Markets
Pray, what news shall we absorb:
- The proud USA gathered $344B – a noble purse indeed! – but oh! Spent $689B as if funds were endless, crafting a $345B chasm most unfortunate.
- Net interest hath reached the lofty height of $93B, humbled only by the grand lords Medicare and Social Security, who hold the first and second seats.
- The Federal Reserve, that whimsical jester, plans to slash rates by a mere 25 basis points come September, yet, beware! Inflation’s sly serpent may nudge yields ever upward.
Verily, the United States did parade a deficit of $345 billion in August, with coffers jingling softly at $344 billion, whilst the kingdom spent a kingly sum of $689 billion. The mighty princes Medicare and Social Security divvied $141B and $134B respectively, yet the unexpected third wheel was net interest at $93B-aye, the third largest glutton at the feast, guzzling precious coins and mocking thrift! 💸
The Federal Reserve, our capricious oracle, vows to trim rates but a quarter-point in September. Yet let us not be fooled by these gentle promises! Recall, in the year of our Lord 2024, they pruned rates by a full 100 basis points, only to see the 30-year Treasury leap from 3.9% to a dizzying 5%, now resting somewhat humbly at 4.7%. History, dear friends, is a jest indeed! 🎭
With inflation prancing faster than a rogue cat in a silk shop, the hazard looms large that such rate cuts might ignite prices anew-pushing yields, debt service, and fiscal woes to dizzying heights. Policymakers and markets alike find themselves tangled in this farcical dance, a spectacle of fiscal folly! 🤹♂️
Meanwhile, the markets cavort with glee! Gold glittereth like a mad monarch, soaring to just shy of $3,670 per ounce-a near 40% revelry since year’s dawn. Bitcoin, the newfangled rogue, climbs above $115,000, tempting fate and investors alike, seeking refuge while debt doth mount like an overzealous playwright’s debts! 🪙✨
