Goldman Sachs Group (the) Stock News

Key Events This Week: ECB, BOE, Payrolls, Euro CPI And Earnings Galore It''s a relatively busy week with several key central bank announcements, notably from the ECB and BOE, as well as European CPI updates and the US payrolls report on Friday. Starting with the ECB, Deutsche Bank economists now expect a policy rate liftoff in December 2022 of 25bps, a view apparently shared by the market this morning. Theyre also anticipating a faster pace of tightening, with 25bp hikes in the deposit rate per quarter from December 2022, until rates reach +0.5% in September 2023. In terms of what it means for this February meeting, they write in their preview that they expect the slow, step-by-step pivot to exit will continue. Their view is that President Lagarde will reiterate the ECBs capacity to act once the inflation criteria in the rates guidance are met, whilst at the same time differentiating the needs of the Euro Area from the US. The other central bank decision that day is from the Bank of England, where expectations are for the BoE to follow up their December rate hike with another 25bps increase, taking the Bank Rate to 0.5%.

Greenwald: Pressure Campaign To Remove Joe Rogan From Spotify Reveals Liberal Religion Of Censorship Authored by Glenn Greenwald , American liberals are obsessed with finding ways to silence and censor their adversaries. Every week, if not every day, they have new targets they want de-platformed, banned, silenced, and otherwise prevented from speaking or being heard (by "liberals, I mean the term of self-description used by the dominant wing of the Democratic Party ). Joe Rogan interviews Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on Aug. 6, 2019, roughly six months before he endorsed the Vermont independent for president. For years, their preferred censorship tactic was to expand and distort the concept of "hate speech to mean "views that make us uncomfortable, and then demand that such hateful views be prohibited on that basis. For that reason, it is now common to hear Democrats assert, falsely , that the First Amendment''s guarantee of free speech does not protect hate speech." Their political culture has long inculcated them to believe that they can comfortably silence whatever views they arbitrarily place into this category without being guilty of censorship.

Putin Has The Power To Intensify Europe''s Energy Crisis By Haley Zaremba of OilPrice.com , Summary Europes energy crisis has already cost governments tens of billions of dollars and a looming confrontation with Russia would only make that worse . European households are already set to see a 54% increase in the cost of gas and electricity despite the best efforts by governments to keep prices down Russia provides about 40% of Europes natural gas, and if Russia does invade Ukraine and European governments respond with sanctions, there is a chance that supply could be cut off Europes energy crunch is intensifying even as governments across the continent struggle to stop the crisis through stop-gap policy measures and subsidies. The past year has seen a stunning 330% surge in gas prices across European markets, hitting consumers extremely hard at the same time that the global economy is attempting to recover from and adapt to the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic.

Wall Street Banks Award Billions More In Bonuses To Top Earners Regular Americans struggling to make ends meet as inflationary pressures drive prices higher on everything from fast food to cars to rent are seeing wages rising thanks to a labor crunch that we have discussed in more detail here. Unfortunately for many, rising wages still aren''t enough. But bankers aren''t having that problem. From Wall Street to Europe and beyond, bankers have been lavished with massive bonuses following the dealmaking bonanza of the last two years. And over the last day or so, we have seen a flurry of headlines in the financial press touting new bonus packages at BofA, Deutsche Bank and Goldman. Bloomberg reported yesterday that Bank of America had decided to take a $1 billion pool of company shares and use it to distribute bonuses to nearly all of the bank''s employees. 97% of the bank''s workforce is eligible: The incentive, to come on top of regular compensation, goes to staff who earn as much as $500,000 a year, according to a memo from Chief Executive Officer Brian Moynihan.

Can You Sidestep The U.S. Stock Collapse By Abandoning The Dollar And Looking Overseas Submitted by QTR''s Fringe Finance I’ve been guiding my personal investing over the last few months by whether or not I think the U.S. is entering a longer term market wreck or another 3 month bump in the road like we saw in early 2020. After all, if we are at a spot where we can shake it off and “buy the dip” were to work again, why wouldn’t you be keen to adopt the strategy of “if you can’t beat the lobotomized automaton active manager buying the dip, join ‘em.” But my readers already know that I don’t feel this way. In fact, I believe the Fed to be in a true catch 22 - stuck between not being able to raise rates, which would very likely crash markets further, and the inability to maintain accommodative monetary policy, which could fan the flames of inflation (or at least appear to fan the flames of inflation from a psychological and political spin perspective). You see, the inflation is the key here.

Even One Of The Biggest Bears Expects A Post-Fed Rally Larry McDonald, author of the Bear Traps report has, for much of the past year been, as his publication''s name implies, one of the bigger market bears-cum-commodity bulls, correctly expecting and predicting the violent reversal in growth and value names we are currently observing. But not even Larry believes that today''s Fed announcement will precipitate a crash: after all, for all the "inflation fighting credibility posturing" the last thing the Fed will ever risk is a full market crash and as recent market events have clearly warned Powell, it will take just one word out of place for the world''s most hyperfinancialized economy to collapse right after its market. Below we excerpt from McDonald''s latest Bear Traps Report in which he lays out his short-term and longer-term trading strategy following today''s 2pm main event, with the following punchline: "The slightest backtrack is all that is needed to trigger a large counter trend rally gold and silver miners will be 15-25% higher on any softening of the language. " The beast inside the market is NOT happy it all started the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
