The FED used the word ''moderate'' regarding 2019 growth in the USA

But his GDP forecast has been cut from 3% in 2018 to 2.3% in 2019

This represents a 23.3% drop

I expect therefore the DJIA for example to drop 23% from its 2018 high in the next 6 months

Markets being forward computer driven things

Hence DJIA of 20,680 is my call by end of June 2019



This should equate to FTSE 100 hitting 6042

LOL..Diku..I am in Boston at the moment and I am watching US news. Trump is looking more like a Chump everyday.

Catch up on how many FBI, DOJ and CIA investigations are going on into Trump and his family.

China hasn't moved on tariffs, Mexico will not be paying for his wall and the Russia probe looks like Trump is an amateur in comaparison to Vladimir.

No, no, no, the Yanks can keep Trump, but give him his due, he has conned and lied his way to being in the most powrful job in the World...'Only in America

[buywell3] 19/12/2018 23:05

Today we saw a reversal in the USA DJIA of around 750 points as the FED stated its rates plans


USA Banks and Financials got creamed.


There is now no reason not to believe that the same will now happen with UK Banks and Financials

Do we really want to be associated with these scumbags!




The EU fights back with its OWN no deal doomsday plans: Juncker threatens to

ground British flights and kick out UK expats if there is no Brexit deal as bitter

standoff intensifies



•The EU commission unveiled details of its own preparations for no-deal Brexit

•UK airlines would have their operations curbed under the contingency plans

"Sky Sources say five banks will be left holding about £75m of shares in the construction group Kier tomorrow."

No mention of our domestic Post Office to coin a phrase!

Sky news, he did said 'stupid woman'..But in my opinion he is more stupid than her. I can't see him as leader of the opposition for very long.

Tim Martin knows, you know.....




'They have NO idea!' Wetherspoon boss Tim Martin attacks MPs over customs union IGNORANCE




“It is worrying that MPs have no knowledge at all as to how the customs operates and how it costs their constituents every day.”




WETHERSPOON boss and ardent Brexiteer Tim Martin has written to every MP in

Britain to express his dismay that a large number of politicians have "no idea"

how the EU’s “protectionist” customs union works.



Mr Martin claimed that many MPs have “no knowledge at all” on how the trade bloc

impacts their constituents, This is Money reports. The Brexit-backing chairman of

the JD Wetherspoon chain said the customs union results in additional taxes on

more than 12,500 items such as oranges, rice and children’s clothes, which drive

up prices for consumers. He said: “The customs union pushes up prices for

consumers and the tariff income is collected by the UK Government and is sent to

Brussels.


I’ve campaigned for no deal because it enables you on March 29 to copy Singapore,

New Zealand and Australia and adopt a free trade approach.

“You save £39bn, you regain control of fishing and you reduce prices for British

consumers. That’s what Brexit really is.

"We will be able to do a deal at some stage with the EU, but the problem is people

prioritised a deal, particularly Theresa May; it's become not leaving, it's let's

have a deal at all costs."

Speaking last week, Mr Martin called on Mrs May to resign over her handling of

Brexit.

He said the Prime Minister was still a Remainer at heart, despite her pledge to

guide Britain out of the EU, and believed the “myth” that leaving with no deal

would be a disaster.

And what chance Dow goes up 800 points tomorrow...santa rally...

[polar fox] 19/12/2018 21:14

After a bad afternoon on Wall Street, FTSE is about 85 points down from our close atm. It may well recover some of that overnight.

[diku] 19/12/2018 20:54

Trump will be furious...at least he has somebody to blame....the Fed...

[careful] 19/12/2018 20:50

Dow 400 down, but bouncing all over the place.
Fed trying to let down the bubble slowly.
Discouraging more debt, encouraging reduction of debt.
About time, Trump will be furious.

If £ falls after a hard Brexit, interest rates may have to rise here according to Carney.
Goodbye property market and shares.

Worrying times.

Maybe he goes out in a disguise...pumped up hair with a thick moustache...I can see a picture coming!...

[smurfy2001] 19/12/2018 20:39

Wish the UK BoE had as much balls as the FED we need higher rates.

[m4rtinu] 19/12/2018 20:35

Corbyn defo said (or at v least) mouthed "stupid woman". As a Lab supporter I am annoyed as it diverts attention. I think May is worse than stupid; I think she is untrustworthy. In addition, planning for "no deal" is a waste of time and money. A no deal Brexit would cost the country multiples of our regular EU contribution. We must stay in and build relationships to address concerns over free movement and get change. Basically you only really have to convince Fr Merkel or her successor and that would be job done.

I wonder where that "stupid man" Cameron is sunning himself.

[careful] 19/12/2018 20:30

Redwood is an historian turned into a sort of finance man.
I wonder if he is short the uk market and £ stirling.
We all talk our book because we get creamed if the market goes against us.

[polar fox] 19/12/2018 20:27

The DOW has sold off about 900 points since the FF rate rise, 90 minutes ago.

Hasn't World war III happened yet?...thought we were at IV or V...

[grahamite2] 19/12/2018 19:43

From Max's link:

Several respected groups and individuals have issued dire warnings about the consequences for the UK if a "no-deal" divorce was to happen, with the Foreign Policy group saying it would "destroy the British economy" and former attorney general Dominic Grieve claimed it would lead to a state of emergency.

What about World War III? They slipped up there!

To be fair to Sky, in their very next para they say many people say it's all the usual guff.
