Such a hateful little man.

The Dow was, indeed, in free fall this week.

The swirl of fresh coronavirus cases and growing risks to the global economy have some seasoned market strategists warning that U.S. growth could come to a halt this year and some Treasury yields may drop below zero for the first time.

...

Money markets are pricing in a half-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve this month and an additional half-point by the end of July.


Welp. There you go. :neutral: The upside is if you hadn’t re-fi’d your house maybe you can get a point off in July. Or buy a new one at, 2.75%? That kind kind of cut should create a scorching hot market right before the elections, no?

Looks like Russia and the Saudi's decided to have a war over oil pricing at the worst time. Futures plunged 1200 points bringing the DOW where it was in late 2017. Occidental Petroleum Corp is down 33%. With crude crashing below $40/barrel, this could be a bumpy week for the market.

Well, if this keeps up, Trump’s gonna lose his main campaign talking point.

It’s a good thing that the Fed still hasn’t been badgered by Trump into using up all of their tricks during better times that would otherwise be used to help stem the severity of an economic downturn.

Oh, wait ...
