I think there is a 10% possible move higher in 6 months easily just from low interest rate environment, regardless of fundamentals. Negative interest rates boost for stock prices. $VEU #ExUS https://t.co/HALw22r5kQ

Over $20B changed hands in $/ES futures contracts on that 5 minute flush down around 9am CT today after #ISM release. Probably a reversal flush out IMO. Would like to see close above $2930 in ESZ9 before complete reversal back up.

The Great Conundrum! Inverted Yield Curve: Forget about the 2-10 spread. How about stock dividends yielding more than 30-year interest rates. https://t.co/u71ArThPqb

Bought $GLD today even though it’s up big already. @realDonaldTrump calling Fed to lower rates only means trade war not ending anytime soon and #Fed will need to print their way out of not having a recession.

So are Fed wires going away with this? Sounds like check-writing days are over. Everything paid Venmo style now. Hope they force banks to make this system available on everyone’s banking system. https://t.co/xsBx9pjotn

Being labeled as “currency manipulator “ those being effected by Chinese tariffs can now apply for US government subsidies I believe. But, the uncertainty about how to conduct trade in China has thrown markets in a tizzy. panic spike occurred last night with futures.

Trade War Call to Action; Explained by Equity Armor Investments CEO, Luke Rahbari

Our CEO, Luke Rahbari at the end of 2017, beginning of 2018 after returning from a trip to India and Hong Kong said on FBN that he thought relations & conflicts with China are going to be the biggest news story for the year. EAI has consistently said that there is plenty of oil in the world and production costs are keeping oil prices at these levels, not global demand. Now with a weaker global growth outlook, oil is being punished further. Luke Rahbari has been consistent that with every meeting and headline, that there will be no deal reached with the Chinese on traffic or trade (FBN, Angela Miles).
