The Morning Look
Market Update:
Futures are higher ahead of Wednesday’s open as markets wait for the Fed this afternoon. On Tuesday, we saw the yield on the German 10-year bund drop into negative territory for the first time in history! That can’t be healthy in the long-run.
Gary’s Thoughts: Today we get Mrs Bubble telling us blah blah blah…is, was , maybe blah blah blah. Amazing markets held hostage on the decision of a whopping 1/4 point or not. That’s what you get when you have central banks running the world with a good $15-20 trillion of printed money, 0% rates forever and now, go look at the matrix we put up at garyk.com on government rates. No bubble? Our arse no bubble!

Gary’s Thoughts: Russia now knows the Socialist party will try and riase tax rates to 90%! - The market remains in pullback mode as the world waits for the Fed meeting and press conference later today…
Gary’s Thoughts: Let’s hope it is just a pullback.
