Seems like the main politics thread is becoming a Yankee-Doodle Trump-fest, so maybe scope here to split them out.

Will see if this one gains any traction ..if it does will move over a few of the million posts from our two protagonists from the other thread.

Yee-haaa!

Another is the (COT) commitment of traders report it measures open interest in the futures market. Tells you where the big money is at. 

Another indicator is demand for MBS market, Demand is up suggesting lower rates for the US 10 yr.
Why does this matter, The 10 year is the proxy for the mortgage rates because the MBS market tracks the 10 year. The MBS market has higher risk than the bond market so has higher yields, so it is an indicator of risk on. People are now looking for yield not security. Meaning Investors see lower rates ahead in Bonds and growth in the economy.

Don't forget Rent.....   The important stuff shows up in the headline, get it right.

I showed you the YoY growth for ‘shelter’
+3% YoY

And I showed you that the current reports show rents dropping and more importantly they are expected to continue to drop. As I keep trying to explain to a simpleton, it's all about what lies ahead. When are you gonna catch a clue?

 

Let me help you out a little because you obviously have no idea what data matters.

Here is a key component for market strategists. Check out the chart.

I prefer to listen to Steve Liesman, I find you have no credibility in such matters.

Hope that helps!
