Business sentiment turning up which is usually bullish Since the 70's, a significant improvement in the US business sentiment, as measured by the US NFIB Business Optimism Index, usually translated in a higher S&P500 in the following months and year. The only exception being 2021 when the pandemic put a halt to the rise in the stock market (but did recovered quickly). I used a cross of the 12-month rate of change above 6%. The most recent datas is showing the best improvement in business sentiment since the early 80's. This bodes well for a continuation of the bull market in the coming months.

Global Liquidity: A Turning PointLooking at the state of global liquidity, I believe we're in a solid position for some longer trades. The chart reflects a potential inflection point, suggesting that liquidity could increase over the next six months. This aligns well with my base case that we may see a gradual rise in liquidity, supported by macroeconomic tailwinds. From a strategy perspective, this appears to be a prime opportunity for longer-term spot positions in miners, Bitcoin, and metals. These assets are historically well-positioned to benefit from rising liquidity conditions, and current levels offer an attractive entry point for patient investors. While short-term volatility is always a possibility, the broader trend signals that this could be a pivotal moment for accumulation in these sectors. Patience and conviction will be key in riding this next wave.

$GBIRYY -U.K Inflation Rate (December/2024)ECONOMICS:GBIRYY December/2024 source: Office for National Statistics -Annual inflation rate in the UK unexpectedly edged lower to 2.5% in December 2024 from 2.6% in November, below forecasts of 2.6%. However, it matched the BoE's forecast from early November. Prices slowed for restaurants and hotels (3.4%, the lowest since July 2021 vs 4%), mainly due to a 1.9% fall in prices of hotels. Inflation also slowed for recreation and communication (3.4% vs 3.6%) and services (4.4%, the lowest since March 2022 vs 5) and steadied for food and non-alcoholic beverages (at 2%). Meanwhile, prices decreased less for transport (-0.6% vs -0.9%) as upward effects from motor fuels and second-hand cars (1%) partially offset a downward effect from air fare (-26%). Also, prices rose slightly more for housing and utilities (3.1% vs 3%). Compared to November, the CPI rose 0.3%, above 0.1% in the previous period but below forecasts of 0.4%. The annual core inflation rate also declined to 3.2% from 3.5% and the monthly rate went up to 0.3%, below forecasts of 0.5%.

CPI forecastThe CPI represents changes in prices of all goods and services purchased for consumption by urban households. User fees (such as water and sewer service) and sales and excise taxes paid by the consumer are also included. Income taxes and investment items (like stocks, bonds, and life insurance) are not included. Prices for the goods and services used to calculate the CPI are collected in 75 urban areas throughout the country and from about 23,000 retail and service establishments. Data on rents are collected from about 50,000 landlords or tenants. The weight for an item is derived from reported expenditures on that item as estimated by the Consumer Expenditure Survey. The stochastic indicator is pointing to an increase in inflation over the next few months. However, that doesn't necessarily predict an immediate increase in inflation this month.

Willshire5000 - the extended Buffett indicator - SPX 6084How to read the Char. In the main pan, there we find the ratio built by Willshire5000 divided by global Gross Domestic. As you know, the Buffett indicator is built by the ratio built by Willshire5000 divided by GDP USA. Meantime, together with the strong globalization, various experts thinking, that US companies make a lot of there revenues in foreign countries. And GDP US contains this not exactly. Example: an big company is contained in the willshire5000 as a price, but runrover etc. Is contained in a other country.

Bearish Divergence on Indonesia Population Data: A Brief OpinionA bearish divergence was detected on Indonesia's population chart using MACD and RSI indicators. Typically used in financial markets to predict trend reversals, applying these tools to population data may not be relevant. Bearish divergence happens when data shows higher highs, but indicators show lower highs, hinting at weakening momentum. While this could suggest slowing population growth, such interpretation needs caution. This observation is purely experimental and not a reliable demographic insight. Proper demographic studies using statistical models are essential to derive accurate conclusions. This article reflects an opinion and highlights the need for further research. TradingView offers a wide variety of data and charting tools. This analysis is just an entry point to explore other insights on the platform. However, a deeper understanding and thorough research are necessary to draw meaningful conclusions. Please note that this analysis is not meant to be taken seriously as a demographic forecast. It is simply an unusual observation using technical indicators in a non-financial context. Apologies if this perspective seems unconventional or causes any misunderstanding. No offense is intended, and it is shared purely for educational and exploratory purposes.

S&P 500 trends and market speculation for 2025As 2025 gets into full swing, traders are navigating a landscape shaped by two years of extraordinary stock market performance. The S&P 500 has delivered back-to-back annual gains exceeding 20% in 2023 and 2024, but analysts are signaling a more tempered outlook for the year ahead. With economic indicators, Federal Reserve policy, and geopolitical developments in focus, investors are keenly watching for potential trends and reversals. S&P 500: Riding the momentum The S&P 500 ended 2024 with an impressive annual gain of approximately 23%, following a 24% increase in 2023. This marks the first occurrence of consecutive gains above 20% since the late 1990s. The rally was fueled by robust economic growth, cooling inflation, and a series of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Additionally, enthusiasm surrounding President-elect Donald Trump's pro-business agenda further bolstered investor sentiment. However, as we enter a new year, the market is showing signs of caution. December saw a pullback in equities, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average posting its worst monthly performance in over two years. The S&P 500 also registered its largest monthly loss since April 2024. This correction reflects profit-taking by investors and concerns about the Federal Reserve's revised stance on interest rate cuts.

Understanding Reverse Repo Agreements: The Q1 Liquidity DanceUnderstanding RRPONTSYD: The Quarterly Liquidity Dance and Its Impact on Markets The term RRPONTSYD, which stands for "Overnight Reverse Repurchase Agreements: Treasury Securities Sold by the Federal Reserve," might sound complex, but it's pivotal in understanding financial market behaviors, especially at the end of each quarter. Here’s an exploration of this mechanism, why it spikes, and what it means for liquidity and the stock market. RRPONTSYD is essentially a tool used by the Federal Reserve where it sells securities to banks or financial institutions with the agreement to buy them back the next day. This process acts like a secured overnight loan from the banks to the Fed, designed to manage the money supply in the economy. Its purpose is twofold: to control short-term interest rates by offering a safe place for excess cash and to absorb excess liquidity from the system which could otherwise lead to inflation or push rates below the Fed's target. Every quarter, RRPONTSYD tends to spike due to a combination of tax payments and financial reporting. Large sums are moved to the Treasury General Account for tax obligations, significantly reducing the cash available in banks. Additionally, banks engage in what's known as "window dressing," adjusting their balance sheets to look more robust for quarterly reports by using reverse repos to manage their liquidity or leverage ratios. This spike represents a temporary parking of cash at the Fed, often for earning a small return or to manage financial obligations. The behavior of RRPONTSYD after this spike can have significant implications for markets: If these agreements remain high after a spike, it signals that liquidity is being withheld from circulation. This can lead to higher borrowing costs and less capital available for investment or consumption, potentially resulting in a bearish outlook in the stock market as investors might see this as an indication of a tighter monetary policy or reduced market liquidity. Conversely, a sharp drop in RRPONTSYD after a spike suggests that the cash is re-entering the financial system. This influx of liquidity can lower short-term rates, making borrowing cheaper and encouraging investment. The stock market often reacts positively to this scenario, viewing it as a bullish sign since there's more capital available for stocks, potentially driving up equity prices. Understanding the dynamics of RRPONTSYD offers a window into how monetary policy, liquidity, and market performance are interconnected. Whether these agreements spike and then fall or remain elevated can serve as an indicator for market conditions. However, investors should always interpret these signals within the broader context of economic indicators, Federal Reserve policies, and global financial trends. To conclude, today represents a significant point as the markets open for Q1 2025 as the vast majority were closed through New Years Day. Bullish investors want to see an IMMEDIATE drop in these rates with the most bullish scenario dropping below the 100 billion dollar mark by early next week. A significant drop is the LIKELY scenario as this scenario playing out indicates a high probability of upside continuation for the markets

M2 needs to move to historic trend to avoid massive risks.The United States has the capacity to bailout the retirement system for Boomers and Millennials if we do not blow the "dry powder" of American Exceptionalism on pumping up the economy and markets for political and 1%er gains. America will be at peak Boomer dependence on Social Security & Medicare around 2030 and will not see a reduction of that dependence until more Boomers have crossed the Rainbow Bridge than Xers retiring. During the 2040s there will be a reprieve for the retirement system, but then in the 2050s the Millennials retire putting strain back on. The United States needs a sustained period of 3%+ GDP growth, moderate to low energy prices and productivity gains driven by technology. America should probably also merge & standardize Medicare & Medicaid to eliminate waste and fraud (Trumpcare?), as well as, start putting about 20-25% of Social Security payroll taxes into the S&P 500, 600 & 400 indexes with the rest in special 3% rate UST in the "lockbox" that Al Gore talked about 25 years ago. That will require seed money in the form of $10-20 trillion of QE, aka, the dry powder we can't waste.
