British Pound Climb Continues Despite Brexit Anxiety Driving GDP Growth to Lowest in Years / Currencies / British Pound
By: AnyOption
While the Pound has recently shrugged off a further tapering in the economy, Brexit fears continue to define the economic climate as evidenced by decelerating household spending and falling business investment. As the vote draws nearer, the economic data is likely to show that the anxiety is becoming more acute, with an even deeper pullback in fundamental activity anticipated. Current forecasts are showing growth retreating even further to a 0.30% pace for the second quarter, a figure that could easily be lower based on the sluggish attitude of consumers and businesses as they await the outcome. In the meantime, the Pound continues to be sensitive to the polling, with expectations of a “Bremain” vote driving the Pound higher, despite the obvious risks to the outlook that could sharply reverse the existing momentum.Read full article...

Trump and Hillary Don't Know How to Fix the Economy / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: MISES
Justin Murray writes: Recently, Hillary Clinton was taped ridiculing Donald Trump for lacking a detailed plan for the American economy. The message, so it goes, is that Trump is not suited for the presidency because he doesn’t have a plan on how to turn the American economy around.
But is it really more dangerous to elect a president who makes up economic policy on the fly than one who proclaims to have a detailed plan for us?

Stock Market Mixed Session to Start the Week / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices started the day out on a positive note, and then sold off dramatically, taking the Nasdaq 100 from 4526 down to 4497 in a 3-wave, constructive pullback. The S&P 500 pulled back from 2103 to 2089. A very later, 45-minute rally took place and brought the Nasdaq 100 up 30 points and the S&P 500 10 points. A last, 2-minute pullback brought them off that rally high, and they closed mixed on the day.

Counter Trend Rally in Gold Due; Stock Market Topping? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Brad_Gudgeon
The GLD chart below shows gold in a declining wedge. Cyclically, an 8 TD low is due in gold and a 4 TD low due in GDX on June 1st. A strong rally is indicated into June 2nd for both gold and GDX.
The stock market (as measured by the S&P 500) has either made its secondary top on May 31st or will likely do so on June 1, in my opinion. Another large drop is due in the weeks ahead.

Will the Fed be Blind Sided by Stagflation? / Economics / Stagflation
By: Michael_Pento
Most Central Bank watchers know that our Federal Reserve has a dual mandate of stable prices in the context of maximum employment. But its use of the words "stable and maximum" is somewhat misleading. For instance, one would assume that "stable" inflation would lead the Fed to pursue no change in prices and "maximum" employment would be a rate targeted at 0 percent unemployment; but this is not the case.
For some antithetical economic reason central bankers have unanimously redefined stable prices as adopting a 2 percent inflation target. The Fed has also morphed the term maximum employment rate to mean a 5-6 percent unemployment rate, clinging to the misguided belief that full employment is the progenitor of inflation, despite no supporting economic or historical evidence.

Here’s Where the TSA Got This One Wrong / Politics / US Politics
By: Rodney_Johnson
My wife hates to fly. It’s not the planes that bother her, although she’s no fan of turbulence. It’s the security process. There’s something about passing through a low-level X-ray machine that can see through your clothes that gives her the willies. Who can blame her?And then there’s the Transportation Security Agency (TSA) agents themselves. Why is it that six or seven seem to be just hanging out while three of them work one security machine, as 200 people wait in line?
