Apparently someone at the intercept thinks that these "market watchers" are like all-knowing sages who only speak truth and wisdom about the markets (often times they are actually just clueless fools)

The stock market falling doesn't mean the economy is falling. It's exactly what the article says, other investments become more attractive; so money gets reallocated.
Most macro economic indicators continue to be strong, which is why no one is crying recession yet. --- /poast ... Copied to Clipboard!

Except that it's not actually an explanation considering that immediately in the article: Now, when analysts say that the Dow Jones industrial average went up or down for this or that reason, they are often just guessing. I was more commenting on how dumb that thought is. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

"These people whose careers are dedicated to the stock market are just guessing. I know because I'm a maybe-trained glorified opinion writer for a third rate publication. Treat their opinion as nonsense but mine as fact."

If you actually read the article you'd know it's not about wages going up, it's about the inflation that wages going up brings.

The recent Dow Jones fluctuations have very little to do with a legitimate fear of inflation. The stock market panicked largely because CEOs and shareholders fear that theyre losing their upper hand over a workforce thats cutting increasingly into their record profits. The Feds response to that may well be worse for the average American than anything that happens on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange: It may throw workers who are already hurting under the bus in the name of a stopping something inflation thats nowhere to be found. Theres an outsized chance it could even trigger another recession, as more dramatic rate hikes have been known to do in the past.
Like most economic policymaking, the job of the Fed is to adjudicate who gets to hold power in the economy and society writ large, ostensibly in the public interest. If the Fed raises interest rates in the coming weeks and months, its answer will be clear. Yikes at this conclusion --- New York Knicks, New York Jets, New York Yankees. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I mean the first 2 words of the article, conveniently cut out by the TC, are "Karl Marx" so we shouldn't be surprised. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
