ZERO HEDGE.  ECONOMICS


The Dow rallied over 150 points, breaking the losing streak and avoiding the worst run since 1978!! Yesterday's bounce off the 50DMA seems so perfectly orchestrated...


From record complacency to panic and back in just a few days... The last two days have seen the fastest reversal in VIX since the election...


WTI and RBOB ended the day higher - despite a stronger dollar - but faded for most of the day after the opening gap...

"The divergence is stunning. Upside surprises appear to be completely driven by the soft data... we would not necessarily expect 'hard data' surprise indices to start racing higher if the factors behind the 2Q growth rebound remain narrowly confined to a few sectors as we expect..."
----

More than 47% of respondents said they expect equities to move higher in the next 12 months, a surge of nearly 50% compared to recent prints, and prompted entirely by the Trump "animal spirits".

"Americans' confidence in the U.S. economy tumbled along with the Dow Jones industrial average last week. Though still in positive territory, Gallup's U.S. Economic Confidence Index (ECI) dropped six points to a score of +5 for the week ending March 26. This is the lowest weekly average since the presidential election in November." - Gallup

"I can’t help but laugh at the sounds of crickets coming from the Trump bulls’ camp. Not that long ago these nutjobs were overwhelming markets with their overly optimistic economic growth assumptions.... Suddenly everyone is dumping equities and greenbacks, while chasing US fixed income higher."

No leader can reverse the dynamics of mutually reinforcing crises.

US Home Prices rose at 5.7% year-over-year in January, according to the latest data from Case-Shiller. This is the fastest rate of price appreciation since July 2014. The six-month lagged response to the surge in mortgage rates suggests things may be about to slow down dramatically though...

At the top, with annual price increases of 10% or more, we find the usual west coast (and thus closest to China) suspects: Seattle and Portland, followed close behind by Denver and Dallas, which appears to be enjoying the recent revival in shale.

POLITICS


"We’re starting to hear growing concerns that a government shutdown at the end of April may be a real possibility given the rise of the Freedom Caucus.... What’s currently playing out triggers flashbacks of the summer of 2011 when the US was downgraded by S&P as a polarized Congress wasn’t able to raise the debt ceiling quickly enough."
----

New DNC Chair Tom Perez:  "What we're trying to do is culture change.  We're repairing a plane at 20,000 feet. You can't land the plane, shut it down, and close it until further notice."
----

"I don’t see Trump as an evil Mule character in this Shakespearian tragedy, as it progresses towards its ill-fated denouement... Dalio, Soros and their fellow billionaires see populism as a threat to their wealth, power, and control of the world. But, it’s much ado about nothing. It’s like jockeying for the best seat on the Titanic as it sinks into the frigid ocean depths of the Atlantic. The American Empire is in shambles and no one can reverse its course at this point."
----

"You know what this says?" Trump asked a miner before he signed the order on Tuesday. "You’re going back to work."

"We're going to go in a different direction.  The previous administration devalued workers with their policies. We can protect the environment while providing people with work."

"Serious questions need to be asked. Why did FBI head James Comey outsource his job to CrowdStrike, and why did he heap praise on the company? Something stinks here, and the FBI needs to be held to account."

Commentators seem split into three camps: those who see Trump as a manifestation of smouldering social/economic ills, those who see Trump and his supporters as the cause of those ills, and those who see Trump as both manifestation and cause of those ills.

I think this misses the point, which is the overlapping crises unfolding in this decade– diminishing returns on skyrocketing debts, the demographics of an aging populace, the erosion of the social contract and the profound disunity of political elites–will continue expanding and feeding on each other regardless of who is in power.

Historical analysis seems to swing between the “Big Man/Woman” narrative that views individuals as the drivers of history, and the “Big Forces/it’s all economics” narrative that sees individual leaders as secondary to the broad sweep of forces beyond the control of any individual or group.

So while the mainstream views President Lincoln as the linchpin of the Civil War–his election triggered the southern secession–from the “Big Forces/it’s all economics” view, Lincoln was no more than the match that lit a conflict that was made inevitable by forces larger than the 1860 election.

The tension between these two narratives is valuable, as history cannot be entirely reduced to individual decisions or broad forces (weather, resource depletion, financial crisis, geopolitical upheaval, demographics, plague, etc.). The dynamic interplay between the two shapes history.
