🎤The World’s Central Banker Has Spoken -- And It’s Not the Fed

Good morning. Governments can print money, but they can’t print food. Or energy. That’s the take... It’s the monthly jobs numbers today and they’re not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May. [Trading Tips] Good morning. Governments can print money, but they can’t print food. Or energy. That’s the takeaway from the latest moves by OPEC+ to keep energy prices high. The cartel is cutting production by 2 million barrels per day.

As long as there’s a push to keep interest rates rising and energy prices rising at the same time, most sectors will see a slowdown in demand.
