Trade Deficit Data and Central Banks Around The World More Dovish

Cory
March 7, 2019

Raghee Hornor, Future and Currency Expert at Simpler Trading joins me to recap the growing trade deficit data as well as the Bank of Canada and ECB statements all from yesterday. As the US trade deficit continues to grow we are also seeing the central banks around the world turn more dovish. Although the Bank of Canada and ECB are on hold they are in a more dovish hold than the Fed. All this data and news needs to be filtered to determine what is driving the markets and even more so sentiment.

    @IslandLogger posted at Ceo dot CA “Unfunded liabilities” is a euphemism for cash cows we haven’t the political will to kill off. E.g., Medicare is commonly-held to be the most critical/expensive future unfunded liability, in the US. Straw man, as the fixes are trivially-easy. How many know that 26% of every Medicare dollar gets sent to the PRIVATE insurance companies, as a subsidy to help “Medicare Advantage”, their private alternative, up & running. Americans have been paying to get Medicare Advantage “up & running” since the 1980s. We pay 26% more, for each patient in “Advantage”, and oh by the way, people go back to traditional Medicare as soon as they get seriously-ill, because traditional’s coverage is better. Ending that 26% subsidy, alone, would go a long way towards fixing Medicare’s “unfunded liability”.

    There’s plenty more. First of all, remember how the problem with ACA was that we needed more younger, healthy people to sign up? How about the deal the private insurance companies have? They get to bill Americans for 45 years, then as soon as you get old & sick, off you go to govt-run Medicare? More. Did people know Medicare pays MORE, not less, than the private insurers for many procedures and medical devices. E.g., for prosthetics & orthotics, for lab work (fluids testing), for physical therapy, etc.. Fixed-income Granny also pays, with her monthly Medicare payment, to educate every medical resident in the country, costing an average of over $600 thousand dollars for every resident trained.

    There are PLENTY of fixes for “unfunded liabilities”. Problem is, they require shoving entrenched interests away from the feed trough, and making them compete for a living.

    Medicare Advantage, also known as “private Medicare,” traces its roots back to the 1970s, when politicians insisted private companies could deliver Medicare benefits better and more cheaply than traditional “government” Medicare. That wasn’t a bad idea. Competition could help, and maybe private companies really could do it for less.

    But that’s not the way it worked out. By the time Obamacare was being debated in 2009, Medicare Advantage was more expensive, not less. It was getting a fat 14% federal subsidy over traditional Medicare, and insurers used some of the extra cash to gold-plate their plans, delivering goodies unavailable in traditional Medicare, such as free gym memberships, prescription glasses and hearing aids.

    RSI14) beginning to diverge with lower price in most shorter time frames…This should help some bounce next week,,,,,news is not horrendous yet….if this is an intermediate top forming it will take a few more days to reveal itself…good luck to traders…/Es bounce to 2767 TAS point of control is very possible…then the market reveals its true nature

    GDX has finally turned the 89/100 week MA into support. You can see what happened after it struggled beneath it for months last spring/summer…
    http://schrts.co/vbynUgFv

    That big drop into September has bottled enough energy to push GDX much higher than the current level.

    trading cycle now…A recount shows this may actually be a mild trading cycle low forming here inside a continuing intermediate cycle…..I am on the side line….The acumulation/disribution line i use has turned hard down on an intermediate time frame…so, it is confusing yet….This may prove to be a mild profit take event…good luck to traders

    AXU is looking great today. I show that it gapped above long term resistance today. The weekly looks pretty good too and all the indicators are starting turn up.All the indicators are turning up. Still some room on the weekly RSI so probably one more move up looks like is in the cards. Leader of the junior silver miner pack just like in 2016. Just my two cents FWIW.

    Mar 08, 2019 08:52 AM

    GDXJ has some resistance in the 32.50 area…
