Abigail im thinking about todays two top stories. Of course, the fed rate cut, the emergency rate cut, and the stock selloff. Investment traders thinking the fed has not done enough. There was another period of time when bond yields fell and stocks fell. That was in 2018. At that time, fed chair jay powell they were in a hiking mode and he indicated they would hike. They did. And became more dovish stocks fell off. Between that selloff and this selloff, even with the fed cutting rates, stocks going lower. Investors not liking the messaging, it seems. They should not be worried about message response although perhaps a looking for
End Coal Financing being undermined by new credit from china and japan. Lets take a look at the markets now. Looks like very much like the past couple of weeks although potentially more so. Very volatile, s p 500 futures have begun to trade and we automatically have begun to see a decline of 2. 8 . We saw last week a gain in the u. S. The s p but the average move was three points. Olatility is still reigning sustaining stocks losses for a second day. The safe even been coming back coming safe haven bid back strong. The u. S. The yen is strongest since the 2016 election in the u. S. A rough day, 41 a barrel for oil. Now investors are expecting more. Lets take a longer look at wti crude. Not even not only did the meeting in vienna not result in agreement, but saudi arabia has initiated an allout price war saying they will pump 10 Million Barrels a day next month.

Federal reserve vice chairman speaking in washington to the National Association for business economics, saying that the fed is close log monitoring the coronavirus. So maybe a slightly different tone than last week. He said it will be a noticeable impact on china in the First Quarter, and that could spill over to the rest of the global economy. Too soon to speculation on the size or persistence of those global effects the probability of rate cuts reaching alltime highs for the individual contracts, april, a first duty now at 63 , it is probability of a second customer, and now over to 50 for a third cut in december for the first time, so the majority of position in the mart right for you, sara, going along with a huge decline in the tenyear to alltime lows and the downdraft in the stock market is now for there to be three rate cuts this year from the federal reserve.

Stocks after the worst day for the averages in two years . Does it make sense to bail on the market when the dow just plunged 1032 points, s p 500 plummeted 3. 35 , and nasdaq nose dived 3. 17 is that the right thing to do or should we treat in melt down like a buyable pull back honestly, it depends on five factors. So lets check them down one, do you have enough cash to buy or do you need to borrow to make that happen if you dont have a decent amount of cash on the sidelines, you shouldnt do any buying.

Do not buy a rally please. Get a rally, you missed it it

Well, the volumes that are imported from the middle east have decreased dramatically in the last few years with the increase in election. But, in fact, the middle east has never accounted for very dramatic share of u. S. Imports. There was a time when there were significant imports from saudi arabia, from kuwait. The reason why the u.

What is how is the market handling u. S. And iran tensions . Its been quite remarkable. There hasnt been much of a reaction. There was a k
