In early December when the markets were hitting new high, contrarian forecaster David Hunter predicted that the SP500 would soon correct by 10%. And that’s exactly what has happened this month, with his downside target of 4300 getting hit in Monday’s washout. He now expects the mother of all meltups to follow over the next several months raising the SP500 index all the way to 6000...to then be immediately followed by an 80% market correction. Bold calls for sure. Will the prove correct the way t...

With inflation now at a 40 year high, all eyes on the Federal Reserve. Will they be able to tame today's hot inflation with higher interest rates?

We've all seen energy prices skyrocket over the past year -- for the oil and natural gas that heat our homes, the electricity we use, and the gasoline we put in our cars. And certain parts of the world have been concerned about simply getting "enough" energy -- at whatever the price -- to see them through the winter. Why did energy suddenly become so in demand, and how did it get so expensive so quickly? How soon until they come down again? WILL they come down again?? For the answers, we turn to...

By tapering and then raising interest rates, is it possible the Federal Reserve is intentionally trying to cause a market correction? Macro analyst Jesse Felder thinks so, as it needs to start taming both the asset bubble and inflation monsters it has created. Felder suspects though that this will be more difficult than the Fed thinks, and things could get out of hand -- leading to a full blown market crash and possibly a recession.

With the recent dramatic expansion of world currency supply and high inflation now eating away at the purchasing power of our money, is hyperinflation – true currency destruction – a possible risk in the future? The world’s major central banks have increased the global currency supply by nearly 50% since the pandemic hit less than 2 years ago. Add in the additional trillions of dollars worth of fiscal stimulus issued recently by national legislatures around the world, and it's little surprise th...

2022 is officially here and investors are wondering what this new year has in store for us. How about a 30% market correction and a global recession?

Stocks, bonds and most other assets should decline in price this year as authorities have no other choice but to end stimulus and tighten.

With the Federal Reserve tapering monetary stimulus and then planning to hike interest rates 3 times next year -- while Congress may not be able to pass ANY more fiscal stimulus -- can a recession and/or market crash in 2022 be avoided at this point? And not to mention the impact the latest Omicron COVID virus variant may wreak on the economy...

In Part 1 of this interview, Saxo Bank Chief Investment Office Steen Jakobsen explained why Fed Chair Jerome Powell announced this week that -- to fight the inflation it has played a central role in creating -- the Federal Reserve will accelerate its tapering program and likely hike interest rates three times in 2022. Because the Fed will suddenly now pursue a more hawkish course than the markets have been accustomed to for the past decade, Steen predicts 2022 will be a much more volatile year f...

The Federal Reserve is finally declaring war on inflation. On Wednesday Dec 15, Fed Chair Jerome Powell announced that -- the fight the inflation it has played a central role in creating -- the Federal Reserve will accelerate its tapering program and likely hike interest rates 3x in 2022. That's a 180-degree reversal of the Fed’s rampant bubble-blowing policies to date. While markets are reacting favorably so far, can they continue to do so?

Inflation is really starting to bite. The latest Consumer Price Index -- or CPI -- was released last week, coming out at 6.8%, the highest inflation rate the US has seen in 40 years. Households pinched by these higher prices are asking: When will this stop? Not anytime soon, says macro analyst Wolf Richter, who just issued a report warning that getting inflation under control from here will be a difficult and lengthy process -- especially as the process is being managed by "the most reckless Fed...

Last week, we sent you both Part 1 and Part 2 of our interview with technical analyst Sven Henrich. Sven began by first making the macro case that markets are at their most over-valued levels in all of history. He then dialed through a bevy of charts explaining how technical analysis is showing that market internals are swiftly eroding. Now here in Part 3, Sven directs his full firepower at the Federal Reserve and other major world central banks, warning that their current policies are fracturin...

Here, Sven walks through the latest charts and key patterns he sees with the VIX (the volatility index) and the major stock market indices: the SP500, the Dow, the NASDAQ and the Russell 2000. He is very concerned that they have reached record heights of (over)valuation in large part due to the tens of $trillions in monetary and fiscal stimulus issued around the world lately, which now appears will be substantially reduced (by the US Federal Reserve, at least) in 2022. In addition to that, he se...

In attempt to determine what the markets will do from here, we usually analyze the big macro trends on this program. The macro view helps us estimate what "should" happen next. But to improve our overall understanding, we also need to take into account what "is" happening right now. And what history tells us has happened in the past, when similar set-ups occurred. And for that perspective, we turn to Technical Analysis -- the charts, patterns and statistical data that help us visualize and compa...

Inflation is becoming a real problem. The latest data shows the CPI, consumer price inflation rate, at 6.2%. That's higher than anything we've seen in decades and it is looking less and less "transitory" like our leaders initially promised us it would be.

Week after week on this program, we discuss the lofty prices of today's financial assets. By most metrics, they have never been more richly-valued.

The percentage of homes in the US purchased by investors is rising sharply. It’s now nearly 1 in 4.

I recently tweeted out a chart from CoreLogic, showing how a rising percentage of single family homes are being purchased by investors. The chart real...
