Recession Warnings Music to the Ears of Democrats
Rick Moran ~ August 15, 2019
It's the dreaded "inverted Treasury yields" and Chicken Littles in the financial industry are all of a sudden issuing dire warnings of a coming recession.
What in God's name is an "inverted Treasury yield"?
Yields on two-year and 10-year Treasury notes inverted early Wednesday, a market phenomenon that shows investors want more in return for short-term government bonds than they are for long-term bonds.
It's the first time that has happened since the Great Recession and it can be an indication that investors have lost faith in the soundness of the U.S. economy.
Yeah, what he said. I wouldn't know an inverted Treasury yield from a kangaroo -- which makes me economically smarter than just about every liberal in the country. But I know crapola when I hear it.
After a big sell-off by the amateurs -- allowing the pros to make an absolute k*****g in the market -- stocks are stabilizing because ordinary people are still spending like mad.
Wall Street Journal:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 38 points, or 0.2%, stabilizing a day after sliding 800 points--its biggest decline this year. The S&P 500 added 0.4%, and the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.1%.
U.S. shoppers increased their spending in July, the Commerce Department said Thursday, with retail sales, a measure of purchases at stores, restaurants and online, climbing a seasonally adjusted 0.7% from a month earlier.
Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, has remained a pillar of domestic growth, supported by low unemployment and rising incomes.
Recessions are as much about perception as they are about the numbers. If analysts were trying to start a panic with their "inverted Treasury yields," they're going to have to do better than that. Americans are apparently ignoring them as well, as they continue to spend and spend.
CNNBusiness:
Walmart ( WMT), a Dow stock and bellwether of consumer spending, said Thursday sales at its jumbo-size US stores increased 2.8% during its most recent quarter compared with the same period a year ago. Walmart raised its guidance for the remainder of the year, signaling optimism about the strength of its business.
"Our customers' economic health remains solid and our competitive position is strong," Walmart CFO Brett Biggs said in prepared comments Thursday.
Shares of Walmart were up about 5%.
Strong retail sales, low unemployment, low interest rates, low inflation -- what's not to like? If you're a Democrat, the news of an impending recession couldn't be better -- even if it's only wishful thinking.
Some analysts aren't falling for it:
Despite the recent bout of volatility, some analysts and investors still see room for stocks to move higher from here.
“We’re still far away from slipping into a recession that could cause the consumer to retract spending and accelerate a path of economic slowing,” said Terry Sandven, chief equity strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management. “Inflation isn’t problematic, interest rates are low and earnings are growing at a moderate pace, so the backdrop is still favorable for stocks to trend higher.”
There are some worrying signs. The tariffs are really affecting agriculture and manufacturing is down. But as long as Americans keep spending and the Fed keeps interest rates low, the economy should still be growing by the time November 2020 rolls around.

It is very simple. Democrats h**e Trump more than they love America. Economies and the market both go on cycles.

Yes. Bill Maher was the one who said that only recession will remove Trump from the office...And he prays for one..
The press, analysts, and Democrats are hoping the power of the press or subjective predictions in this case will scare the American consumer into spending less and causing a recession. They have forgotten that 90% of the people can’t define recession. They just know they either have a job and money to spend or don’t. Democrats, you know the party of the people actually are hoping for a recession. We shall see how many useful i***ts follow them.

Socialist Europe is declining. I remember L*****ts on OPP saying that Amerika had to follow Europe and China into the New Green Economy. Guess what ? The US is the only place where the economy is growing. Europe keeps dropping interest rates to spur economic growth and it keeps failing.
Money is flowing into the US because this is the only place where it can grow. Socialists all over the freakin World are sending their money into TrumpAmerica. Why ?????????????????????????????
Some economies are actually offering negative interest rates. In other words you pay the bank to hold your money. The U. S. Is the big dog. Our consumers spend four times as much than any other consumer base per person in the world. The tariffs are hurting China’s economy. Unfortunately in a c*******t country the leadership really doesn’t care if the people suffer. They will just blame us. However; when we hurt their economy enough that expenditures on the military and cyber technologies fall we will see the Chinese want to make a deal.

I agree. For the people saying China will just sell their junk, ah I mean goods to other countries they need to remember; Americans are the worlds major consumers. So good luck China. Hope you starve.

Since your author doesn't know what he's talking about--and I suspect neither do you--wouldn't it be better to have found a different thread to start.
Recessions are never something to be excited about and Trump is politically vulnerable even with a growing economy. Continually Conservatives think that Democrats are just like they are. The same economic indicators that they scoffed at under Obama they crow about under Trump. No, Liberals aren't Conservatives. They don't try to gain political advantage over the misery of their fellow citizen...

The thing is, nobody knows who will buckle first. Trump's enemies will capitalize on any economic pain caused by the trade war. The Chinese C*******ts do not have that problem. Which country emerges next year in better shape will tell. China will be in far worse shape, but they do not have to face an e******n like Trump does. We can easily weather the war because we can get almost anything from other countries. However politically it is an open question.
Don’t you listen to liberal commentators or are you to stupid to comprehend what they’ve said. Google it for gosh sakes. It is your side pulling for a recession just like your anti- American ass is.
