Following in the footsteps of the ECB, the Fed capitulated today and thereby removed any doubt that 2019 is shaping up to be just like 2010.

The two main takeaways from today are:

  • The Fed is no longer anticipating a single rate hike for 2019
  • The Fed will

There's not much to add this morning as the remainder of this week will center around Chief Goon Powell and his Fedlines this afternoon.

As we've discussed for weeks, there is ZERO chance of a fed funds rate hike this afternoon and all of the action will center around the verbiage of...

Another day is put behind us and now we can finally focus upon CGP, his FOMC and tomorrow's Fedlines.

After a general discussion regarding what the rest of this week may hold, we head to the charts. But first, please be sure to check these two links:

The Comex metals are higher today as Chief Goon Powell kicks off his quarterly clambake. While this is nice, and certainly better than the alternative, it's just noise ahead of the market reaction that will follow tomorrow and Thursday.

But don't get me wrong. All upticks are welcome...

The week begins quietly will all carbon-based and algo-based traders focused solely upon Wednesday's Fedlines and press conference.

As such, today's podcast struggles for material to cover. But there are at least a few items of interest ahead of the Fedlines so we begin by asking you...

Here comes Chief Goon Powell, in all his glory. Between now and Wednesday there will be some ups and some downs but the real action won't get going until we see those mid-week Fedlines.

In the meantime, I guess it's nice to see green prices on a Monday morning. That's better than the...

It's good to have this week behind us and now we can begin to look ahead to next week and the March FOMC. In the short term, we can also look ahead to some green beer and Irish whiskey!

But before St. Patrick's weekend can begin, we need to review the charts. First, both the 2-year...

"Beware Triple Witching Expirations" would be a modern warning to Julius Caesar. But, with the economic data continuing to be miserable, all of us here have nothing to fear as the week looks to end on an UP tick.
