Technical Monday: A Look at Solar

Mish Schneider | October 7, 2024

I had another dream over the weekend.

This dream wasn’t the same as the ones I have had about sugar in 2019 or gold in 2020 or the Swiss Franc in 2024.

Those were literally out of the blue, based …


Economic Modern Family’s Tilt-a-Whirl to Nowhere

Mish Schneider | October 6, 2024

The Tilt-A-Whirl is a flat ride used at amusement parks, fairs and carnivals.

Family Friday: A Lateral Economic Modern Family

Mish Schneider | September 29, 2024

I’d say “if the Economic Modern Family could speak..”

However, they can, and they do.

And what are they saying after a week of China flying, metals rallying, yields and dollar flattening, natural gas bottoming and oil prices dropping?

Not …


Hump Wednesday-A Look at the Long Bonds TLT

Mish Schneider | September 25, 2024

Instead of falling after the Fed lowered rates, the 10-year and 20+ year yields have risen.

This seems incongruous given the dovish Fed talk.

However, a lot of the cuts were baked into the bonds ahead of the announcement.

How …


Turnaround Tuesday-Outside US, Other Countries ETFs

Mish Schneider | September 24, 2024

Today was a big day for China stocks and ETFs.

The PBOC cut its reserve requirement ratio to the lowest level in 4 years, as well as trimmed its main short-term interest rate.
