Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
Chilton Raises a Cryptic Concern Over the Recent Market Drop
Former Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Bart Chilton said earlier this evening on Fox Business that he suspects ‘shenanigans’ in the recent volatility. That video is not yet available, but he didn’t say much beyond that, saying he’s heard some things that have caused him concerns, perhaps beyond what is said in this video clip.
Readers are reminded that last month Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos, and Jaime Dimon put their heads together, and made an announcement that caused about a 300 point drop in the markets – the same day as the president’s State of the Union (SOTU) address. Is it a stretch to ask if those 3 made that announcement, knowing the market drop that would follow? Again, that preceded the more recent, and far more pronounced volatility.
To be sure, there’s plenty of views as to the why behind the recent drop, including a long awaited normal correction. But Chilton’s cryptic comment may signal that something else was afoot, and it is worth watching for in the day ahead.
Next…
…the White House press room sent this to the Daily Business News, the outline of the long-awaited infrastructure plan.
The President’s plan to rebuild America
America has long been a Nation of builders, President Trump told the country January 30 in his first State of the Union Address. “We built the Empire State Building in just 1 year—is it not a disgrace that it can now take 10 years just to get a permit approved for a simple road?”
He called on leaders of both parties in Congress to come together to deliver the safe, reliable, and modern infrastructure that Americans deserve. Today, he will outline his legislative principles to accomplish just that:
- $200 billion in Federal funds to spur at least $1.5 trillion in infrastructure investments with partners at the state, local, tribal, and private level
- New investments in rural America, which has been left behind for too long
- Decision-making authority will return to state and local governments
- Regulatory barriers that needlessly get in the way of infrastructure projects will be removed
- Permitting for infrastructure projects will be streamlined and shortened
