Interesting that the housing markets are cooling down while confidence grows for local businesses. I wonder if there are increased retail sales in response to the expected price increases due to possible incoming tariffs
Well in book production, I am witnessing some of the those concerns materialize, first hand. When it comes to optimism of local businesses, its important to consider them regionally. I look forward to getting better at this -- right now its a little bit like trying to read the Bible.
"In fixed income, we're looking at the short term t-bills, the 4 week, the 8 week... - Investors are demanding higher yield for having their money tied up in the short run" - Is this the not the definition of an inverted yield curve?
Great article thanks for sharing this information . Glad to hear that there has been growth for local businesses and that unemployment has improved. I hope it continues. I think its possibly related to the time of year that housing markets have cooled down.
I wonder about unemployment -- is it REALLY stable? In general, when something appears stable, it could be consolidating before it starts to go up or come down. Is it a seasonal thing for housing to cool down around the holidays?
Don’t know the answer about unemployment. And yes according to a friend in real estate sales tend to slow down at least in the Northeast from now through the winter.
