Those Epi numbers came back great the Dow it's up Bitcoin heading in the right Direction finally am I right this Narrative that inflation is going down And everything's going to get fixed and The fed's going to Pivot we're all going To be rich again well there's a group of People out there that may disagree let's Get it Welcome to people crypto my name is Ben Today we're going to be taking a look at What are the biggest companies the Institutions what are they doing right Now that you should be paying attention To we're getting the news inflation is Down the Dow is up we're going to get Into that and find out I don't know is This a good time for the market to turn Around or are we in for more pain so Let's go and check out the CPI and the Dow the market is showing here you know We sold off a little bit but the market It was right in line with Report with Expectations and I mean that's down Point one percent six months ago when CPI was up one point over one percent on The month over month basis no one would Have ever thought we'd be looking at a Minus point one percent uh CPI for the Month of December so I I think that's Encouraging if you saw CPI even crashing Further that wouldn't be a positive Signal that would be a sign if the Economy is doing really weak uh only
Four percent of CPI readings throughout History since 1950 have been uh less Than minus 0.1 so that would be a pretty Ominous signal I think if you did see a Very weak reading there and but it Sounds like you're suggesting that Actually things are weaker today than These numbers are suggesting and then The question is is that good or bad news In the sort of perverse what does the FED do about it situation The FED really should start to you The fact is every day that goes by we See another indicator suggesting that The economy is weaker rather than Stronger the only thing holding things Up seems to be the employment picture is Is holding in smoke and mirrors that's What we're looking at the CPI numbers Have come back and it looks like Inflation is cooling we have the Dow Climbing more than 200 points the December report showed a point a one Percent dip in prices from November but There's still 6.5 percent higher than The previous year in November the report Showed a point one percent monthly gain An annual pace of 7.1 percent stocks Rallied in recent sessions as investors Bet on the CPI report to confirm a Weakening inflation record which it did However you heard him talk about that Negative CPI number it's only been four Percent of the times in history it's
Been negative and it's negative right Now and that usually means the economy Is actually not that strong so then We've got our December jobs report here Unemployment average wages you guys can See came in lower that's not good that Means we're probably in a well we are in A recession December jobs report payroll Drives By 223 000 unemployment rate Falls to 3.5 percent uh this was Published on Friday last week December's Job report last read on job growth in 2022 showed the labor market remain Strong at the end of the year even as The Federal Reserve raised interest Rates to the highest level in 15 years So we're seeing inflation go down we're Seeing the rates go up and yet somehow As much Financial turmoil as that's Putting on all these businesses not all Of them are laying off yet some are Running pretty strong you got to ask Yourself why The unemployment rate in December fell To 3.5 percent the unemployment rate Came in at 3.468 percent the lowest Since 1969. check this out this jobs added Losses January the year of the pandemic You guys can see what happened there the Unemployment rate has gone down quite Significantly extremely low numbers Right here headline employment gains Have slowed in recent months but hiring
Remains robust despite the fed's efforts To Tamp down a strong labor market that Has placed upward pressure on wages and Contributed to Stubborn inflation indeed Expectations were a soft landing and the Economy have likely been boosted in the Light of today's job report so we think Oh soft Landing is coming guys there Already is not a soft Landing drum Powell has known that for a long time Guys the same way they're saying smoking Mirrors is a sign that the economy is Not as strong as they say it is that's Exactly what they do with the language Around the fed and a recession not a Recession ninety percent of our YouTube Viewers on a poll said we're in Recession guys if it walks like a duck Quacks like a duck the most likely It's a duck all right here we go cooler Inflation mixed with strong labor data Leaves Traders puzzled okay here we go We got inflation data slowed in December Is widely expected but labor market data Remains strong with both initial and Continuing claims coming in lower than Expected Wall Street struggled away how Each would affect future rate hikes Decisions for the Federal Reserve Here you can see the stocks wavering on The news of the CPI report that is Earlier on Thursday and when you poke Under the hood a little more it's clear A lot of the movement is down to
Following prices at the pump these are Inflation numbers so they're saying is The inflation numbers aren't actually as Good as you think they are It's just that gas prices have gone down And that affects the way that people View inflation because obviously if the Price goes down of gas It might look like that's due to the Economy but that's due to the oil Companies lowering the price per barrel Has nothing to do with inflation rents Went up month over month shelters still Remained High people are struggling to Find housing right now DirecTV is the Latest paid TV company to layoff staff Amid the ongoing shift to streaming so a Major company DirecTV they are going to Be laying off 10 of its management staff Here uh layoffs are expected and to be In effect next Friday alphabet jobs well They're getting cut as well why Because they're invested in robots less Than a month ago alphabet's industrial Robotics subsidiary intrinsic Senate Acquired team people from a software Development firm called open robotics on Wednesday intrinsic went in the other Action by laying 40 workers off so what Is going on here we have Google alphabet is Google if you didn't Know At times when chat GPT is going insane And users
