Inflation rate hits 2.8% YoY. That’s less than expected. Given the numbers, the market is expecting to cut 3 times this year

Tariffs create a no-win situation by simultaneously slowing growth AND increasing prices. Put simply, the Fed cannot counter these effects without either worsening inflation or further dampening economic growth. This leaves us facing a troubling scenario: 1. If the Fed reduces its balance sheet by letting bonds mature without replacement or selling Treasuries/securities, this tightens financial conditions when the economy is already vulnerable. 2. If the Fed raises the federal funds rate, borrowing costs increase across the board, potentially crushing growth when the economy is already decelerating. Regardless of which path is chosen, increased market volatility seems inevitable. Crypto may actually become relatively more stable, and with inflation, crypto prices rise accordingly..

People whine about corporatism like it’s new. It’s been cycling in and out since the Catholic Church backed medieval guilds in the eleventh century. The trick isn’t fighting it—it’s riding the waves.

Crypto will make the return of corporatism far more financially inclusive than in previous iterations.

Major averages like S&P 500 and Dow Jones are finally hitting correction territory down 8% (lol). Reminder to not catch the knife here - tariffs seem to be ramping up, not down with Canada and Mexico - unemployment ramping with DOGE cuts to gov't jobs - drop in consumer spending

Trump seems to be speedrunning the nineteen months of turbulence that led up to the Reaganomic boom of the eighties.
