A contributor remarked that screenshots of the same economic news item in popular media show it 'accounted for' both fall and rise of prices on six occasions over 24hrs, lol; here are choice others:
"US stocks were higher Thursday as jobless claims rose to their highest levels since January. " (YAY! Fed will have to ease! BUY STONKS!)
"Analysts' per-share earnings estimates for the next 12 months will likely be revised lower over the course of the Q2 earnings season, which could weigh on share prices, Oxford Economics said in a research note." (YAY! These ERs will be the worst ever, so it can't get any moar bad! BUY STONKS!)
"Wall Street benchmarks rose on Thursday, as investors reacted positively to the previous day's commentary from the U.S. Federal Reserve which hinted the central bank's aggressive pace of interest rate hikes could be tempered if growth suffered." (YAY! J-Powell will dial it back! BUY STONKS!)
Unemployment > up, inflation > up, rates > up and more hikes coming, but Hopium reaction: BUY STONKS!!! Why not?! The only game in town... testing DTL at the 50 DMA... CPI will be the test IMO
