This was expected. The rate increase was small and resulted in a big boost to the stock market.
Thats not how rate increases work. Quite the opposite really. The stock market’s positive performance was not tied to rates increasing. In the typical business cycle stock market returns surge during periods of lower rates because small and mid cap companies can borrow money cheaper thus increasing their earnings. Higher rates dont affect large and mega cap companies as much because they can just issue their own bonds to raise business capital. Thats why we still have good returns on large cap stocks. It is a bit unsettling. Large caps are on a bit of an unprecedented run. Normally if you take a 10 year segment of the market, small caps will produce the largest returns 2 or 3 of those 10 years. We have had 0 of those years in the last ten years. Mid cap returns have started to come back in the last year but small caps are still struggling. Im a financial advisor and I will say the death of IPOs in the small cap market is very concerning for the broad market. We are being completely propped up by the latge and mega cap market.

Annualized its 2.6%.
Not great for sure but not flat like you claimed.

That is flat.

You forgot the price of beef. You know, that seldom used groceries word.
Trump's tariffs jacked up domestic beef prices? On any given year 10-20% of beef consumed in the US is imported. I doubt any tariffs on imported beef has caused the 30-40% rise in beef prices since the Covid-19 Hysteria.

Wait until when (if) China tariffs actually become a reality.
That can has been kicked down the road so often that it now needs replaced.
Tariffs have been on China since Trump 1.0. The delay was to the INCREASE. Get a clue, retard.

Actually, I think Trump will pull the plug before then. That's one of the few good things about populism. When your groundless decisions based on zero principle produce awful results, you can—without violating any core principles, because you didn't have any in the first place—just reverse gears, claim the idea was great but scapegoat someone else for the failure, and keep right on trucking.)
You just admitted that you wouldn't reverse course on a bad decision if it violated your core principles. That's stupid. You would put your economic principles above the good of the country even after the data proves it was a bad decision.
And you want to fault Trump for following the data while you would continue on a failed path because "muh principles." And we're talking about economic principles, not morality, so don't conflate the two.
How do people not see how retarded that point of view is?

Or he could have just listened to more enlightened people and not made a fool of himself with his tariff rollout and subsequent flip-flopping.
He was told, as most of you...that these tariffs were going to drag the economy, not help it.

How are you always so dumb
Hes gotten tariffs from 4% average to 15% across the board
The economy isnt dragging
Its no wonder you ran away from life and live in a tent with Murkowski
