The U.S. Stock market has lost $3.0 trillion just this past month. Home building has contracted in 5 of the last 6 quarters, car purchases are slowing, new home sales and existing home sales are down. A large percentage of third quarter GDP growth came from government spending which is totally bogus. These are deflationary forces and yet the Fed is contracting (taking money out of the system) the money supply to the tune of $80 billion per month with their Quantitative Tightening policy to exchange securities on their balance sheet for money in the economy...meaning the opposite of QE. The Fed is raising short-term interest rates, which is slowing housing, auto sales, and small business spending.
The stock experienced its worst month since October 2008. Stocks look to have completed their multidecade "Jaws of Death pattern", and the decline is now underway...probably.
Take a look at this....
