The Dollar is having a moment. It's up almost 2% so far this month and there's an important lesson in that. Markets don't care about tariff headlines unless they're about China. Everyone else is just along for the ride. I wrote about this over the weekend.

Buffett on reading financials:
"That’s something we’ve never really talked about publicly, but I actually spend more time looking at balance sheets than income statements. Wall Street often focuses on income statements, but I like to study balance sheets — ideally over an 8 to 10-year period — before I even glance at the income statement. You can’t hide as much on the balance sheet. It's harder to manipulate than earnings figures"
@Holm5Holm Vel altså, når man ser tilbake på det så kuttet jo faktisk FED med 50 basispunkter i september 2024 når inflasjon var økende. Teorier er at de ønsket Biden gjenvalgt. Sier meg ikke enig, men var ett overraskende trekk fra FED.
BESSENT: "NORMAL DELEVERAGING IN BOND MARKET, NOTHING SYSTEMIC"
This reminds me of what Mnuchin did over Christmas in 2018.
"Liquidity is fine. I just called the banks to check."
Whenever someone publicly tries to calm things down, it usually means there’s actually a problem.
Never believe anything until it has been officially denied.
Remember when the Fed cuts a jumbo 50bps in Sept 2024 (2 months before the election) to keep Biden in power? Well, that was the bottom of the housing market: home prices are up every month since. Thanks Powell for yet another housing bubble.
$SPY alright this is nuts. Since 1993 the S&P is up ~1100% in pre-market/after-hours, but it’s nearly flat during regular trading hours LOOL
