This hot number puts the Fed in a corner, they simply cannot cut rates right now. So many investors are expecting the Fed to cut rates, but the best case scenario is that they pause rate increases. The Fed's next meeting is on June 14th. 2. Debt ceiling vote is scheduled for later today. Many Republicans in congress have said that they will not vote yes on this bill so this could be a showdown tonight. You have to love the theatre. 3. Oil is getting pounded again. Crude is now below the psychological $70.00 level. Should the daily chart price close below the early May low I think oil will trade down to $50.00. That would be a multi-year buying opportunity. 4. Gold and Silver trending higher today. Gold is up .5% today. 1940 is support which was tested yesterday. Daily chart levels are holding up. 5. Bitcoin is getting hit today trading down by 3.0%. The daily chart remains weak and signals a decline downto the 25,000 level on Bitcoin futures. The bigger picture is much worse.

Source: https://www.spreaker.com/user/appeal2/nick-496 1.The PCE Price Index rose 0.4% in April following a 0.1% increase in March. The core-PCE Price Index, which excludes food and energy, rose 0.4%. Basically, this was a little hotter than expected. This report has been noted as the Fed's favorite indicator. The bottom line, this now puts a June rate hike back on the table. On Wednesday, we talked about how yields have been climbing recently and this is probably why. 2. NVidia (NVDA was the story of the week after reporting earnings and seeing its stock surge by nearly 25%. This news also helped to lift most other semiconductors higher. So while everyone usually looks to Apple as being the most important tech stock it is now NVDA. The AI craze is running wild. 3. This is the final trading session before the Memorial Day Holiday in the US. Usually, we will see light volume throughout the session as traders often close up shop after the first 2 hours of the day. 4. Gold and silver are catching a bid this morning. Silver is very strong with a 2% surge to start the day. Both gold and silver are trading at daily chart support right now. 5. Bitcoin is upticking a little today, but the daily chart still looks weak. The weekly chart is holding up but does not signal a lot of overall upside. That tells me if it does catch a bid it should not go much further that the recent high before declining again.

Kathleen Day has written a book about the history of financial crises in the US, which have been occurring since the founding of the country. She explains that while deregulation can be beneficial, it must be accompanied by increased oversight to prevent crises. People tend to forget the lessons of the past and take more risks when other people's money is at stake. The reserve requirement is meant to protect against liquidity crises, but if the demand for deposits continues, banks can still become insolvent and taxpayers must pay the price. Kathleen Day discussed the similarities between the financial crisis of the 1980s and the current situation, noting that both had to do with inflation and interest rates. She also discussed the role of the government in regulating banks and the need for stress tests for all size banks. Lastly, she discussed the dangers of moral hazard and the need for banks to be conservative in their investments. kathleenday.com FSN

America just refuses to face reality and that means that the dollar will continue to lose value and more and more money will be tossed into the furnace. Politicians are much more willing to feed the inflation beast than they are to fix the underlying problem of out of control spending. And it's not a matter of parties. It's matter of always taking the easy way out. After all, in current day America, a politician's primary responsibility is to get reelected every 2-4-6 years Until that changes, nothing else will change.

Wolf Richter summarizes that the economy is a mix of different sectors, with some doing well and some struggling. Consumers are still spending, but the banks are facing high interest rates and the commercial real estate sector is facing repurposing and foreclosure. The auto industry is seeing a decline in sales, but Tesla is still doing well. Tesla is shaking up the auto industry by cutting prices and building production capacity in large amounts, forcing legacy automakers to compete on price. This is good for industrial America and consumers, but bad for automakers as sales of internal combustion engine vehicles are at levels not seen since the 1970s. Electric utilities are also benefiting from increased electricity sales. Wolf Richter and Kerry Lutz discussed the current state of the financial system, with Wolf noting that the economy is adjusting to higher interest rates and that banks are struggling with them. They also discussed the possibility of the Federal Reserve cutting rates and the potential impact it would have. Wolf concluded that the economy will muddle through and that it will be many more years before autonomous driving is widely available. Visit Wolf's site: https://wolfstreet.com
