Thread: Three economic misses yet stocks rally

  1. #1

    Default Three economic misses yet stocks rally

    The stock market seems to like the weaker than expected economic data. That could help keep the Fed feeding the economy, which seems to be all that matters.


    U.S. GDP rose 6.5% last quarter, well below expectations of 8.4%.

    I don't understand GDP. It seems every time it comes out there's a bunch of caveats, then when it gets revised lower the next month, nobody cares.

    September will be the big test unless rent moratorium, college loan forgiveness, and unemployment benefits get renewed - kicking the can down the road.
