  • Consumer Price Index - April 2023

    From bls.gov

    The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) rose 0.4 percent in April on a seasonally adjusted basis, after increasing 0.1 percent in March, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 4.9 percent before seasonal adjustment. The index for shelter was the largest contributor to the monthly all items increase, followed by increases in the index for used cars and trucks and the index for gasoline. The increase in the gasoline index more than offset declines in other energy component indexes, and the energy index rose 0.6 percent in April. The ... (full story)

  • Inflation rose 4.9% in April from a year ago, less than expectations

    From cnbc.com

    A widely followed measure of inflation rose in April, despite more than a year’s worth of Federal Reserve interest rate increases. The consumer price index, which measures the cost of a broad swath of goods and services, increased 0.4% for the month, in line with the Dow Jones estimate. However, that equated to an annual increase of 4.9%, slightly less than the 5% estimate. Excluding volatile food and energy categories, core CPI rose 0.4% and 5.5% from a year ago both in line with expectations. Increases in shelter, gasoline and used vehicles pushed the index higher, and were offset somewhat by declines in prices ... (full story)

Wow . Real interest rate is higher than cpi. That's good for USD

The candle's reaction to this news makes no sense to me.
Me neither. I don't understand.
A 0.1% drop in inflation is clearly not going to have the FED saying, 'okay guys, job done, let's cut.' so why is the market reacting as it is? Holding is one thing, but they will not cut rates with that kind of data.
What's is really happening to this candle is really frustrating
Sticky Inflation Data....Very Sticky. Probably one more Rate Hike
Beside YoY that went that, overall rate MoM is still up.

Then the estimates has something to do with the reaction, if the estimates have been lower, then result would have been USD positive.

No pair had big moves, so there will be reversals most likely
Sell the rip, liquidity grabs it seems, the inflation data was in line, and MoM rose from 0.1% to 0.4%, potentially sticky inflation/stagflation. Interesting to see how the next 4 hour candles close on major pairs.
Incredibly great news for the economy. Inflation is at a 25 month low

It’s gambling if you don’t know how to trade. I hopped in 3 minutes before hand and had a great stop loss. Only risk what you’re willing to lose friend

Been trading and studying CPI for MONTHS, and I called this out to my community right before the news drop.

I get paid to trade and teach news analysis. Instead of trying to downplay my results, you should instead ask how it was done. Always remain humble in the markets. The time and money invested to get here was well worth it.

"Only risk what you are willing to lose" - that tells me everything.

Studying CPI? You can study all you want, you are predicting the news, so unless you work for the government, which you don't, it's guesswork.

I don't down play your 'results' nor how it's done, you gambled and you got it right this time. Also, I could do the same print screen of my demo account. Your Margin / Risk / Reward ratio is off, and if you teaching people this, then you are definitely praying on poor people blow up their accounts.

results > arguments .....right?
My dear friends, me I am still blank in reading these news, i still cannot analyse the news, and it's has lead to my bankruptcy today? Would someone kindly show me how it is done.
If a person does not understand money, then you cannot understand "news". Most people are just dumb speculators who are too stubborn to admit that there MIGHT BE something more real to the idea of CPI. Hint hint. You cannot realistically justify one news idea with another inline with market movement. THAT is speculating. That is dumb sense. If you do not READ news properly then you are being "fed" the components of "what is going on". So silly talk by people just shows you know little about money. No I'm not being "cryptic" .... another fad thing to say when people have no clue about real life. You're all reaching for low hanging fruit. Lazy and convenient thinking.

Eg - "CPI Rose 0.4%" - OF what? For whom? For what? Why? Why not another form of delivery of information? Where? For what real outcome? What was happening 12 months prior to this? What is inflation inline with the context of CPI??? What have YOU the normal person learned from these proceedings re: CPI?

So as I said, at its heart, is money. Always money and people. What money really is. What it's worth to one person and why?

So dinky little "arguments" for me, only shows you people know nothing about much at all IF you're arguing over trivial things.

3 "news" stories above. Trading "news" is for dinky traders. I think people should take a year or two off "trading" and go learn something more real about the world you live in. For me you're proving you really don't understand these things.

Peter
Real Trading is not gambling.
Understanding these things is far more important than dinky results. But if that's all that is important to you then you should probably just bend over the barrel right now. You're trapped. Tracking the markets properly is far more valuable than 1 isolated result.

Peter
Real Trading is not gambling.
Trading on "news" to me, is akin to "paper trading" the imagined life blood of an economy. It's as "real" as you, you cute little person, are willing to believe it is. It reminds me of these people who are into the "fantasy football" stuff. It's so cute and hilarious and rather disturbing all at once.

So ..... you can either react like some dumb kid here, or, have a think about this and ask why someone like me is saying these things..... beyond the first dumb thought that enters the brain of "he's picking on me" etc etc. Is it possible/probable that it's for another reason?

I love it when an opportunity presents itself.

Peter

That's why I laugh at these sites. I think they're so fuuunny and cute, but I would NEVER EVER take them seriously EVER. Nor their "information". It's a social trader's wet dream. But if you're a real person with real monies and accounts, you reeeeeeally neeeed something with more bite off the bone. Know what I mean?? Something with more "reality bite" hihihihihihi. Anyway learn or don't learn. Choose now or have to make the choice later ..... it's aaaall the same.

Whoever you are, you're a classroom trader. All one has to do is go look at your input on this site since you got here. You're a table-n-chair "trader. Nothing better. I know several real life people who are real traders of time and money but there's no point in repeating what they've said as no one would believe it anyway. The posturing toward some things on this site PROVES the "so-called" experienced traders around here know little or nothing about real world brick n mortar things that make and keep everything going in your cute little society. THAT is why I laugh. People who follow "figures" are classroom traders. People who know what builds a house or highway, don't seek attention or glory. People like that leave it to the "people" on sites like this. THAT is real life. So I'm not interested in what talking heads say, nor what fools on some site about me. If a building is to be built it needs materials. I think you're just pissed that you cannot understand Life beyond your table n chair view. So suck it up boy.

I was merely demonstrating for anyone with grey matter that still works, what is actually involved BEFORE all your "pretty" figures and "news". Only a dickhead follows figures but doesn't understand what goes on in the real world. So you say you've worked in finance/business etc etc etc, yet you have shown many times you are a desk jockey, nothing more. You don't even understand the basic nature and flow of money.

AAAAHHHH ... perhaps you're one of these turds who "advises" government departments or companies. "I'm a consultant." Hihihi.... gimme a break jack !

I simply enjoy having fun and taking opportunities to show anyone who is willing to think and consider, beyond you nimrods who think you're the "gatekeepers" of heresay knowledge on said sites. A classic case of dickhead. So really I'm merely balancing up the "discord" hehehehe. Real vs "conventional bullshit" that's great in college, or office talk, or in your "home office" BUUUUT leaves A LOT to be desired when you have to look at things beyond a piece of paper. So I pity you, poor deary. SO ... either grow up and really learn something OR, remain right where you are. I know which I'd choooose !! Hihihi. You're done sparky.

Ever heard the idea ..... "Buy the rumor sell the fact" ??? It's for chumps who cannot be bothered to do any real research to learn what goes on.

So my posts won't be helpful to nimrods as you think you already "have a god bead on things". Hihihihihi.

The thing I love is that inflation is not based on man's calculations. It is based on the idea that you can track human prospects. From the top tiers of society right down to the muddy earth, where it is assumed to be the place where "poor people" congregate, IF you look at real cold hard facts, it is based out of real hard-to-the-touch living, not some lofty economist's idea of the level of incomings-outgoings. Of course pseudo intellectuals like to dismiss this but truthfully, there's only so much BS you can pile on top of figures and information.

Try looking at the history of inflation deary, instead of trying to make believe that you are smarter than I. Pseudo worldly people don't impress me at all. You're still running with the idea that what you learned at school is real. Your own "people" have made a glorious mess out of things over the last 3 millenia, trying to introduce economic prowess instead of working the real elements and issues. But I say these things because I have no respect at all for delineated stupidity and false intelligence.

Inflation is one of the many see-saws that must continue to play the hot potato game in your society. Why? Because the system is systemically unstable and HAS BEEN for centuries. You would know this if you actually studied and learned some things that aren't in your textbooks.

You'd have to be a fool to go along with the 'Key-nesian vs classical' debate or even pick a side in such a discussion. Both are set in record as inept in their deep understanding of true vs false society .... hence the reason why you people argue over these silly topics etc.

You see GEFX, while you people fill your heads with neo-political "economic models/information/education", people like me choose to look at what's actually there. To me, there's no point in wiping your finger over a dirty dusty old table top and calling that grime ..... "knowledge". And as I said to another yesterday in a private conversation ... in a specific context, it always comes down to 3 things - The Flow of = People, Cost, Debt. So why would I merely go and regurgitate silly unstable "info/knowledge" about economic foundlings such as inflation, deflation etc. Anyone can rattle off what google tells us. That's not real knowledge.

The difference between me and you is simple - I look at what is, then seek solutions. I don't parade around in my life as if I know something that others do not. If I were, I wouldn't share anything I know.

SO ...... for someone reading this .... get past these silly jerks who can only spout the usual information that's in their heads because they have no will power to learn anything.

As someone who looks at inflation by sector, don't bother knocking on my door til it moves at least 10% beyond its usual characteristics in a single month. Why? If you don't use real framework then you just sit there having silly intellectual circular conversations with idiots on a website. If it's per industry average, show me the top tier leaders and then average THAT and compare that to the previous y/y's most prominent averages as a range. See GE ..... either you're a fanny/flopsy or ..... you actually know something real that does something. It's really quite simple once you get past these dickheads who think they're god's gift to society and websites.

I work with the real world, so I don't have any interest in info banter. If I'm looking at deflation I want to know who the recipients OF that deflationary movement will likely be....... AKA "Who will benefit most from it". Why? Again - The Flow of People, Money and Debt. Everything else is just a distraction to pat everyone on the back for a "job well done".

These are just simple examples. It gets more complicated when you want to project years in advance as with say Treasuries or IPO's.

So dear GEFX, as I said, you're out of your league. I DELIBERATELY do not use old or new "economic theories" because they are fundamentally flawed, systemically unwell and the best they can offer is "the promise of a better tomorrow" ..... there's nothing real about them really at all. So If I was to look at the 3 headlined topics above in proper detail, I don't care what the article says. I want real details. And you cannot do that if you only chomp around the edges.

So as I said - People. Money Flow. Debt Flow. You have no "society" without people. You have no commerce and industry without people, monies and 'assurance, insurance, reassurances'. And you have no Debting UNLESS you have people, monies and labor. It's where you get forward processing (Futures - ever heard of it?) from as well as collaborations and partnerships. So you see, all the silly talk amounts to little.

And so, once again, I wrote this not for the true dickheads online or out in the world, but to give normal people a place to start so you can push aside the wankers who want you to believe the status quo but never really learn anything and/or the idiots who want you to think they're so wonderful OR the fake helpers. Oh sure they'll slander and spit but they can't undo what is written here.

So I'll say again GE, who frickin' cares what you think you know or understand boy. People like you will never learn, you simply have the wrong default setting in your attitude.

I come at everything VERY differently to you people. So .... you ..... and "Aussi" (whoever that is, not that I'm impressed or care) and others who are so bedazzled by "worldly economics" etc, can keep playing the little games and bit by bit normal people will grow out of you and hopefully, eventually, people like you two will have no one to feed off.

People like me just aren't impressed by people like you two. You're still addicted to and in love with this society's ideas. You've yet to grow out of it. See the difference yet? MMmmm probably not. But maybe tomorrow.

Have fun

In conclusion, Peter, you know nothing about inflation. You know nothing about economics. Based on your comments, you and your muddled thoughts exist outside of society, in something you call the real world. In your addled brain, you live in the real-world-outside-of-society, and you've created a persona where you're a deep thinking, wise, experienced person who can sit in judgement of everyone else's "thinking".

The advantage I have ..... I've never wanted to be "one of you" who want to/are open to invite OPM's (Other people's mentalities) into my skull. I have no interest in "blending". For me this is not one of those moments of "I'm better than you". So there's no issues or conflict with superiority. I simply do not practice the unhealthy ritual of self repression. From what you think is going on here, you seem to think I care what some nobody thinks of me on some discussion board. Deary the world is FULL of people. The difference between you and me is simple .... I just don't see the point in wasting time and energy "talking shop". So for people like you who seem to think that "so much of this info stuff is important" in the larger scheme of things, I say this -- grow up. Try moving beyond. Your problem is going to be this - you think someone like me is backwards. But you ignore the possibility that I've already been where you are. I was dissatisfied so I delved deeper. Along with my own upbringing and training, I am now free to think as I please, unlike you ... clearly. So only a fool "scans" details and skips to the end of the story just so they can judge what they have no understanding of in the first place. It is your idea of reality and 'human society' that is under fire friend, not mine.

It's simply a matter of being in the box or not seeing the box at all. So until you've lived on both sides of "the fence line" I'd say you have a lot to learn. Therefore nothing evaporates and nothing has changed. You get off on "talking shop", meanwhile, someone like me just shakes my head. Why? I'm interested in definable directions in Life ... NOT results. Chasing results is folly. Therefore you will always be lagging in the foreground of the situation.

You seem to think I'm like you. I feel sorry for you.

Learn or Don't Learn.

Good luck.

The advantage I have ..... I've never wanted to be "one of you" who want to/are open to invite OPM's (Other people's mentalities) into my skull. I have no interest in "blending". For me this is not one of those moments of "I'm better than you". So there's no issues or conflict with superiority. I simply do not practice the unhealthy ritual of self repression. From what you think is going on here, you seem to think I care what some nobody thinks of me on some discussion board. Deary the world is FULL of people. The difference...
Peter, I don't think you are backwards. I've never said that. I think you are a low voltage thinker, because you prove, with every post, that you are unintellegent. You can't string together two coherent sentences. You ramble on with unstructured stream of consciousness. It's pathetic. The more you type the less you say. You know nothing about business, economics, trading, international affairs, pick-any-topic. You are a vacuous imbecile. I'm still laughing about your deep thoughts on time compressions. But, it's a public site, and you are free to put your persona on full display. A fake persona. A liar's persona.
You cannot discredit what's beyond your understanding. I don't communicate the way you're comfortable with .... that is all. So I don't ramble or rant or lecture or play pretend games. Once again, just because you say so doesn't make it so. Whoever you are means nothing. Wherever you're from means nothing. Your background means nothing. Your level of education means less than nothing. Your wealth means nothing. Your apparent knowledge means nothing. See where I'm going with this? If we met in person, with all your attempts to impress or bedazzle or stand over me, I would still be left wanting and would not be afraid or intimidated or in awe.

What I do is simply mix things up and so I have the beautiful position of placing you at the bottom of the rung, FIRSTLY, because YOU put yourself there. Next because you think this is a "spitting match" or some game or time waster. Therefore "being deep thinking" has nothing to do with it. And never did. The things you find offensive or false, based on nothing real of course, are a great window. The problem you face is this - you cannot prove or disprove what I am or who I am. You can only summise or poke and prod and try to dig.

You have nothing in the way of real life. Additionally, all the things I speak about are real and true and verifiable if a person chooses to investigate for themselves, independent of silly nobody's online. You remind me of the guy who "is friends with Tony 'The Main Man'" and thinks that Tony's credibility and reputation spills over to you. Like I said, you have no leg to stand on. You're out of your league. That's not a boast it's a simple and calm fact.

The main point here is this - nothing at all that you are or do, has any effect on certain things. Either you're a real person out in the world and so, you are without. You understand this idea right? It means you are empty, soulless, bereft of something deeper. Here I am talking to the real person behind the keyboard. Of course if you are a true sociopath, then you won't feel anything anyway and make no connection to this point.

Or, you are made by someone and then, you are still without. If you are a real person in the flesh then I pity you. If you are a thing, then you are still without but my pity would be wasted.

So, being the "internet" I don't mind either way. But conventional wisdom is for lazy loafers and sods who just need to "fit in" and are really just deeply afraid of reality.

If you are a real person, you know nothing about communication but you think you do. You're probably somewhat well educated but your fatal flaw is believing you can't be bested or "believe" you can do it pretty well "online". So every time you retort is just another opportunity for me IF I choose to play.

"A fool who continues with their folly shall eventually know wisdom" .... yes a nice sentiment but so is "follow the leader".

So getting off this website would only confirm for me what I already see. I suppose the difference would be that you need a suit money watch and car to hide behind. I do not. You need a PHD and the "right job". I do not. You need to feel empowered and "strong". I do not. You need to feel like a winner. I do not. Nothing that you are or have in the real world is big enough for you to hide behind. If you are a person in the world, then you are just a mere person and have much to learn.

It's truthfully genuinely clear to me that you are a "schooled individual" and I say that with a grain of respect but that is all.

However ...... Trying to teach you something would be similar to saying to the kid who always wants to lick the frozen pole ..... "Stop doing that" then seeing them make that same silly face while they stare at you sideways.

So for my part there's no lies. There's just me inputting. If you are a real person, you have lost before you started. If you think me wasting my time writing on this site think again. Not everyone is a trifle thinker.

If you are in fact a real person you are a disappointment. That's not meant to be hurtful but to offer you a chance to rethink things.

The hilarious thing about your type of person is, only a person with the weakest (will) will ever listen to you, so there's no helping them anyway at this point.

Yes yes you think this dribble. But I'm not looking for your tick of approval. I''ll leave that to your poor unfortunate children and family who have to deal with you.

The problem with this world now, there are far too many people like you.

And so because I have no interest in writing a book etc, I'll leave it there.

If you continue the banter then I would say your "education" was a waste of money and time. You have "lost" on all fronts. Maybe time to learn something.

Cheerio.

But to understand this area properly you need to stop obsessing over information and think concept first, then form and information last.

And then, when you're finished with those, have a read of this

And again literal thinkers beware, you may have to THINK it through, rather than just blindly accept the surface layer of value.

{quote} "Only risk what you are willing to lose" - that tells me everything. Studying CPI? You can study all you want, you are predicting the news, so unless you work for the government, which you don't, it's guesswork. I don't down play your 'results' nor how it's done, you gambled and you got it right this time. Also, I could do the same print screen of my demo account. Your Margin / Risk / Reward ratio is off, and if you teaching people this, then you are definitely praying on poor people blow up their accounts.
Let's not pretend that we matter, we are here to analyze and participate market(s) not to entertain our flaws as traders and much less to flex our reward. You clearly understand what you're doing don't let this fellow trader slow you down with his ability to flex.

If a person does not understand money, then you cannot understand "news". Most people are just dumb speculators who are too stubborn to admit that there MIGHT BE something more real to the idea of CPI. Hint hint. You cannot realistically justify one news idea with another inline with market movement. THAT is speculating. That is dumb sense. If you do not READ news properly then you are being "fed" the components of "what is going on". So silly talk by people just shows you know little about money. No I'm not being "cryptic"...
You are a douche, Peter. You are out here putting everyone who is interested in participating in these markets down. I bet you aren't even that efficient when it comes to an analysis. Let's actually trade and analyze the market. Although it helps to be able and digest data, it has absolutely nothing to do with a solid market analysis. You're a scrub and I hope you don't discourage any more individuals from potentially embarking on a life changing adventure. You bitch!
