Richmond Fed Manufacturing Survey Misses 5th Of Last 6 Months

Tyler Durden's picture




 

For the second month in a row, Richmond Fed printed below 0 - which has prompted renewed QE from the Fed, or a recession, in the past. At -3 (worse than the -2 expected), this is the 5th miss of the last 6 months. Under the surface, components improved but New Order Volume, capacity utilization, and shipments all printed a negative contractionary level. While the data bounced, it remains a weak bounce off 2 year lows.

Winning!

In other news... Iranians have seized a US cargo ship and are holding 34 sailors. Should be good for an oil price pop.

We can't afford QE.
And if they do QE 4 it is only a good short at the market top on that stimulation if the markets dont respond and only fall harder on the news of QE.
But u know we are aiming for 300-350 debt to gdp ~ aren't we Kiki? So they can tax us to death as their ain't no getting that camel through the eye of a needle until the country is bankrupt!
