Headline on CNBC: Trump announced

Headline on CNBC: Trump announced no more stimulus talks until after election

Goldnice, thanks for those LT charts. 

Hypothesis: The riots will lead to more government spending, both government programs and Fed money printing, hence markets kind of like it. Maybe market participants have now been trained that bad news = good news (more liquidity will be provided) that the PPP doesn't even have to buy anything. Just a thought.

Justice Dept to hit Google

Justice Dept to hit Google with anti-trust, only down about 1.5% after hours, I guess investors figure that litigation will drag out forever.

The question is -- are infections really up or does it just look that way because we have a lot more testing? A lot of debate on that. I'm not sure that we know yet.

A good argument for why,

A good argument for why, in spite of the money printing, inflation is not what's right around the corner...

ES trading down about 28

ES trading down about 28 points and falling...quite possibly another nice gap down in the morning

I agree. Excellent interview. Lacy Hunt makes a pretty convincing case that deflation is the likely place we're headed. Which isn't good. If there's any inflation or hyperinflation out there it's probably many years away. His analysis made more sense than anything else I've read.

Seems like what's going on now is more of what we've had though the whole bull market -- nothing as good for the market as the Fed and the Treasury adding how many trillions in liquidity? The market seems to continue to value money printing more than everything else combined.

Steve/Matt -- Looks like that rounded top from the chart yesterday and last night might be playing out on the 30 min chart

Disciple33 -- thanks for the link. Interestingly enough I listened to it when it came out and it makes good sense to me. 

Re: Comex gold inventory...I hope gold goes to the moon because I have a significant holding, but the current inventory issues are very much impacted by the difficulty to transfer holdings from London as well as the shutting down of mines and refiners because of the virus. I'm well aware that gold bulls have been predicting for as long as I can remember that eventually demands for delivery would overwhelm the "paper gold" market but I guess I'll believe it when I see it. In the meantime the action is gold is clearly bullish which I'm happy about but I've seen gold get beaten up on breakouts enough times in my life to curb my enthusiasm just a little :-)

Oh, and thanks for all your posts -- some really interesting ones and some great charts!

I've noticed that most of my friends and neighbors are optimistic about the economy coming back quickly and about the market coming back. Perhaps some combination of a natural desire for good outcomes and the life experience of the long bull market. When I suggest that neither might be true, that this could be a long and difficult and painful slog, they don't want to hear it. So I've quit having that conversation. I think the idea that we might not be roaring back is too painful for most people to hear. FWIW
