This is not going to be an article or Op-Ed about Michael Jordan. Since 2009 we've been in the longest bull-market in history, that's 11 years and counting. However a few metrics like the stock market P/E, the call to put ratio and of course the Shiller P/E suggest a great crash is coming in-between the levels of 1929 and the dot.com bubble. Mean reversion historically is inevitable and the Fed's printing money experiment could end in disaster for the stock market in late 2021 or 2022. You can read Jeremy Grantham's Last Dance article here. You are likely well aware of Michael Burry's predicament as well. It's easier for you just to skim through two related videos on this topic of a stock market crash. Michael Burry's Warning see this YouTube. Jeremy Grantham's Warning See this YouTube. Typically when there is a major event in the world, there is a crash and then a bear market and a recovery that takes many many months. In March, 2020 that's not what we saw since the Fed did some astonishing things that means a liquidity sloth and the risk of a major inflation event. The pandemic represented the quickest decline of at least 30% in the history of the benchmark S&P 500, but the recovery was not correlated to anything but Fed intervention. Since the pandemic clearly isn't disappearing and many sectors such as travel, business travel, tourism and supply chain disruptions appear significantly disrupted - the so-called economic recovery isn't so great. And there's this little problem at the heart of global capitalism today, the stock market just keeps going up. Crashes and corrections typically occur frequently in a normal market. But the Fed liquidity and irresponsible printing of money is creating a scenario where normal behavior isn't occurring on the markets. According to data provided by market analytics firm Yardeni Research, the benchmark index has undergone 38 declines of at least 10% since the beginning of 1950. Since March, 2020 we've barely seen a down month. September, 2020 was flat-ish. The S&P 500 has more than doubled since those lows. Look at the angle of the curve: The S&P 500 was 735 at the low in 2009, so in this bull market alone it has gone up 6x in valuation. That's not a normal cycle and it could mean we are due for an epic correction. I have to agree with the analysts who claim that the long, long bull market since 2009 has finally matured into a fully-fledged epic bubble. There is a complacency, buy-the dip frenzy and general meme environment to what BigTech can do in such an environment. The weight of Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, Facebook, Nvidia and Tesla together in the S&P and Nasdaq is approach a ridiculous weighting. When these stocks are seen both as growth, value and companies with unbeatable moats the entire dynamics of the stock market begin to break down. Check out FANG during the pandemic. BigTech is Seen as Bullet-Proof me valuations and a hysterical speculative behavior leads to even higher highs, even as 2020 offered many younger people an on-ramp into investing for the first time. Some analysts at JP Morgan are even saying that until retail investors stop charging into stocks, markets probably don’t have too much to worry about. Hedge funds with payment for order flows can predict exactly how these retail investors are behaving and monetize them. PFOF might even have to be banned by the SEC. The risk-on market theoretically just keeps going up until the Fed raises interest rates, which could be in 2023! For some context, we're more than 1.4 years removed from the bear-market bottom of the coronavirus crash and haven't had even a 5% correction in nine months. This is the most over-priced the market has likely ever been. At the night of the dot-com bubble the S&P 500 was only 1,400. Today it is 4,500, not so many years after. Clearly something is not quite right if you look at history and the P/E ratios. A market pumped with liquidity produces higher earnings with historically low interest rates, it's an environment where dangerous things can occur. In late 1997, as the S&P 500 passed its previous 1929 peak of 21x earnings, that seemed like a lot, but nothing compared to today. For some context, the S&P 500 Shiller P/E closed last week at 38.58, which is nearly a two-decade high. It's also well over double the average Shiller P/E of 16.84, dating back 151 years. So the stock market is likely around 2x over-valued. Try to think rationally about what this means for valuations today and your favorite stock prices, what should they be in historical terms? The S&P 500 is up 31% in the past year. It will likely hit 5,000 before a correction given the amount of added liquidity to the system and the QE the Fed is using that's like a huge abuse of MMT, or Modern Monetary Theory. This has also lent to bubbles in the housing market, crypto and even commodities like Gold with long-term global GDP meeting many headwinds in the years ahead due to a...

ABSTRACT This paper reports an empirical research on the dynamics of inflation of seventeen industrial sectors of the Brazilian economy between 1996 and 2011. From a theoretical discussion of the relationship between inflation and aggregate demand in traditional economic approaches (the New Consensus Model), Post-Keynesian and Distributive Conflict, we sought evidence of excess demand inflation and cost pressures in these sectors. The time series used were the Producer Price Index for Comprehensive Source (IPA-OG), the degree of Installed Capacity Utilization (both from FGV), the International Commodities Index (IFS/IMF), the interest rate and the nominal exchange rate (both from Brazilian Central Bank - BCB). The methodology was based on ADL Model (Autoregressive Distributed Lags). The results pointed to the absence of a strong and systematic relationship between inflation and aggregate demand, and to evidences of cost pressures, particularly international prices and the exchange of commodities as determinants of inflation dynamics of the sectors and period analyzed.

In May 2025, the Consumer Price Index including owner occupiers' housing costs (CPIH) inflation rate of the United Kingdom was **** percent, down from *** percent in the previous month. The inflation rate fell noticeably after the COVID-19 pandemic, but rose sharply between Spring 2021 and Autumn 2022. After peaking at *** percent in October 2022, CPIH inflation declined throughout 2023 and into 2024, falling to *** percent by September of that year, before increasing again recently. Cost of living problems persist into 2025 Although it is likely that the worst of the recent inflation surge may have passed, the issues caused by it look set to linger into 2025 and beyond. While the share of households experiencing living cost rises has fallen from ** percent in August 2022, to ** percent in July 2024, this share rose towards the end of the year, with more than half of households reporting rising costs in December. Even with lower inflation, overall consumer prices have already increased by around ** percent in the last three years, rising to almost ** percent for food prices, which lower income households typically spend more of their income on. The significant increase in people relying on food banks across the UK, is evidence of the magnitude of this problem, with approximately **** million people using food banks in 2023/**. Other measure of inflation While the CPIH inflation rate displayed here is the preferred index of the UK's Office of National Statistics, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is often more prominently featured in the media in general. An older index, the Retail Price Index (RPI) is also still used by the government to calculate certain taxes, and rail fare rises. Other metrics include the core inflation rate, which measures prices increases without the volatility of food and energy costs, while price increases in goods and services can also be tracked separately. The inflation rate of individual sectors can also be measured, and as of December 2024, prices were rising fastest in the communications sector, at *** percent, with costs falling in the transport and furniture sectors.

In 2019, the average inflation rate in Nepal was at 4.62 percent, a slight drop compared to the previous year. The inflation rate is calculated using the price increase of a defined product basket. This product basket contains products and services on which the average consumer spends money throughout the year. They include expenses for groceries, clothes, rent, power, telecommunications, recreational activities, and raw materials (e.g. gas, oil), as well as federal fees and taxes. Political and economic turmoilThe Nepalese economy is heavily influenced by the country’s political situation. It has made only slow progress in connecting with the global economy and improving the standard of living for its inhabitants but is now finally picking up speed. Nepal’s economy is not stable yet: Inflation is decreasing but all over the place – usually a sure sign of a struggling economy – and GDP growth is also not steady and forecast to decrease again in the future. Additionally, Nepal’s trade deficit seems to be in free fall. Move to the cityA quarter of Nepal’s, mostly rural, population is living below the poverty line, but Nepal is working on improving their outlook in the future. Today, agriculture contributes about a third to the country’s GDP, and a sizeable share of commodity exports consists of agricultural products – but already the lion’s share of Nepal’s GDP is generated by the services sector, like tourism and textiles. By shifting GDP generation to services, and consequently creating jobs in the cities and attracting more people to urban areas, Nepal might finally be able to stabilize its economy and provide better living standards for its inhabitants.

The Landscaping Services industry’s dependence on the health of property markets has propelled it to expansion as the domestic housing market has grown. A healthier housing market has encouraged current homeowners to invest in their properties to boost their value amid growing disposable income. Low interest rates through 2022 created a boom in the housing market, while rising per capita disposable income levels sustained residential spending even as interest rates rose in an effort to curb inflation, slowing housing markets. Concurrently, landscapers have weathered unpredictability through their reliance on stable institutional clients, and a resurgence in spending from commercial clients like hotels and resorts because they generate higher revenue per service. Overall, revenue has rallied at a CAGR of 6.0% to $184.1 billion over the past five years, with growth of 3.2% forecast in 2025 alone. At the same time, landscapers’ profitability has proved resilient to the rising cost of chemicals essential to services, averaging 11.9% in 2025.The onset of climate change, with higher temperatures and erratic rainfall, is stressing landscapes, requiring more resilient plant choices and irrigation solutions. This shift has driven companies to adopt more sustainable practices.

Automotive Continuous Tire Inflation System Market size was valued at USD 43.03 Million in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 88.52 Million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9.55% from 2024 to 2030.Global Automotive Continuous Tire Inflation System Market OutlookThe increasing demand for airless and nitrogen-inflated tires can pose certain challenges and restrictions on the growth of the Automotive Continuous Tire Inflation System (CTIS) market. While the increasing demand for airless and nitrogen-inflated tires may restrict the market growth for the automotive CTIS market in some contexts, there are still niche applications and scenarios where CTIS technology can complement these tire technologies by providing additional safety and maintenance benefits. The impact on the CTIS market will largely depend on the specific industries, vehicles, and regions where these tire technologies gain prominence.Airless tires, also known as non-pneumatic tires, are designed to be maintenance-free and resistant to punctures. Similarly, nitrogen-inflated tires are touted for their stable pressure levels, as nitrogen molecules are larger and less prone to permeate through tire walls compared to oxygen molecules. This inherent stability in tire pressure reduces the need for constant pressure monitoring and adjustment, which is one of the primary functions of CTIS. These tires are engineered to eliminate the risk of blowouts, which are often caused by under inflation or over inflation of pneumatic tires. As a result, the demand for CTIS as a safety feature to prevent blowouts diminishes in vehicles equipped with airless or nitrogen-inflated tires.

According to preliminary figures, the growth of real gross domestic product (GDP) in China amounted to 5.0 percent in 2024. For 2025, the IMF expects a GDP growth rate of around 3.95 percent. Real GDP growth The current gross domestic product is an important indicator of the economic strength of a country. It refers to the total market value of all goods and services that are produced within a country per year. When analyzing year-on-year changes, the current GDP is adjusted for inflation, thus making it constant. Real GDP growth is regarded as a key indicator for economic growth as it incorporates constant GDP figures. As of 2024, China was among the leading countries with the largest gross domestic product worldwide, second only to the United States which had a GDP volume of almost 29.2 trillion U.S. dollars. The Chinese GDP has shown remarkable growth over the past years. Upon closer examination of the distribution of GDP across economic sectors, a gradual shift from an economy heavily based on industrial production towards an economy focused on services becomes visible, with the service industry outpacing the manufacturing sector in terms of GDP contribution. Key indicator balance of trade Another important indicator for economic assessment is the balance of trade, which measures the relationship between imports and exports of a nation. As an economy heavily reliant on manufacturing and industrial production, China has reached a trade surplus over the last decade, with a total trade balance of around 992 billion U.S. dollars in 2024.

Gross domestic product is the total value of all goods and services produced in a country in a year. It is considered an important indicator of the economic strength of a country. In 2024, GDP in Turkey amounted to around 1,322.41 billion U.S. dollars. Gross domestic product as a reliable indicatorGross domestic product, or GDP for short, not only shows the aforementioned value; by doing so it gives an idea of the state of a country’s economy and standard of living. The higher and more stable a country’s GDP, the better its economic situation. Since GDP is measured consistently worldwide, comparisons between countries are possible and quite reliable. Turkey’s economy on the decline? Turkey’s gross domestic product has been on a decline for the past years and is estimated to hit rock bottom in 2019, with a projected steep upturn afterwards. At the same time, inflation is set to peak at almost 17.5 percent the same year, and unemployment is on the rise. All in all, the figures do not look promising for Turkey, but at least estimations assume a quick recovery. However, this economic development is likely due to the political path the country has chosen in recent years, and it remains to be seen if the forecasts will prove true in the future or if Turkey’s economy needs to brace itself for a further downturn instead.

As business sentiment across Europe picks up, call centres will see profitability challenges due to staff shortages, boosting the need for automation or higher wages. Revenue is estimated to expand at a compound annual rate of 3.7% over the five years through 2029 to €36.0 billion. With the improvement of the Eurozone economy, there will be an uptick in business activity and consumer demand, propelling companies to use more services provided by call centres. Businesses might increase their operations, introduce new products, or outsource work more than before, thereby fostering a greater need for call centres. Profitability will be under fire in the coming years as staff shortages continue, forcing the industry’s hand in significantly increasing automation of its services or raising wages.
