Philly Fed Misses, Market Soars As Inflation Roars Back With Prices Paid Doubling

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Love bizarro day, Embrace bizarro day, Have its child. The Philly Fed missed consensus of -15.0, printing at -17.5, though better than last month's abysmal -30.7 print... and stocks rip on expectations of more, more, more, intervention. As for how QE will work when the Philly Fed just announced its Prices Paid category doubled from 12.8 to 23.2... well, it don't matter to Jesus.

From the report:

"Responses to the Business Outlook Survey this month suggest that regional manufacturing activity is continuing to contract, but declines are less widespread than in August. The survey’s broad indicators for activity, shipments, and new orders all remained negative for the second consecutive month. Responding firms, however, indicated that employment was slightly higher this month. The broadest indicator of future activity remained positive and rebounded this month, suggesting that recent declines are not expected to continue over the next six months."

And on Inflation, which is back:

Increasing costs were somewhat more widespread this month compared to last month. Nearly 29 percent of firms reported paying higher prices for inputs this month. Only 6 percent reported lower prices. The prices paid diffusion index increased 10 points, its first one?month increase in seven months.

You can't fix manufacturing without first recognising that the US government through all of its war/security/global police spending is effectively subsidising Chinese manufacturing by keeping international trade costs artificially low.

Oh wait, so the US is subsidizing China? Right, and all along I thought Chinese workers helped to keep inflation low worldwide for years by working for peanuts.

That is also true — but it wouldn't be possible if America hadn't sabotaged its economy with massive, massive, massive military spending in the pursuit of global stability. Chinese goods are far more competitive because the transit is being subsidised. Without America playing world policeman, China would have had to develop its own domestic market (as well as other Eurasian markets), much more to achieve the same levels of output.

Who the fuck appointed Amerika "the world policeman"? Or elected, for that matter.

OTOH imagine how much could have Amerika bought from China if it DIDNT spend that much on militarization.

Worry not, they just ran this short squeeze up near the top Bollinger band and the bands are still contracting. Robots do not violate the bands, it's against their programming/religion.

Although there's nothing bizarro about the coming margin compression.

 

Rising input prices  vs. declining consumer spending means profit margins are going to get squeezed razor thin.

 

Let's see what happens to corporate earnings then.   The PE ratios of every company on the S&P are going to be *real* bizarro land...   of course,  that kind of bizarro land only exists very briefly -- until we go over the edge...

Another one who has it completly assbackwards-

Today the Inflation trade is on--Gold is down-

What part of all this are you having trouble seeing-

1980-2001 Inflation all the way and Gold did nothing-

So is Gold an Inflation play in your mind?

Pay attention-

I read that aloud to my significant other and she said, "Maybe they've just realized that all the solutions they read about in college textbooks don't work in real life. So they've decided to do all the things that should make things worse, or just random shit? Then see what happens."

Seems as likely as any other explanation, cos whatever IS going on makes no sense to me.

Bizarro world is just another set up designed to manipulate the populace. The people that are paying attention are sitting on the sidelines with gold, silver or cash and awaiting the real news--either the announcement of QE3 or OT2. Either way, the markets are going to blow up, globally, and the people that are busy with DWTS, Idiol and CNBS will be crushed. That's the game; crush as many as possible at one time.
