SPAC issuance has been reduced to a trickle for most of 2022, but now even that is drying up. July is expected to be the first month with no blank check IPOs in over five years. In the last two years, the SPAC market has gone from boom to bust. The pace of new SPAC IPO filings has...
Markets are giddy about a looming recession and a potential Fed pivot. The Fed sees rates rising to 3.8% by the end of 2023. The market sees rate cuts starting in March. The FOMC meeting wasn't as dovish as the market wants to make it seem. The Fed raised rates by anothe...
Rather than making money harder to get, the U.S. government needs to focus on the other side of the demand vs. supply equation. The Fed’s prescription is to suppress demand (borrowing and spending) by raising interest rates. In March 2022, the Federal Reserve tackled inflat...

Initial jobless claims continue to disappoint. Although this week’s release technically fell down to 256K, it was from a 10K upwardly revised number of 261K last week. The pandemic was a volatile time period for jobless claims data as readings rose into the millions. July t...
While this is a technical recession, the Fed is correct to say we aren't in a "real" recession yet since unemployment is still falling and consumers are still spending. Consumers remain under real pressure as inflation puts the squeeze on spending power while the plunge in equity mark...
The Advance Estimate for Q2 GDP came in at -0.9%, an increase from -1.6% for the Q1 Third Estimate. A particularly telling representation of slowing growth in the US economy is the year-over-year rate of change. The average rate at the start of recessions is 3.29%. Eleven of twelv...
