1 The "informed monetary decision" the central banks want is the one they've been executing.

Keep interest rates high for as long as possible. Blame Trump at every turn.

2 The US500 (NYSE: SPY), a proxy for the broader U.S. stock market, reportedly fell by 2.31% from the previous session, indicating a broad-based sell-off.

Yeah, bullshit on that. The market had been hitting one all-time high after another even after the shutdown. If you pick the right timeframe you can prove anything you like.

3 Right you are Matt. There's far, far too much money involved to support an "information deficit."

4 The "market" is so disgustingly overbought that a pullback such as yesterday's was just a matter of time.

Too blame it on the USG shutdown is total rubbish. Trump's spat with China, maybe, at least a trigger. I love how the pundits try to find the round peg to fit the hole after the fact, the same pundits who say AI and quantum crap will send the market into the stratosphere.

And if I recall, M2 money supply is movin' on up.
