Monthly trade setups are much easier when CPI prints after the 30y auction. Trump crosscurrents notwithstanding, expect some long-end pressure this week especially with OBBB now law of the land

Yes! And flash floods, just by nature of how they happen, create streams with HELLA nasty crosscurrents.

it's interesting to think about the emotional crosscurrents here, the way eg internalized homophobia or transphobia can create a pressure on people which allows them to be weaponized against their own.

While most Democrats have opposed President Trump's decision to attack Iran, their responses reveal differences over Middle East policy and national security that loom over the party’s future. The crosscurrents date back more than two decades to the war in Iraq. nyti.ms/4kYDoxS

Don't be fooled... this is a weak US labor market

⚠️The labor market is under significant pressure from conflicting crosscurrents. Labor supply has taken a meaningful hit from aging demographics and a historic drop in #immigration, but labor demand has been weakening even faster
