US Economy Added a Big 312,000 Jobs in December, Unexpectedly Smashing Expectations
Economy adds 312,000 jobs in December, blowing past forecasts.
0.4% increase in wages as well. The unemployment rate edged up to 3.9%, but that could very well be linked to the increased number of "job leavers," people leaving jobs voluntarily -- which is a sign of a healthy economy. People don't feel trapped in a job they don't actually want when there are more jobs available. In addition, the jobs numbers from the past two months were also adjusted upwards. November's job creation numbers were increased from an earlier reading of 155,000 to 176,000, and Octobers were increased from 237,000 to 274,000. In total, 58,000 more jobs were created than originally thought. And who knows how many jobs Trump Saved! (We should begin insisting the media report on Trump's Jobs Saved figures.) Meanwhile, the Dow jumped 700 points after the Fed promised it would be more patient about further rate hikes.Did I say 700 points? It's up to 816 points.
Stocks rallied on Friday after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the central bank will be patient in raising rates, quelling fears of tighter monetary policy in the near future. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 700 as Boeing, UnitedHealth and 3M outperformed. The S&P 500 rallied 3.2 percent, with the tech sector gaining more than 4 percent. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 4.1 percent. "As always, there is no preset path for policy," Powell said. "And particularly with muted inflation readings that we've seen coming in, we will be patient as we watch to see how the economy evolves."

Powell wants to keep raising rates. That would be bad for equities, so I suspect it is more a combination of a very good jobs print, and the old adage that "nothing goes to hell in a straight line." After December, things were probably a bit oversold and it's correcting. It'll go down again - I think we're in for a jerky but overall downward move for a goodly while.

Simpler, President Trump CORRECTLY called them out on tanking the Stock Market.
The last thing the Fed Res wants is for normal Americans to understand exactly what the Fed system is, and how it is a Leach on the American people and Economy...
And how much power this unelected PRIVATE group have.
The whole system is built on Faith... and they know if that Faith is ever seriously challenged, the entire system crashes... and it WILL bring on the Peasants with Pitchforks and Torches.

For the record, I'm one of those "job leavers" benefiting from Trump's

(was supposed to be temp-to-perm within 180 days of starting, 4-1/2
years ago...), with no health benefits, no vacation time, and no 401(k)
or other retirement options next Friday, and then starting a new,
permanent gig, with an almost 25% raise plus all those benefits the following Tuesday.

Obama added $10 trillion to the national debt but only something like $6 to the GDP. That's a recession folks, and a bad one that we never left.
This is why all the "experts" talking about how "after eight years of expansion we are due a recession in 2019" are full of shit. No, we we've been in recession since 2009 and it only ended when Trump came in. We've got a lot of room for massive, pent-up growth, particularly since on-shoring jobs is just getting started.
Remember that the factories that were announced last year haven't even been built yet. The boom we're seeing in jobs is only starting.
As for Wall Street, the Fed not only bought massive amounts of stocks to "juice" its numbers, they held interest rates at zero for YEARS, forcing retirees to buy stocks instead of putting their money in secured investments.
At some point that paper was going to unwind and the market was going to reflect reality, not the crystal meth Obama was feeding it.
Interest rates are still abnormally low, but the rate of rise does need to slow.

You mean, like an economic business cycle? I remember those, before the Fed and Obama kept interest rates at ZERO for 8 years.
There of course could be, after such good success. But the spending has been on infrastructure, creating new, skilled jobs in quantity. Trump did this, not garbage like Barry's Cash for Clunkers, which was a simple wealth transfer one-time transaction.
Even with the stock market dropping - because of 4 interest rate hikes by the Fed - can't ruin the most sound growth in the US in over a decade.

That isn't entirely true. No one is talking about QE any more and indeed it is approaching its peak unwind rate. But this is also tied in to the interest rate discussion (the Obama bubbles were blown on QE + repressed interest rates), where this is a lot of squawking.

Yeah, but then what explains near record stock markets even as interest rates shoot up? If anything, I'm mildly happy that bonds are becoming an attractive option so that the stock market can have a counter balance. Even if I think control over rates should be seized from a wholly unaccountable Fed.
And just remember, the longer this expansion occurs, the easier it is for Trump to blame sudden recessions on bad Fed policy. They couldn't hamstring him too early, or else risk him taking extreme measures or blaming Obama, but doing it too late risks President Trump gaining yuge amounts of credibility. As he has gained.

Just a reminder: "furloughed" federal employees still got their last paycheck. Today is the last working day of their first pay period without funding.
If the gov't isn't restarted by the middle of next week, there won't be enough time to process timesheets so next Mondy (Jan. 14) will be the first actual payless payday for "shut down" federal employees.
That's when the Dems will really feel the heat from their core voters.

markets even as interest rates shoot up? If anything, I'm mildly happy
that bonds are becoming an attractive option so that the stock market
can have a counter balance. Even if I think control over rates should be
seized from a wholly unaccountable Fed.
And just remember, the longer this expansion occurs, the easier it
is for Trump to blame sudden recessions on bad Fed policy. They couldn't
hamstring him too early, or else risk him taking extreme measures or
blaming Obama, but doing it too late risks President Trump gaining yuge
amounts of credibility. As he has gained.

The market surged because the economy was taking off. That in turn signaled the Fed that they could unwind their position and start raising interest rates to something close to normal levels.
The War on Savings is over.
But in the short run, you got a lot of volatility and profit-taking, plus the usual insider crap. The notion that the Fed could unload that much paper and it not leave a mark was unrealistic. Obama assumed the bomb would go off after he left, and he was right.
So yeah, stocks are up and down but the fundamentals are strong. And paper giants like Apple are taking it up the butt, which they should.
Trump is going to be able to run on "Main Street vs Wall Street" and it's going to be fun watching the Dems try to wriggle out of it.

expansion we are due a recession in 2019" are full of shit. No, we we've
been in recession since 2009 and it only ended when Trump came in.
We've got a lot of room for massive, pent-up growth, particularly since
on-shoring jobs is just getting started." mcbride
well, the growth we had was based on debt ... easy money enabled that. Usually pent up demand is from people unable to afford to buy (?) ... but that was not really the case the last 8 years of ZIRP and QE, as we see in a lot of real estate or other places.
imo the miracle would be to bring jobs/production back to America, and have markets go sideways maybe down for eight years ... but the middle class gets reinflated. (instead of inflating the banks and "elite" crooks, and China.) That growth might show up in the Russell 2000 and privately held companies, as we (slowly) return to more normal interest rates.
ZIRP and QE were financial WMDs and we are now experiencing the fallout. Obama could afford to double the debt via QE and ZIRP ... financing that debt was cheaper than Bush's $6T debt.
But the debt growth continues, and Obama's short term notes will be replaced with higher rates ... and the base debt keeps growing (not to mention the misplaced 6 to 21 trillion in the Pentagon, of the $200T in unfunded liabilities, or the quadrillion in shadowry derivative markets which our betters were nice enough to underwrite (using America itself as collateral, to bailout the globalist billionaires)
There is not path to glory, but more inflated currency can help markets ... till they break something ... then we will be in the hands of the IMF perhaps.

I mean, I agree with most of what you said, but higher interest rates mean higher debt payments. Sure, it can be solved by simply not selling as many T-bills to replace the ones that mature, but right now interest payments are $370 billion. That's an extra $62 billion for 2018 alone. That is a sizable chunk even with insane fedgov budgets, and it will only get worse in time.
The fundamentals of the private economy are strong, as ever, and companies that bet big on China are generally taking a bath. But federal problems still have to be dealt with, and higher interest rates make that less likely.

The Fed has two mandates: keep unemployment low, and keep inflation low. After rates were raised, Jay Powell took questions from the financial press. Two reporters (one from Bloomberg) asked why, if the Fed's own data showed that there was no increase in inflation, and that we still had low unemployment, that the FF rate was raised. Powell stammered his response to that question both times.
The financial press (CNBC and Bloomberg) basically goaded the Fed to assert their 'independence' and ignore Trump's plea to keep rates low. They did that, and Mr. Market gave them a spanking.
They will never say that maybe, just maybe, Trump was right all along.

There is a lot of margin trading going on in the Stock Market, with borrowed money at the previously low rates. When the rates went up, the margin traders began dumping stocks for cash to pay off their revolving credit lines before they got burned by higher rates.
So margin trading will resume in 2019, as people adjust to the newer interest rates.
Plus, there are now some "buys" out there when prices fell dramatically at the end of the year. Hence, the year end recovery of prices, and now prices are starting to climb again.
Apple, as a Tech leader, is getting hammered because their new I-Phones are not selling as predicted, due to high costs and really, lack of new features. $325 Billion in lost capitalization? Really? Other hot growth Tech stocks of the last decade are now also stagnating, because they aren't so hot now, are they?
In a lot of ways, we are entering deflationary times as you might have noticed, Nat Gas, gasoline and diesel are falling in price. These are fundamental fuel prices that work their way into everything.
