EURJPY: The cross closed on a rejection candle after a failed intra day attempts on the upside. We now look for EURJPY to decline further. This view remains valid as long as it holds and trades below the 135.71/136.33 zone. Resistance is seen at the 135.50 level where a break will turn attention to the […]
One True Measure Of Stagnation: Not In The Labor Force

One True Measure Of Stagnation: Not In The Labor Force

This is a stark depiction of underlying stagnation: paid work is not being created as population expands.

Failure To Launch

Failure To Launch

The popular belief that the U.S. economy has been steadily recovering has endured months of disappointing data without losing much of its appeal. A deep bench of excuses, ranging from the weather to the Chinese economy, has been called on to justify why the economy hasn’t built up any noticeable steam, and why the Fed […]
