from JP Morgan ( or,, you can just say Bidenonmics ) What's happening? Markets are trading with a risk-off sentiment following last week's jobs report. The report showed a significant weakening in the labor market and investors are now grappling with two major questions: Is the recent economic weakness a shallow descent into a soft landing or a downward spiral toward recession? If it’s the latter, are rate cuts too little, too late? How is the market reacting? In traditional risk-off fashion, equities are down (especially tech and growth), and Treasury yields are lower as of 9:40 a.m. ET. Equities are lower across the U.S., Europe and Asia Japan (a relatively more cyclical and consumer-driven economy) closed -12%, in its worst single-day performance since 2008. Euro Stoxx 50 -2.8% The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) (a standard measure of equity market volatility) has doubled since Friday. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 have both opened -4% lower. The Magnificent 7 (-9%) is having its worst intraday drop since 2015. Rates across the curve are lower The two-year (3.75%) is at its lowest level in a year, and down 34 basis points since Friday's open. Futures markets are pricing in 130 basis points of cuts (up from 70 basis points on Thursday's open). What's behind the moves? The U.S. labor market report on Friday, August 2 was softer across the board. Market participants, in particular, focused on the increase in the unemployment rate to 4.3%. The expectation was 4.1%, and it's now up from a cycle low of 3.4%. There is an indicator called the Sahm rule, which suggests that recessions typically follow these types of increases in the unemployment rate, garnering focus around the market. Further, other soft U.S. data, such as the recent Institute for Supply Management (ISM) print (manufacturing index came in at 46.8 versus 48.8 expected on August 1), is contributing to fears of a growth slowdown. Japanese and other international markets today are playing a degree of "catch-up" to the decline in U.S. markets on Friday. The Federal Reserve had a rate announcement just before the above, where rates were kept on hold, which has resulted in a fairly market-wide belief that the Fed is now "behind the curve" on cutting interest rates. The market has swiftly moved to price in a 50-basis-point cut instead of 25 basis points in its September meeting, with chatter of a potential intra-meeting cut. The yen was a great funding source all year. Rates were lowest in the world and it just kept getting cheaper and cheaper. But that has reversed rapidly. The Bank of Japan is now tightening and the yen has strengthened rapidly. This catalyzed "carry trade" unwinds as leveraged investors liquidate their global risk asset positions (Topix -12% last night, Nasdaq now down over 10% from peak, VIX up to 50). A bit secondary from a market standpoint, but also important, is the geopolitical concern of a potential attack on Israel by Iran, which U.S. intelligence evidently believes to be imminent. What does this mean for portfolios? It means that volatility is back. It can feel uncomfortable for investors when the risk pendulum swings rapidly from sticky inflation to an impending recession. The average year that ends with a gain comes with an 11% peak to trough decline. We are currently approximately 8% below all-time highs. The Sahm Rule may be the latest "fool proof" recession indicator to be a false positive (after the Leading Economic Indicators [LEIs], the ISM surveys and the yield curve).

or a cackling flip flopping Jamaican / Southern Asian who now pretends to be black

? what is the problem ? evrybody knows exactly ( or who) what goes down on Soi 6 A family man would not walk his wife and kids down there.. or Soi Buakhao or Bindtabaht in Hua Hin

I'll apologize in advance .. I know,, IN BAD TASTE .. ( very bad ) ... maybe he was taking a crash course so he could teach at Huffman

having grown up in a melting pot.. NYC I find it easy to pull words out of peoples mouths and fill in the blanks to understnd what they are trying to say .. In reverse , that is not a common trait here ... here in our village, I can walk into most shops or food stalls and get what I want with my basic Thai .. there's a lot of flip flop with the L & R pronunciation .. I here them speaking with each other and the "Roi becomes Loi" ( as an example ) but when they address me it becomes very "Rrrrrroi" you can tell they are making a concerted effort to rise to the occasion .... I hit them back with the "Loi" version, and it kind of breaks the ice on the same hand, if i go anywhere with my wife, I get the deer in the headlights reaction and they go right to her for the " WTF did he say ? I go to my local favorite coffee shop. and the owners speak perfect english, it's usually one of the daughters and another young lady at the counter/register The daughter knows what to expect and the other young lady will go full panic and try to give me the price in english.. I give her the blank stare and the daughter will tell her to speak Thai. . instant pressure release .. I then repeat her price in Thai and then in English follwed by a "very good" to boost her confidence.. it's a cat and mouse game most times. We won't even go into the Issan speaking .. thet's when I look at my wife and giver her the WTF did she just say ?

Use the janitors closet to get changed. The you can wash your confused nutz in the slop sing with the dirty mop
