It happens regularly. Again, the important issue isn’t the reaction of stock market day to day it was that inflation is ticking back up. I can post another article that doesn’t highlight the stock market reaction if you like with the same information regarding inflation indicators. How about...oh i dont know, try thinking for yourself? My goodness its frightening that i have to say this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, for four years they were oblivious, to the point of outright denial.....so this is rather refreshing to see them actually give two focks about inflation and how it can harm.

Im still curious why you said "tumbling" when the premarket was down 1%. Now about a half percent. 1% isnt tumbling by any reasonable persons definition. Your answer was basically "thats what the media said" And fock if that isnt just the dumbest answer ever and a clear sign you, and others, wholly rely on the media to tell you what to think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thegeneral 3,214 Posted February 12 5 minutes ago, supermike80 said: Soooo. The market isnt "tumbling?" Good grief. Here’s another article for you. If you see “stock market” please skip over that part so you don’t shet your pants Link U.S. inflation rose to 3 percent in January, strengthening the case for the Federal Reserve to extend a pause on interest rate cuts. The Consumer Price Index jumped more than expected, data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed on Wednesday, rising 0.5 percent from December in what was the fastest monthly increase since August 2023. Last month, the annual pace was 2.9 percent. “Core” C.P.I., which more closely reflects underlying inflation by removing volatile food and energy prices, also showed little improvement. It rose 0.4 percent from December or 3.3 percent on a year-over-year basis, both higher than economists expected. The monthly increase in core prices was the highest since April 2023.

It has been discussed over hundreds of threads. It was correctly the most importantly topic of the election. You are kidding yourself if you think Trump admin is going to take any blame ever or not have moments that people latch onto like the infamous “transitory” line.

edjr 6,592 Posted February 12 So Biden did NOTHING to help America and prices on everything went up. I paid more for 2 years, maybe more. Trump is fixing the gubment. I will happily pay more for 6 months, even longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
