Lets go further Either we are Getting 50 BPS This time or We are Getting 25 BPS next time WHY Is That So ... ?? The Attached Charts shows the overall level of financial conditions in an economy The conditions are on Same levels When FED was ABOUT to hike Rates Meaning . Further more —Dot plots , Fed curves ,GSUSCFI Index and Bloom Berg Index & Fall in Credit spread "ALL" Indicating ease in financial system Meaning this Data provide Evidence that FED Can increase More Interest Rates As Credit spread also falling to positive signal for economy — Rise In commodity Prices Like (RBAB Gasoline) Indicates more higher Prices in Energy sectors. — Lastly Good inflation trading above 20 years average & CPI Also printing higher on Y/Y Basis. 2- EURO RATE HIKES :- THIS comes With same Expectations Rate hikes + Hawkish Stance with & Lagarde speech. Lets Discuss JPY NEWS ON FRIDAY 3- BOJ REPORT :- A surprise can be Expected From Other Side Like They can Increase the range of "10 -years JGB" 50 BPS TO 75 /100 BPS ( BOND BUYING BACK PROGRAM) This will Cause bonds Prices to Rise / Yields to Fall & "JPY TO GET WEAKEN" —Other yield can React Negatively To IT ( LIKE US -10 YEAR)

Harmonically, US Interest Rates are Headed Toward 35%The US Interest Rate chart has been trading within a Descending Broadening Wedge and has recently broken out of the wedge. The target for a pattern like this is typically back to the inception of the pattern, which in this case would be 20%; but we also have an additional variable here, and that's the Potential Logscale Harmonic Formation we've made here. If we are to treat the action of this chart as we'd treat any other chart, then we'd expect that once B gets broken, we'd get an accelerated move all the way up to the Harmonic Completion of a Bearish Shark, which would land us at the 1.13/1.618 Harmonic Confluence Zone up at around 34-35% There have been previous instances where Harmonics have had a predictive quality over data like this, such as the accelerated liquidity exit out of the reverse repo facility, the bond yield charts on multiple occasions, and the US Inflation Rate Charts. Which can all be seen in the related ideas tab if you are skeptical of my use of Harmonic Patterns in this context.

Return To BaseA "back to the basics" analysis. Let's leave behind the stock markets and look at the slow and deep fundamentals of the worldwide economy. Today I will attempt to make a simple analysis using GDP. This is the net profit of one country. The miracle of China caught the West in the sleep. It outperformed the largest economy of the world. And by incredible speeds. Many use the "stochastic" indicator, and rightfully so. The word stochastic may be coming from the Greek word "stochasmos" which means "thought process". To get a new perspective on these charts we must let nature think for us objectively. The mind of nature spoke. The miracle of China is fading. And the same happens when compared to the "treasure" called Taiwan. Many are willing to fight for it. For experimentation, let's compare the US with the Eurozone. For some unknown-to-me reason, GDP has embedded in it the relative strength of currencies between the two countries. Do note that all GDP is measured in USD. In a sense, relative GDP growth is another way of comparing currency strength. We have gone from comparing equities, to comparing GDP. We concluded that comparing GDP is simply comparing purchasing power of two countries. Currency strength comes from yield rates. The power is given from those who make and define money. Supply + Yields. Power = Money Supply * Money Strength MV = PQ Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground. -Father Grigori P.S. You want to see an Easter Egg? Consider the following equations: MV = PQ Q = GDP M = M2SL V = FRED:M2V P = "price level" 1 / P = "currency strength" Currency Strength = Q / MV In the end, it is up to the FED to decide the future.

Hopefully people can understand why there's so much controversial developments on Russia & BRICS +, this current war is nothing to do with helping another country. Its because BRICS see's the end of the US system and they are preparing for it.

Market Insight: Week Ending 21 JulyIn the US: It was quite a week for the US. According to the Bureau of Labour Statistics (BLS) on Wednesday, consumer price inflation slowed to its lowest level since March 2021 at 3.0% in the twelve months to June (vs expected 3.1% ). Core inflation—excludes energy and food—also cooled to 4.8% (vs expected 5.0% ). Additionally, Thursday revealed that the US Producer Price Index (PPI) printed a smaller-than-expected increase. This indicator measures inflationary pressures on the wholesale side: before it reaches the consumer. US wholesale prices rose less than anticipated in the twelve months to June, gaining 0.1% (vs expected 0.4% ), with core wholesale prices—less foods, energy, and trade services—slowing to 2.6% (vs expected 2.6% ). This, as well as softer jobs growth (the US economy added 209,000 jobs in June ), is unlikely to derail the Fed from raising the Fed Funds target rate on 26 July, but casts doubt on the Fed hiking beyond this month’s meeting, despite Fed officials’ forecasts. In the US this week, industrial production is expected to remain suppressed, with US retail sales and housing data also on the radar. While retail sales data are expected to increase from May to June by 0.5%, the YoY measure is anticipated to slow to 1.1% in June, down from 1.6% in May. Regarding housing data, economists are forecasting a correction, with housing starts, building permits and existing home sales projected to come in lower. Overall, though, these releases are unlikely to alter the Fed’s decision to push rates higher by 25bps later this month. Also notable this week, Fed speak will be on pause as Fed officials enter their blackout period (15-27 July) ahead of the Fed rate decision. The US Dollar Index is testing long-term support at 99.67, following a one-sided tumble last week. This could prompt profit-taking this week and see a minor recovery unfold. In the UK: Inflation data is back in the spotlight this week; only this time, it’s June’s inflation numbers from the UK. It is certainly an economic event worth pencilling in the diary this Wednesday at 7:00 am GMT+1. You will recall that UK wages were 7.3% higher (vs 7.1% expected ) in the three months to May, compared to a year prior, and, including bonuses, wages were 6.9% higher (vs 6.8% expected ) for the same period. Although the unemployment rate climbed to 4.0% in May, up from 3.8% in April (median consensus: 3.8%), the latest UK pay data will concern the Bank of England (BoE), which next meet on 3 August. Wednesday’s consumer price inflation data for June, as aired above, will be a key watch this week, with both headline and core measures poised to slow. Headline YoY inflation is expected to cool to 8.3% (median forecast), down from 8.7% in May. YoY core annual inflation is also expected to slow to 7.0% for the same period, down from 7.1%. A marked deviation to the upside in inflation this week would likely seal the deal for a 50bp rate increase. As of writing, short-term interest rate markets are pricing in a 60% probability that the BoE will hike by another 50bps, bringing the Bank Rate to 5.5%. Interestingly, the terminal rate has nudged lower, currently forecasted to reach around 6.18% in early 2024 and remain at this level for most of the year. The GBP/USD surged north last week, adding 2.0%. Key technical indicators suggest the currency pair is overbought (overvalued), with price action also nearing long-term resistance at $1.32.

The end of the tightening cycle is nighThe decline in the US inflation rate to more than a two-year low, marks a major step towards the end of the Fed’s historic monetary tightening cycle1. We believe key deflationary forces are in play – (1) weaker commodity prices (2) improvement in global supply chains (3) moderation in demand (4) lower inflation expectations. Therefore, the June decline in inflation is just the start of a series of decreases. Softer than expected inflation report As highlighted in the chart below, the details for June were also better than expected with key measures of underlying inflation coming in below forecasts. The inflation report suggests that some of the stickier components of inflation such as used cars and airline fares are also moderating. It’s important to note that most of the rise in the June CPI can be attributed to housing, however because of the way it is calculated it tends to lag current conditions. The S&P Case Shiller Home Price Index which tends to lead CPI shelter by roughly a year, is already flat which highlights US inflation is likely headed lower. Inflation for labour intensive services such as restaurants, recreation and personal care remained higher in June reflecting the pass -through of higher wages and robust services demand2. Potential further softening in the labour market could bring these categories back to target consistent levels. Softening in the labour market was evident in June’s employment report (nonfarm payrolls rose by 209k versus consensus 230k) which was weaker than expected for the first time in 15 months3. US Producer Prices confirmed a similar deflationary theme. The US Producer Price Index (PPI) inflation for June was softer than expected with headline and core PPI advancing 0.1% over the prior month4. Business surveys are also pointing to weakening pricing power, such as the Institute of Supply Management (ISM) services index which ties in with a lower inflation backdrop. US inflation can’t prevent the July rate hike While expectations for the July rate hike of 25Bps remain firmly in place, the market has scaled back expectations for a second hike – with 21bps / 3bps / 3bps of hikes priced for the July / September / November FOMC meetings5. The disinflation trend increases our belief that the Fed is close to, or will be, at the end of the current rate hike cycle. Earnings take centre stage for the next leg of the rally The key question now remains whether the market continues to trade off expectations of an easing narrative. Central bank policy has been the biggest drag for equities last year. The timing of the easing narrative comes at the heels of a volatile Q2 2023 earnings season. The S&P 500 Index earnings in the Q2 2023 are expected to decline 6.8% y/y, worse than the decline of 3.9% in the Q1 20233. This would be the largest earnings decline since the pandemic-fuelled 31.6% y/y decline in the Q2 2020. Earnings will be the key deciding factor for an extension in the current rally. Investors will be keen to hear from management whether they are looking to adopt a leaner cost structure and ways they are looking to remove excess capacity. Investors will be looking for guidance on productivity and efficiency gains rather than the financial engineering we have witnessed over the past decade.

CPI tomorrowU.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) tomorrow at 8:30am. If CPI comes in below 3% the stock market will rally strong. If the CPI print is an upside surprise the stock market will go red. If CPI comes in at 3.1% forecast the stock market will whipsaw and then go up. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the change in the price of goods and services from the perspective of the consumer. It's a key way to measure changes in purchasing trends and inflation. The 2s10s yield curve is a measure of the difference in interest rates between the two-year and ten-year Treasury bonds, which generally tend to trend together with 10s yielding a premium to 2s. However, on rare occasions, the front end of the curve can become inverted as a result of the Federal Reserve (FOMC) policy intervention via raising short-term rates. Historically, an inverted yield curve has been a reliable predictor of an impending economic recession.

Recession Timeframe Horizon Macro Monday (2) Potential Recession Time Horizon Below you will find a breakdown of how many months pass before a confirmed Economic Recession (shaded grey areas) after the yield curves first definitive turn back up towards the 0% level: 1) 13 Months (Dec 1978 – Jan 1980) 2) 9 Months (Nov 1980 – July 1981) 3) 16 Months (Mar 1989 – Jul 1990) 4) 12 Months (Mar 2000 – Mar 2001) 5) 22 Months (Feb 2006 – Dec 2007) 6) 6 Months (Aug 2019 – Mar 2020) 7) 4 Months so far (Mar 2023 - ????) Average Time frame: 13 months (reasonable time horizon would be 6 – 18 months). I consider the first definitive turn up towards the 0% level as no. 7 on the chart (March 2023). Since this date we have rolled over below the -1% level (see additional chart in comments). March 2023 appears similar to the bounce in Dec 1978 (No. 1 in the chart), it also rolled over to the lower sub -1% level. If we assumed a similar 13 month timeframe to recession commencement as in Dec 1978 of 13 months, which also aligns with our 13 month average above, we would be looking at April 2024 for a recession to commence. Interestingly 1978 - 1980 was a similar peak inflationary period known as the Great Inflation, a defining macroeconomic period of high inflation. You might be wondering, has a recession ever occurred in the month of April before? I personally thought this was a strange month but it has occurred in the past. In April 1960 a recession commenced and lasted 10 months to February 1961. The 1960 recession was mainly a result of an over-tight monetary policy whereby the Federal Reserve raised interest rates from 1.75% in mid-1958 to 4% by the end of 1959 and maintained them at that level until June 1960. The Federal Reserves motive for raising interest rates and maintaining them was fear of high inflation (as in early 1951 inflation soared to +9.5%). Is it just me or is this all starting to sound a little too familiar? If we wanted to cater for all time scenarios in the chart and noted above (no. 1 - 6) we could argue that the start of a recession is possible at the earliest within 6 months (Sept 2023) and at the latest 22 months (Jan 2025). Also, the month of April 2024 has some eerie similarities to two prior recessions, the 1978 and 1960 Recessions. Lucky 13 Since World War 2 bear markets have on average taken about 13 months to reach their bottom and a further 26 months to recover their losses. Our average time before a recession would start is 13 months. It’s worth remembering that it could take an additional 13 months before a bottom is established and then 2 years or 26 months (2 x 13) of price action below the pre-recession price highs. Over 3 years is a long time to wait to recover losses. It would be pertinent to start deleveraging or increasing your hedge from the 6 month mark (Sept 2023 in this case) as subsequently the likelihood of a 3 year period below the Sept 2023 price levels increase as each month passes. For reference the S&P 500 index has fallen an average of 33% during bear markets over the avg. timeframe of 13 months to the bottom. I actually find it very hard to accept that a recession is possible in the near term (within 6 - 12 months) and I would in fact argue against it, however I cannot explain away the data in the chart which speaks for itself and warrants at least some consideration & caution. Nothing is a guarantee and maybe this time it will be different, especially factoring in the amount of unprecedented liquidity added to the market in recent years, sticky inflation and financial supports provided to systemically important banks. All the chart really indicates is a probable window for a recession to start some time between Sept 2023 – Jan 2025 and no guarantees. The rule of 13 is worth remembering, simply from a timing perspective (before and during a recession) as it may help your timing. Based on two similar periods in history, the 1978 and 1960 recessions suggest the month of April 2024 may be a key date. Again, no guarantees. It is also worth noting that for the last six recessions, on average, the announcement of when a recession started was up to 8 months after the fact…meaning we will have no direct indication when a recession starts, however the un-inversion of the yield curve (back above the 0% level) and a rise in unemployment will be the early tells, so these are worth paying attention too. We will keep you posted on any sudden changes in these metrics. I hope the chart is helpful, provides one perspective of which there are many, and can help time and frame the situation we currently find ourselves in. NO GAURANTEES, just probable timeframes that may be worth paying attention too. PUKA List of Recessions: 1. COVID-19 Recession (February - April 2020) 2. The Great Recession of 2008 (December 2007 - June 2009) 3. The September 11 Recession (March - November 2001) 4. The Gulf War Recession (July 1990 - March 1991) 5. The Iran/Energy Crisis Recession (July 1981 - November 1982) 6. The Energy Crisis Recession (January - July 1980) 7. The Nixon Recession (December 1969 - November 1970) 8. The “Rolling Adjustment” Recession (April 1960 - February 1961) 9. The Eisenhower Recession (August 1957 - April 1958) 10. The Post-Korean War Recession (July 1953 - May 1954)

UNRATE Update | December 2021 - PresentThe US unemployment rate can double from here and still be within the long-term range and still below the extremes that have occurred during more recent recessions. Also worth point out that the only time we have been below this level of unemployment (higher employment) was during the Korean war in the early 1950s. Sure, we could see the rate of employment increase - that can happen. But it's unlikely, based on 75 years of data that spans everything from Post-Keynesianism, to Real Business Cycle (RBC), to Monetarism, to MMT. As such, it is safe to conclude that a lower UE rate, from "here", is unlikely. So unemployment has probably bottomed, stocks are yet to recover their December 2021 highs (19 months) and the interest rate on the US10Y is up roughly 200% (having gone as high as + 215%) over the same 19-month period and currently offering a yield of 4.049%; the US10Y maintains it's lag of the US02Y, which is currently offering a yield of 4.95%. In other words, bank lending is more constrained... Wow, even the banks are telling us there is significant risk in the market. Meanwhile a lot of folks are running around telling you how great fake-money crypto supposedly is. Maybe the banks are right about risk.... Oh! one more thing: the VIX has also reached a bottom of sorts.

Build Back BetterBuild Back Better is a disaster for the economy. Banks are failing and Inflation is killing middle class America. The wealthy are above inflation rates in a top down economy where they receive their money before the full effect of inflation kicks in at the lower levels. "Trickle Down Economics". Non Farm Payrolls are down again marking a decisive trend. Fewer jobs being created in the workforce along with flooding Illegal migrants along the border and you have a catastrophe that is just waiting to happen. A third world country in the making.
