Previewing The September “Hurricane-Disrupted” Jobs Report

By silveristhenew | Published October 5, 2017

Tomorrow’s hurricane-affected September jobs report will be… confusing. That is the (lack of) consensus from Wall Street analysts, who expect an average print of 80,000 (down from the 3-month average of 185K), however with huge variance on either side, with 4 economists predicting a loss of jobs, three expecting a print higher than 150K and […]

By silveristhenew | Published September 25, 2017

Via The Daily Bell $60 Billion plus is the U.S. dollar equivalent to how much Bitcoin is currently in circulation.

June Payrolls Preview: With The Fed On Autopilot, You Can Skip This One

By silveristhenew | Published July 6, 2017

After a poor March jobs report, followed by an April scorcher, then another debacle in May, the June payrolls report due at 8:30am will be… very much irrelevant, because as Citi pointed out earlier, the Fed is now data-independent and will keep hiking until financial conditions finally tighten (read: stocks drop). In other words, with […]

About Those “Overly Optimistic” Trump GDP Forecasts, There’s Just One Thing

By silveristhenew | Published February 20, 2017

Last Friday, both armchair and tenured US economists found another reason to lash out at Trump in mockery: as the WSJ reported, the Trump administration had drafted economic growth forecasts in its budget plans that “rely on assumptions that are far rosier than projections made by independent agencies and most private forecasters.” According to the […]
