than most Americans realize? Why does it feel like this economic cycle of high rates and a struggling middle class will never end? The biggest question is: What do all these factors mean for real estate, and should you still be investing? We brought on the man who literally wrote the book on Recession-Proof Real Estate Investing to give his 2025 outlook. J Scott has flipped over 500 homes, manages and owns thousands of rental units, and has been involved in tens of millions of dollars in real estate transactions. He started investing in 2008; he's seen the worst of recessions and the highest of pricing peaks. We brought him back on the show as our industry expert to provide his time-tested take on what could happen in 2025 and share his economic framework for forecasting what's coming next. J says we're long overdue for a recession—and the red flags are popping up more frequently. While signs of a global recession loom, J explains what this means for mortgage rates and home prices and why now might still be the time to invest. In This Episode We Cover: Why J believes we're closer to a global recession than most people think New Trump presidential policies that could have huge impacts on inflation (and mortgage rates) Whether mortgage rates will stay in the seven percent range EVEN as the Fed lowers rates The broken economic “cycle” we find ourselves in and the only way to fix it  Could home prices correct/crash if mortgage rates finally do fall?

Now, I'm sure the left is just gonna call this a conspiracy theory. ‌ So I'll issue a challenge to them, and maybe they can tell me how he managed to be the judge. Because for these type of cases, the way it's supposed to work is that there is a panel of 24 judges, and they are all put in rotation and randomly assigned these types of cases. Judge Merchan is not on that panel. ‌ That's because he's not a judge. He's an acting judge. So even though they're trying to claim that they didn't pick the judge, that it was randomly assigned, that's not possible because judge Merchan isn't in the pool to be randomly assigned. So the only way he could have caught this case was to be specifically assigned to it. There was no chance of him being randomly selected. ‌ And the wild thing is that according to the left and the department of justice, judge Merchan was not only randomly selected to be the judge in this trial, but he was also randomly selected to be the judge in the Trump Organization case, and he was randomly selected to be the judge in the Steve Bannon case. ‌ So judge Merchan, a judge that is not in the pool of 24 judges that is supposed to catch these cases, a judge that is not an actual judge, but an acting judge caught all 3 Trump related cases randomly. This is a judge who gives heavily to an organization very plainly named Stop Trump, and a judge whose daughter makes tens of millions of dollars every year promoting Democrats. ‌ But, yeah, I'm sure this was just a coincidence. It was a coincidence that one of the most high profile cases ever, we didn't assign a judge, we assigned an acting judge. ‌ And that that judge somehow got selected even though he wasn't in the pool of judges available to be selected, and that that same judge that was selected also caught 2 other Trump related cases in the same year, and then that judge's daughter makes tens of millions of dollars a year promoting Democrats. Yeah. I'm sure that's all a coincidence.”   Post Concerned Citizen @BGatesIsaPyscho “The Pfizer's are filled with SV40” Angus Dalglesh isn't a tin foil hat conspiracy theorist - he's Britains most respected & devoted Oncologist.

Our Head of Corporate Credit Research, Andrew Sheets, offers up bull, bear and base cases for credit markets in the year ahead.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Head of Corporate Credit Research at Morgan Stanley. Today, I'm going to revisit our story for 2025 – and what could make things better or worse.It's Thursday, January 9th at 2pm in London. Based on the number of out-of-office replies, I have a sneaking suspicion that many investors took advantage [of] the timing of holidays this year for a well deserved break. With this week marking the first full week back, I thought it would be a good opportunity to refresh listeners on what we expect in 2025, and realistic scenarios where things are better or worse.Our base case is that credit holds up well this year, doing somewhat better in the first half of 2025 than the second. Credit likes moderation, and while we think the shift in U.S. policy leadership generally means less moderation, and a wider range of economic outcomes, this shift doesn't arrive immediately. On Morgan Stanley's forecasts, the bulk of the disruptive impact from any changes to tariffs or immigration policy hits in 2026.Meanwhile, Credit is entering 2025 with some pretty decent tailwinds. The economy is good. The all-in yield – the total yield – on US investment grade corporate bonds, at above 5.4 per cent, is the highest to start any year since January of 2009 – which we think helps demand. And while we think corporate confidence and aggression will rise this year, normally a bad thing for credit; this is going to be coming off of a low, conservative starting point. We think that credit spreads will be modestly tighter by mid-year relative to where they finished 2024, and then start to widen modestly in the second half of the year – as the market attempts to price that greater policy uncertainty in 2026. We think that issuers in the Financial and Utilities sectors outperform, and we think bonds between five- and ten-year maturity will do the best.The bear case is that we exit the current period of moderation more quickly. At one end, a deregulatory push by a new administration could usher in an even faster rise in corporate confidence and aggression, leading to more borrowing and riskier dealmaking. At the other extreme, the strong current state of the economy and jobs market could make further gains harder to come by. If the rise in unemployment that our economists expect in 2026 is larger or arrives earlier, credit could start to weaken well ahead of this.So, how could things be better – especially given the relatively low, tight starting point for credit spreads? Well, we'd argue that the current mix of data for credit is border-line ideal: reasonable growth, falling inflation, still-low levels of corporate aggressiveness, and still-high yields that are attracting buyers. Recall that the tightest levels of credit in the modern era, which are still tighter than today, occurred during a period with similar characteristics – the mid-1990s.When thinking about the mid-90s as a bull case, there's a further detail that's relevant and topical, especially this week. At that time, interest rates stayed somewhat high and the Fed only lowered short-term rates modestly because the economy held up. In short, in the best environment that we've seen for credit, less action by the Federal Reserve was fine – so long as the economic data was good.This is a bull-case, rather than our base case, because there are also a number of key differences with the mid 1990s, not the least being a much worse trajectory – today – for the US government's budget. But in a scenario where things change less, and the status quo lasts longer, it could come into play.Thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, leave us a review wherever you listen and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.
