The Inflation “Sleigh Ride” – TMSpotlight by Les Parker

11.18.24 The Inflation "Sleigh Ride" ----------------- Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing, ten years cratering, too, Come on, it's lame-duck weather for a slow ride to low rates with you. When the final advent candle is lit, will rates rise or slide fifty basis points? The answer should come this week. The bearish trend, uncertainty over the fiscal sanity of the Advanced Economies, and the significant political obstacles for Trump’s administration to deliver lower inflation within a year support 5% when sleigh bells ring. The bulls need mistletoe to find a prince among the frogs of declining Oil, wakening Europe, and a lame-duck Yellen Biden on defense without a snow machine. Sleigh Ride with you. --------------------- Song: Sleigh Ride (1949) Lyrics paired with it in 1950. Jack Jones
