Agree with you. This wake-up call seem to be orchestrated. Basic more jobs, mean economy go on the right direction and to achieve the really grow demand also rate cuts. I saw this kind of pattern after the election results. The Feds made everything hard for the new administration and put all theyrs resources and power for. I saw also outside interferences and all come from the Dems parteners. They just cash now and careless about investing or the future of the dollard or the economy.

Also on investing news, 80 % is presenting on negative light, indiferent what it is. Big ones as JP, Soros, etc play harder and harder the shorting game, which drop the market.

On international (geopolitical) the only declared enemy is China. They start the last ressources (hacking the Reserve) before Powell will go forever. They panic because theyrs economy is collapsing, the geo expanding start to shringht, Panama canal, Groenland and Canada (chinese puppy PM will go soon) will contribute to isolate them. Tarrifs and Europe which restrict more and more theyrs exports. In Africa China is push out more and more and the South, Central America will be soon on stand-by. On other parts, Iran is at his end (lost Syria and Lebanon), on the detriment of Turkey. Russia is as was before, they do not want cold war, they do not expand geo, just enlarge the international collaborations.

So it is not true that more jobs mean NO to rate cuts. Do not mean inflation will grow. More jobs and rate cuts, mean better economy, more money on the market, more exports, less inflation and stronger dollard, not to forgot that the Reserve could be dismemble and the dollard to be covered by gols and silver. US has from far the bigger reserve of the precious metal. Aprox 75% of the world reserve.

The market will be back on his normal path and in February will re-stabilize.
