Economic News is Total crapola. Clowns are working hard against the tide today. Looks like one stagflation data point w/ the trend of leading indicators being down.

PPI= +1.1% vs consensus forecast of +0.3% THIS is BAD and moves markets
Inventories= +0.5% vs consensus of +0.2%
Ind Production = -0.8% vs consensus of -0.3% THIS is BAD & moves markets

Also ECRI weekly leading econ indicator dropped to 117.6 or -3.3% mfor week ending 11/8

Clearly Allen Greensperm had his reasons for cutting 0.5% rather than 0.25%. He is trying to head off clear evidence of a recession laced with inflation. I am sure he had early warning of this.

On the plus side, Consumer sentiment is up now that consumers are no longer being murdered at Exon and Home Depot. Hopefully no 9/11 repeats to accompany the Iraq war.
