🎤The World’s Central Banker Has Spoken -- And It’s Not the Fed

Good morning. Governments can print money, but they can't print food. Or energy. That's the take...

It's the monthly jobs numbers today and they're not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May.

Good morning. Governments can print money, but they can't print food. Or energy. That's the takeaway from the latest moves by OPEC+ to keep energy prices high. The cartel is cutting production by 2 million barrels per day. While oil prices have been trending down with a slowdown in the economy over the past few months, OPEC has shown that they're the true world central bank. By controlling the supply of energy on the market, they can do just as much as the rest of the world in hiking interest rates. That bodes poorly for most stocks outside the energy space. As long as there's a push to keep interest rates rising and energy prices rising at the same time, most sectors will see a slowdown in demand. Traders need to continue to remain cautious, even with the market's rally this week. There could be further – and quick – drops ahead for stocks.

There was a lot of pessimism in the market that it was able to rally pretty strongly from for a couple of months.
