February CPI inflation rises 0.2%, lower than expected

[Winco]

Inflation down. Egg prices down. Gasoline prices down. Illegal immigration stopped. Promise made, promises kept. Good job, Mr. President!

Since you have NO money, you probably don't care about the stock market.
I do, and trump, all by himself, is currently destroying the market.

For me, I will let it just sit, and NOT add or subtract, but it is difficult to watch $850,000 turn into $810,000, all because we have a fool for POTUS.

How did the stock markets react during Trump's tariffs with China in His first presidency?

They were much smaller targeted tariffs on steel.

Much different than the broad 20% ones now.

Oh no................started on day one?

Egg prices have fallen sharply so far in March on some progress in ending a shortage, giving consumers some much-needed relief with the supermarket staple.

The cost of white large shell eggs declined to $6.85 per dozen, on average, last week, according to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That represents a decline of $1.20 per dozen, and a 15% pull back the USDA’s prior update on Feb. 28.

Like I said, don't brag that a carton no longer costs $10 but now costs $6.85. Still too much. Have you been watching the news? Even the right wing news is starting to realize Trump's a fucking idiot. We knew it all along. We couldn't figure out why you think a criminal tax cheat who's gone bankrupt scamming the system 7 times is smart.

Rubert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal editorial board isn’t being coy.

“Will There Be a Trump Recession? Economic signs are mixed, but his willy-nilly tariffs have markets worried,” reads a recent headline.

The U.S. stock market fell further Tuesday following President Donald Trump’s latest escalation in his trade war, briefly pulling Wall Street 10% below its record set last month. And like it’s been for most of the past few weeks, the market’s slide on Tuesday was erratic and dizzying.

Stocks have been heaving mostly lower on uncertainty about how much pain Trump is willing for the economy to endure in order to get what he wants.

Trump in recent days has dismissed fears of a recession and brushed aside the stock market sell-off, going so far as to say, “You can’t really watch the stock market.” That’s a new message from a leader who has frequently pointed to the market’s ups and downs as a reflection of himself and his activities, even when he was not in power.

Over the last year, while President Joe Biden was in office, Trump took credit for stock market rallies as a vote of confidence in his electoral prospects. When the market dipped, he blamed Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. And he predicted that if Democrats won the 2024 presidential election, the stock market would have crashed.

Leftwingers generally aren't in the market. Otherwise they would understand it. Things don't happen up or down in a day regarding policy. Trump said at the outset it would take a little time, but given his superlative past record, I look for the DJIA to really pick up. In fact I guaranteed it would rise 10% by summer in another thread.

Why did so many of you say the day after the election "did you see the stock market?"? Why did you say that? Clearly it's because you don't understand the market went up because there was a clear and decisive winner. The market hates uncertainty.

You guys acted like the market was happy Trump's back. Did you believe that when you said it? Then you don't understand the market.

Oh, and when Biden was president, the market was doing great. You said "what about people who aren't in the market?" Because honestly, most people who are in the market did great under Biden. They even got raises that made up for Covid. And during the great resignation, many people got promotions.

So now suddenly you're in the market? Then why did you hate on Biden?

From 2019 to 2022, the median net worth of American families jumped 37% to $192,900, after adjusting for inflation. It’s the largest increase ever recorded by the federal Survey of Consumer Finances, released last fall. Surging home values and rising stock ownership fed the surge.

You probably own a home too right?

Is the DJIA going to rise 10% from where it is now or from where it was before Trump crashed the market?

I think it's funny that when Democrats are president you guys say "presidents don't have that much to do with the economy" but clearly Trump has blown that theory out of the water. Trump moves crash the market in real time.

His stupid words matter. Even his supporters are pissed at him. I love seeing Elon lose 20 billion dollars in a day.

Did you believe this from the White House?

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) uttered the truth that has mostly been squelched by President Donald Trump and co. ― that tariffs are basically a tax that U.S. shoppers will pay in the form of higher prices. (Watch the video below.)
Mullen’s admission flies in the face of spin on Trump’s trade wars, most notably White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s false insistence that tariffs result in a “tax cut” for Americans.

If you understand, why aren't you calling bullshit on Trump?

Me? I've been in the market for 40 years. I've seen it all. Yes, the market was very happy Trump was elected both in 2016 and 2024 and reacted immediately. But for things like Trump's policies this term it may take some time, just as he said it would. Sometimes you have to prune flowers for them to blossom.

Now where you go wrong with Biden is his market was built on inflation. Biden's 2024 market, though higher was actually lower in real terms than at the end of Trump's term due to massive inflation. For you to go on about Biden's policies is a joke. His only policy was to spend like there was no tomorrow, which was really the policy of his handlers since Biden had no clue where he was.

Pruning off waste and unnecessary government jobs is very necessary to the survival of this economy, long term. Thank goodness Trump has the stones to do it. He's the only one who does. You should be thanking him. He's saving your from your own bad voting decisions.

Well don't buy them at the moment., Kill a huge number of chickens and that's what happens....kinda simple. Most freaking out about the eggs are lefty's 'He said...He said...He said'.
Not all chickens die, many survive, but USDA says kill them all....so much for passing on herd immunity.

'I'm from the government and I'm here to help'.

Stocks have been heaving mostly lower on uncertainty about how much pain Trump is willing for the economy to endure in order to get what he wants.

Trump warned everyone there may be some short term pain. David Solomon, CEO of Goldman Sachs isn't overly concerned.

“Will There Be a Trump Recession? Economic signs are mixed, but his willy-nilly tariffs have markets worried,” reads a recent headline.

You mean the same recession Biden cooked the books on and changed the definition?

Have you been watching the news? Even the right wing news is starting to realize Trump's a fucking idiot.

Left wing propaganda works.

Leftwingers STILL don't understand Trump uses tariffs and threats of tariffs to influence behavior. He's gotten quite a few concessions by not having to enact some tariffs. He's the top negotiator in the world.

Biden’s economy pushed the market with positive GDP growth and low unemployment.

Hilarious

Just look at his 6 bankruptcies, failed business ventures, discredited charities and 34 felony convictions.

What concessions has he received from pootin in the Ukraine war?

What concessions has he received from Canada?

The president of Mexico is playing him like a violin.

He even need hillbilly eligy vance to jump in speak for his fatass against Zelensky.

I see nothing that Shitler! negotiates because of his skill.

Drop since Inauguration...........

Byron York:

he hope is that February’s results will signal a new positive trend — and put an end to an old negative one. Inflation, which hit 9.1% on an annual basis in June 2022, gradually fell all the way to 2.4% last September. But then it started to rise again — 2.6% in October, 2.7% in November, 2.9% in December, and 3% in January. Now — cross your fingers — with the decline to 2.8%, the hope is that what appeared to be a second coming of inflation during the Biden years has stopped.
