Good news indeed. Great to see the US economy roaring back to life. Trump's big infrastructure agenda will certainly be a positive development for global inflation and demand - especially for commodities which will further boost the new Perth up-cycle which kicks off next year.
So much for the silly bears who said the US could never raise rates. Meanwhile the price of gold continues to dive. I wouldn't like to be holding too many gold stocks today...
LOL - Simon has been posting article after article proclaiming that the global economy is getting worse, and now he posts one saying that the USA economy is powering along and he thinks it supports his argument.
It's surreal.
Take risks - if you win you will become wealthy, if you lose you will become wise

The International Monetary Fund has cut its forecast for UK economic growth next year as it warned that the global recovery remains "weak and precarious".
What was that:
"Global recovery remains weak and Precarious"
You're just upset because the US Fed is raising rates and now the Real Fun Begins....
Eight years after the financial crisis, the world is suffering from a debt hangover of unprecedented proportions.
Gross debt in the non-financial sector has more than doubled in nominal terms since the turn of the century, reaching $152 trillion last year, and it’s still rising, the International Monetary Fund said. The figure includes debt held by governments, non-financial firms and households.
Current debt levels now sit at a record 225 percent of world gross domestic product, the IMF said Wednesday in its semi-annual Fiscal Monitor, noting that about two-thirds of the liabilities reside in the private sector. The rest of it is public debt, which has increased to 85 percent of GDP last year from below 70 percent.
And the US Fed just raised rates and is looking to raise again in 2017 and 2018
Tell me again how much cheaper everything will be.........Oh wait.

"The truth is that there are no good men, or bad men. It is the deeds that have goodness or badness in them. There are good deeds, and bad deeds. Men are just men."
After many years of promising rate hikes they delivered just one in Dec 2015. They then promised 4 more would follow in 2016 and instead delivered on just one. What I've learned is whatever the Fed says or promises is the complete opposite of reality.

Bingo. IMO the US will go through massive inflation over the coming years.

It's pure fantasy they will raise rates another 3 times in 12 months. I'm sure they will lift again, but it'll be another 12 months warning to let it sink in.

Having said they would so many times, they had to raise rates just to maintain credibility. And look at the immediate aftermath. Massive moves in forex especially USD/JPY and the biggest crash on record for Chinese Bonds. What's next?
Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
