  • US retail sales fell 1% in March as winter spending burst loses steam

    From usatoday.com

    Retail sales slowed sharply in March, underscoring that Americans’ wherewithal to spend is waning after a weather-induced buying spree early in the year. Sales fell 1%, more than the 0.4% decline economists expected. Excluding volatile autos and gasoline, sales declined 0.3%. Consumer spending was solid in January and February but economists traced the performance to unusually warm weather that boosted retail and restaurant revenue along with travel. Retail sales slowed in late 2022 and many economists expect that trend to resume as inflation, rapidly rising interest rates and stricter bank lending standards after ... (full story)

Fake media that makes people love each other better than real media that makes people fight and kill each other, right?
It might be wise to wait for another hour (Prelim UoM) to see if the MM's have merely opened up a gap for their favoured moves.

Consumer has been busted.
Fed continues to propose that it can run a dual monetary policy. Bailing out banks bad behavior which is pure inflation creation, whilst restricting worker earnings growth coupled with credit control in order to reign in inflation.

This lunacy is bound to cause a retraction in GDP and consequent flight to safe haven.
Driving with a foot on both Gas and Brake burns out engine and the brakes.

The economy is destabilized by a stop and go approach every few months as has been the case for past several years.

Fed has a Bipolar disorder also known as Manic Depressive.

add: Just read what Waller states. Intellectually there is a way to justify any course of action. That however does not make it not have adverse economic impacts.
