    Inflation, Deflation, Stagflation...

    I certainly wouldn't call it unlimited. Even if it's alot, it's still limited and measurable. Personal incomes took a quick shot up during first stimulus. Then they receded to normal levels. Now they will shoot back up with the extra stimulus before returning to normal. There is still high...

    Yep the fed reassuring wallstreet as usual

    I can buy more computing power than was on Apollo 11 for like $150.

    Yep the fed reassuring wallstreet as usual

    Durable goods are included in Core PCE. Are you including food and energy costs in necessities? Cause those don't count for Core PCE. They are volatile in nature and thus not a good measure of inflation.

    Inflation, Deflation, Stagflation...

    They aren't printing unlimited money. It seems like the phrasing of your question is leading you to the answers that you want. I would say a brief spike above 2%. Followed by raising of rates.

    Yep the fed reassuring wallstreet as usual

    The reversal in outlook on the USD started with a killer jobs report on last NFP day. I think it makes more sense to look at MoM inflation rather than YoY for now. Looking at YoY could cause things to get skewed with all the corona weirdness when the pandemic was new.

    Yep the fed reassuring wallstreet as usual

    If the Federal Reserve was being dishonest with their numbers, that would be a bigger scandal than Enron and Theranos combined times a million. The audacity of such a claim is ridiculous to me. And to say it with such certainty.

    Yep the fed reassuring wallstreet as usual

    I'll tell you what I'm waiting for... One more real good piece of news supporting a bullish USD bet. There's a lot of pent up demand. What is your opinion on what's causing US Treasury yields to rise?

    How are you claiming to have insider information like this?

    Yep the fed reassuring wallstreet as usual

    Hate to spoil your conspiracy party... But the Fed doesn't give a sh1t about stock prices. It cares about full employment (which we're not at) and aiming for 2% inflation. Now go ahead and call me stupid and pretend you know it all....

    I'm in disbelief about USD

    I sold my eur/usd's at 1.18797 today. Profit of $801. This means my original $10k account is now $10,116. So I'm in positive territory even after the few margin calls I had to make. I re-opened eur/usd (sell) at 1.19016 and still have a usd/chf that are open. My TP on my new EUR/USD is 1.18500

    I'm in disbelief about USD

    Eur/USD. But you can see the pattern in most of the dollar pairs. It gained back most of what it lost in less than 24 hours

    I'm in disbelief about USD

    When I say "margin call" I mean that I have to shed the smallest increment that I can (0.1 lot) that will free up $300 each time. I don't mean liquidating my entire positions. It's 50:1.

    Inflation Play?

    I was just about to start a similar thread.... For some reason things are seeming counterintuitive. Like if Core inflation picks up, that the USD will be stronger.

    I'm in disbelief about USD

    It's been tanking for quite a while for that reason. I believe things are starting to turn around. They still have negative interest rates in other parts of the world.

    I'm in disbelief about USD

    So I bought bullish positions in USD about 2 weeks ago after a strong jobs report and rising bond rates. After the Fed meeting yesterday, USD tanked and I thought I would have another margin call. Here we are just 16 hours after the Fed announcement... And USD has returned to previous levels. It...

    Wednesday fed meeting strategy.... got ideas?

    So after the Fed meeting, the EUR/USD went up and tested its March 11-12 high of 1.199. It almost touched it, but now it's back down. I was feeling like I lost yesterday (I'm bullish USD) but now feeling pretty good if the USD can take a beating like yesterday and still not rise above those...
