The US is building factories at a wildly fast rate​

  • New data from the Census Bureau reveals construction spending by US manufacturers more than doubled from last year.
  • The US government has offered billions of dollars in subsidies in the electric vehicles, semiconductor, and solar panels industries.
  • The US added around 800,000 jobs in manufacturing over the last two years to compete with countries such as China.
Last year, production at American factories increased — and so did the production of factories themselves.

I’m tech heavy, but have positions in other large cap value stocks as well outside my top holdings.

I’ve been slowly accumulating amazon.

Only 3 misses on here. All outside top 5 and mainly due to wokeness (TGT and Disney) and I don’t know what’s wrong with Abnb.

A little early for a victory lap. But it’s nice to be up for a change.

Tomorrow is CPI. I believe we are going to see a drop in inflation, for May. The economy Is slowing down and food/energy is stable, if not dropping also.

Now, if the Biden Administration would do some serious diplomacy with Russia and Ukraine, we'll be off to the races.

Maybe we should approach Xi and have some proxy diplomacy on each side. I’m pretty sure Putin won’t talk to us.

Core CPI is still 5.3 and Powell said he was wanting it at 2. It hasn’t been dropping like CPI.

You’re right, but core CPI was 7.2 in March. It’s the service sector that remains stubbornly high.More jobs equal more spending.

Not sure core CPI was 7.2 in March. It has been between 5 and 6.5 since 2021. CPI has been dropping a bunch.
 
It’s absolute bull crap that there will be 2 more hikes. They said that to cover their ****s, just in case. By keeping the rates higher longer will do the trick. Why raise, and then have to cut.
Also year to year CPI will drop even more when the higher numbers, from last year, are dropped from the equation.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

From the article:

Two members indicated they don’t see hikes this year while four saw one increase and nine, or half the committee, expect two. Two more members added a third hike while one saw four more, again assuming quarter-point moves.

I say it’s said to curb speculation. When the true numbers are revealed, I’m betting no hike. Then again, I’m starting to second guess like that guy in Princess Bride.

I suspect you're right, but that itself is quite the statement.
