The August jobs report shows the job market is going from frozen to cracking. The only thing keeping this from being a 5-alarm fire is the fact that the labor force grew by +436,000 people. That's a surprise, especially given immigrants are leaving the U.S. labor force.…

The Federal Reserve has to cut in September. And maybe October now. The US economy lost -13,000 jobs in June -->The first negative month since December 2020 (!) There's barely been any job growth in the past 4 months. Almost all the jobs added are in healthcare. Without…

🇺🇸U.S. corn & soybeans are starting to reach maturity, just a hair faster than the recent average but not as quickly as last year. Spring wheat harvest is nearly three-fourths complete.
🇺🇸Last week's US corn and soybean export inspections came in near the top end of expectations, and wheat exceeded them for a second consecutive week. Last week's wheat number (1.02 mmt) was the best since September 2013.
PCE inflation came in just as expected for July: 2.6% (y/y) PCE inflation 2.9% (y/y) "Core" PCE inflation excluding food and energy PCE inflation was up 0.2% for the month Core PCE inflation was up 0.3% for the month Bottom line: Inflation has clearly ticked up from the April…
An eye-popping comparison
