By the point you learn this, the excitement of what the Fed did and Powell’s presser can be over… a minimum of for the day.

They don’t need to work for pay raises of three% when inflation is at 10%. Then add that many corporations are posting big income and inventory buybacks (though by half of what that has been over the past decade).
How far can individuals be pushed?
What the JOLTS report tells us is that, whatever the Fed and ECBs battle towards inflation whereas making an attempt to not spiral economies into recession, there’s a greater battle. Social upheaval, rising meals costs, wages not maintaining. With JOLTS up, company layoffs proceed. FedEx as the most recent instance.
Sounds fairly inflationary, no?
