lol, the markets dont trade much on fundamentals anyways
i mean, even if they somehow managed to calculate the precise number to the 0.001% & reported it, why would it matter somehow to ppl aiming to make profits off it, if the market ignores it?
let the govt bureaucrats manage the real economy however they want to
those guys are going to make buy/sell decisions based on flows, esp. the fast money, literally no one truly has patience to "analyze" and wait for price convergence to fundamentals, bc (a) price never converges to fundamentals, (b) more money, more bonuses are made by doing whatever the guy next to you is doing, only better and faster
some instances that point to a pattern over the years:
1) they love squeezing out the weak hands, forcing capitulation, etc. some years ago there was a rumor of how a whale in the local markets was supposedly on the losing side of a short squeeze, and everyone piled on to get a piece of the action, and eventually the whale covered the short by liquidating the entire fund.
2) the freakish volatility in ES, etc in recent weeks are like a vanilla day in local markets, and usually there are absolutely no headlines about the moves either. instead it's coordinated buying and selling from networks
3) at one point the volume of iron futures contracts traded in 1 day exceeded the world annual production. lots of people got rich, lots got their entire net worths erased (with pledged collateral too). there was a meme that circulated sometime ago that showed a hobo next to a tycoon, and the tagline was "before / after he speculated in metals futures" - the price of base metals rose a lot that year
