@M_C_Klein@TheStalwart Tech layoffs have no predictive power for the direction of macro trends. Construction/manufacturing on the other hand offer more insight given their high sensitivity to US cycle
tech as a % of US employment is insignificant, and it’s cyclicality vs US growth is limited too
@BobEUnlimited This seems more like a growth momentum induced rally given the broad rally in cyclical (growth sensitive assets) - CPI print helped of course. It’s also interesting that equities ignored higher policy rates over the last month or more. Seems policy is NOT the marginal driver!

@joefrancis505@steve_donze My guess would be NDX is more tech/growth heavy, hence more rates sensitive - liquidity impacts markets through similar channels as rates
@NickTimiraos What do you make of the
+$11.9 billion from BTFP? It’s half of what was made available. Do you interpret that as less demand from the troubled corners of US banks?
@biancoresearch If the inversion is deeper because the 2Y rises sharply and swiftly (front loaded hiking cycle), it typically means deeper recession, lower inflation and higher unemployment historically.. see https://t.co/u2Juz47GaJ for more
@GordonJohnson19 US equities have actually lagged the most recent rally, it’s cyclicals/value (Europe e.g.) and China exposed names rallying. I think the reason is far simpler, markets expect an imminent pause by the Fed since core inflation is tending lower, and risk sentiment has shot up.
@RichardDias_CFA Not ENTIRELY surprised, given households and small businesses had a month of zero energy costs in December, also headline inflation is coming down, which is what non central bankers focus on. I also sense optimism from China re-opening, especially in export oriented industries!
