FITCH, on #GDP:

".. Whichever way you slice it, this report caps a year of stellar economic growth performance, particularly with the backdrop of the Fed’s aggressive monetary policy tightening cycle. The momentum of economic growth going into 2024 is looking very good and presents an upside risk to growth going forward, despite widespread expectation of a slowdown in 2024. The Fed will likely not be in a hurry to cut rates, if the data continues to come in this hot."

I know this can't last but right now we have:

5% nominal wage growth

6% nominal GDP growth

and 3% inflation

And the Fed is going to cut interest rates w/stocks at all-time highs

The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 broke their string of consistently higher highs for 5 days in a row, today.

Impeach Joe?

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

We dodged several bullets during the Trump presidency. The zero percent interest propped him up. But blowing up the free world not a great look

Average price for gas in Florida is now below $3 a gallon.

...“The state average has plummeted more than 16 cents in the past two weeks,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA - The Auto Club Group. “Plunging temps across the country contributes to lower fuel demand, which normally leads to excess fuel supplies and lower prices.

More than 70% of filling stations now have gas prices below $3 a gallon.” In the Miami area, gas prices dipped more than 9 cents a gallon from last week to this week, according to GasBuddy. In the Bradenton area, gas prices averaged $2.96 a gallon. And in Orlando, home to the theme parks, gas prices are $2.91 to start the week.

Many of these are all-time, in the history of the market, record highs.

Excellent link Gutter, thanks. Helps to confirm the widely-held view that the economy does better during Democratic administrations:

Jan 20,2021

...Here's how the stock market performed under Trump, and how it compared to previous administrations.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average returned 56% during the Trump presidency, according to LPL. This represents an annualized gain of 11.8%, which is the best performance for any Republican president since Calvin Coolidge during the roaring 1920's.

"This was still below the annualized returns of Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama,"
LPL's Chief Market Strategist Ryan Detrick said in a note on Wednesday.

The annualized return of the Dow was 12.1% and 15.9% for Obama and Clinton, respectively.

...And since election day and up until inauguration day, President Joe Biden saw the sharpest gain on record in the S&P 500 of 12.8%, according to LPL. This compares to Trump's gain of 6.2%, and the previous record holder of John F. Kennedy and Bill Clinton, when the S&P 500 surged 8.8% between election day and inauguration day.

“I think the economy is horrible, except the stock market is going up, and I think the stock market is going up because I'm leading Biden in all of the polls,” Trump said during a Fox News town hall event in Iowa on Jan. 10. “I think there will be a crash if I don't win.”
