Mid May Market Movement â Still Churning at the Same Levels
Here we are again.
Back on May 3rd, our self-explanatory headline for the Morning Report was:
Monday Market Movement – Dow 34,000, S&P 4,200, Nasdaq 13,900 – Again and, this morning, we re at 34,346, 4,169 and 13,385 respectively. The Dow is up 1%, S&P flat and the Nasdaq is down 3.7% respectively. The Dollars those indexes are priced in, however, have lost 1.5% of their buying power during the same two weeks as our currency is teetering on the cliff of the May lows.
This is the stealthy way the market can take your money when you don t realize it – especially in an inflationary environment - so we need to keep on our toes. For example, I could have traded a $32 shares of AT&T (T) for 10 gallons of Gasoline (/RB) on May 3rd but now I d be lucky to get 9 gallons for the same share. I would have needed 55 shares of T to trade for an ounce of gold at $1,760 but now I need 58.33 shares at $1,867.
COX S BAZAR, Bangladesh (AP) â A fire on Friday destroyed more than 20 shops in a makeshift market near a Rohingya refugee camp in southern Bangladesh, killing at least three people, police and witnesses said.
Local police chief Ahmed Sanjur Morshed said they recovered the bodies from the debris after it took firefighters several hours to bring the blaze under control. Several other people were injured.
The fire broke out early Friday when residents of the sprawling Kutupalong camp for Myanmar s Rohingya refugees were asleep.
Sayedul Mustafa, the owner of a shop, confirmed the dead were his staff.
âWe had five workers who slept in the shop but three of them were missing. Then after the fire was put out with water, we found one body first, then all three. Two people survived by the grace of Allah,â said Aneesul Mustafa, a Rohingya refugee and the owner s relative.
