June 13th, 2024 | Tougher For Longer

Juggling Dynamite - Yesterday morning, a milder-than-expected US CPI number boosted hopes that the US Fed may soon start lowering its policy rate. Financial markets pooped on the headline, further loosening financial conditions for some publicly traded companies. Then, a more hawkish Fed announcement in the afternoon lowered 2024 cut expectations from 75 basis points (bps) in the […]

HoweStreet.com Radio - Is the Canadian Real Estate market about to burst?

Juggling Dynamite - This interview offers a lucid top-down review of economic trends and asset markets. Here is a direct video link. As I explained here, I do not share the faith that immigration should prevent Canadian home prices from declining by more than ten percent.

Juggling Dynamite - It is wildly unpopular to say this, but Canadian home prices need to move much lower. And yes, I, too, stand to lose net worth as they do. Immigration is unlikely to prevent mean reversion here. Immigrants need places to live, to be sure, but historically, it took an average of 7 years before immigrants […]

Juggling Dynamite - The lure of easy money delivers time-worn outcomes, once again. See how Real estate investors are wiped out in bets fuelled by Wall Street loans: Lynn Nathe was growing tired of the meager gains from her family’s retirement account.

Juggling Dynamite - Yesterday, the Bank of Canada (BOC) blinked on inflation fears and responded to weak growth and rising unemployment with the first rate cut in four years and the first since the epic tightening cycle began 27 months ago in March 2022. Markets are pricing in another 50 bps of BOC rate cuts by year-end. Canada […]

Juggling Dynamite - The costs of running generative AI are mind-blowing considering energy, training, and materials, while the revenue case is still largely missing. In just one example, Silicon Valley venture capital firm Sequoia estimates that in 2023, the tech industry spent $50 billion on chips from Nvidia to train AI but generated only $3 billion in revenue. […]

Juggling Dynamite - We’ve long noted that their actions tend to be contagious once central banks start easing rates in response to disinflation and weakening global demand.

Here is a direct video link.  

Juggling Dynamite - For a year now, overnight interest rates have been above 5% in Canada and America, while the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has been falling. This has resulted in the highest real interest rates (overnight rate – CPI) in at least 23 years. While very hard on debtors, it’s favourable for savers and it’s long overdue. […]

May 24th, 2024 | We Pick Our Poison

Juggling Dynamite - It’s a worldview thing: bulls celebrate AI euphoria led by Nvidia (chart below courtesy of Bloomberg), driving record-high stock valuations amid overstated job and GDP growth that get revised lower in retrospect. Realists see all this and everything else within the historical context.   With assets priced for perfection, there’s no room for disappointment. The […]
