BoC Market Musings: a dovish speech, CPI preview and a lower neutral rate.
BoC Senior Deputy Governor Wilkins gave a dovish speech in NYC last evening. First, Wilkins mentioned that low inflation
was one of many reasons justifying the BoC cautious approach regarding the swift withdrawal of further stimulus. Some of
the key passages that caught our attention are: “There are also times when uncertainty can lead to caution or patience.
Just three weeks ago, the Bank decided to leave the policy rate unchanged… One of the motivations for caution is that
inflation has been in the lower end of the inflation target bands of 1 to 3 per cent for quite some time…the central bank
puts a greater weight on the downside risks when inflation is low to begin with.”
Borrowing costs for middle-market debt issuers generally declined during the third quarter, despite a modest increase in leverage levels and little change in benchmark rates. The Fed, as expected, left benchmark interest rates unchanged in the third quarter, but did announce a program to gradually reduce its balance sheet from $4.5 trillion (a result of recessionary quantitative easing) to $3 trillion over the next three years. Thus, the prevailing combination of low borrowing costs, high leveragability and a generally benign default rate outlook, presents an attractive backdrop for issuance. This "perfect storm" of market conditions provides a compelling (albeit narrowing) window for middle-market issuers.

In CBO’s projections, economic output is expected to grow by 2.3 percent in 2019, supporting strong labor market conditions that feature low unemployment and rising wages. After 2019, economic growth averages 1.8 percent per year, which is less than the historical average.
CBO estimates that the federal budget deficit for 2019 will be $960 billion. Under current law, budget deficits are projected to average $1.2 trillion a year between 2020 and 2029, boosting debt held by the public to 95 percent of GDP in that year—its highest level since just after World War II.
Is it time to buy the U.S. in early June?
An oil and materials price bottom is fully in. That is bullish risk. The S&P500 can finish 2016 above 2200, which is a +5%
return. Another big positive: A U.S. 5.0% unemployment rate adds consumer momentum via pending wage pressure. This
builds incomes.
U.S. shares have recovered. Watch for bullish S&P500 breaks of 2,100 in June or later.
Before the Aug. 2015 sell-off, the S&P500 traded at 16.6x forward earnings vs. a 10-year average of 14.1x. The Feb index
traded at 15.2. The June 2016 index trades at 16.7x forward earnings. Bearishly, we trade a bit above valuation levels of
August 2015.
Zacks strategists still call an S&P500 at 2,200 to 2,300 by yearend, given a 15% chance of U.S. recession (including me).
10 market themes to keep an eye on during the 1st quarter of 2023.
This collection of market insights highlights 10 themes we believe are most likely to shape the investment environment this quarter.
2022 Was A Difficult (and Historic) Year for Stocks & Bonds
Mega Cap Stocks Underperformed During 2022
Fixed Income Yields Sit Above Long-term Averages
Energy Prices Reverse Lower After Spiking During Early 2022
Headline Inflation Has Peaked, but Key Categories are Still Rising
Labor Market Shortage Could Keep Wage Inflation High
Consumer Sentiment Rebounds from Record Low as Inflation Eases
Wall Street Forecasts Single-Digit Earnings Growth in 2023
U.S. Housing Market Shows the Impact of Interest Rate Hikes
More Banks Are Tightening Lending Standards
Our October 2010 Newsletter is now available. The Newsletter Article, “Can The Fed Boost The Economy?” discusses the four things that Fed Chair Bernanke said that the Fed could do to boost the economy. The article explains how each of the 4 options he proposed would affect your company’s future. Our second article, “In Case You Didn’t Notice, The Recession Ended In June 2009?” addresses the real meaning of the recessionary slide ending before the stimulus had any impact and what it will take for the economy to have a strong recovery. Our final article, “Is The Real Employment Picture Still Deteriorating?” talks about the negative meaning of last Friday’s Labor Department unemployment report and its long term implications.
We expect the Bank of Canada to keep its overnight
rate unchanged at 0.50% next week.
The Bank is likely to echo its recent statements that the downside risks to inflation have increased, leading to an overall dovish tone to the statement and accompanying Monetary Policy Report. We expect the Bank to remain on the sidelines until 2019.
Recent fiscal and macroprudential policies have helped ease some of the pressure off the Bank of Canada, with last week’s new housing sector measures removing some of the downside risks from household imbalances.

1) key economic conditions that the FED is looking closely at and its significance to their policy as to whether they are going to raise interest rates in 2015;
2) From your reading of the material, how does the FED's action impact financial markets (bonds, stocks, money markets);
3) Has Chair Yellen's recent comments (and feel free to explore other members of the FED eg Gov. Brainerd who has spoken to CNBC other day) changed from last meeting? How?; and
4) You can use any opinions written by financial experts (you can find their analysis on CNBC, CNN, Marketwatch et al) just make sure to footnote or provide sources.

Over the past thirty years the neutral real interest rate across developed economies has declined substantially. Evidence suggests that secular rather than transitory factors are driving its decline. A lower neutral interest rate implies that the cumulative amount of tightening required for monetary policy to become neutral is much smaller than previously thought.

What happens to income that households do not spend? This DataPost entry considers savings and how deferred spending relates to interest rates and inflation.
“Money” actually includes various forms of payment—not just coins, bills, credit, and checks. This DataPost tutorial walks through the various types of payment that contribute to our notion of “money” in the United States.
Inflation: Measuring Price Changes This DataPost tutorial looks at the Fed’s key measure of inflation—the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index—including how it relates to the concepts of "core" and "total" inflation in the U.S. economy.
GDP is one of the key measures of a nation’s economic performance. This DataPost outlines the components of GDP and places these components within the context of recent values published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?
Well for those who haven't traded with a pi merchant or who don't already have one. I will leave the telegram id of my personal pi merchant who i trade pi with.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges.
However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.
The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons.
If you want to sell your pi coins, reach out to a pi vendor and sell them to anyone looking to sell pi coins from any country around the globe.
