  • Flash US PMI signals strong start to fourth quarter

    From pmi.spglobal.com

    US business activity growth accelerated in October to the second-fastest so far this year, according to early ‘flash’ PMI data, accompanied by the largest rise in new business seen in 2025 to date. Improvements in output and new work were recorded in manufacturing and services, though both sectors signaled falling exports. Factories also reported falling input buying amid a steep drop in backlogs of work and an unprecedented build-up of unsold stock. Meanwhile, while employment growth picked up, the pace of job creation remained only modest, and weakened especially in manufacturing. Jobs growth was also limited ... (full story)

This has to be ragebait.

2.3>2.4>2.7>2.7>2.9>3.0 = cooling?

If you mean the rate of inflation increases m/m then I guess but that is second order and a pretty low bar to hit.

I’ll say 35T has called this market pretty good , with caveats of course . I’m honest, it’s known as integrity , and he’s repeated his calls .

I think he’s pushing it on 7000 however, let’s see .

Interested observer Van lol

As expected, nothing but good news for equities. Most firms are now predicting 7k SPX soon, I’m glad they finally realized what I’ve been saying for months lol.

mixed bag conflicting for the dollar: softer inflation vs stronger growth. Near-term, the PMI beat likely carries the tape..
Softer is relative, please note that it is month on month.

And we are always influenced by Forecast. If forecast Y/y had been 2.8%, 3.0% would have been a deep green.

So the final narrative is that, none of it is negative, just that we had high forecast

Most firms predict what´s in front of their eyes. That´s like doing the lotto after the draw, very easy!!
When SPX was hitting 5K and less, in the middle of the tariffs debacle, everyone was shouting 4K, heck even 3K and less!!!
Now that 7K is just a inch away ofc they say 7K. I´d give them credit if they said 7K in April, that would be a call for the ages!!!

I’m 59F7 and A4F6 for this article.

I’m the guy who told everyone to hedge gold the day before the drop, and been telling everyone to buy every equity dip for 5 months since this is an unstoppable bull market, but use trailing stops. Told everyone 6550 was support before it was tested, and been calling for 7k SPX for awhile. Lots of people argued with me over the last 5 months, they know who they are. But hey, feel free to listen to perma bears lol.

Can you post a trading log to show you’re not just paper trading on a demo account ?

Why? I’m asking seriously? I was registered here for awhile, but the non stop tds and bears screaming about crashes everyday got old.

I’m a professional in the us, we have a huge number of regulations. Don’t have to take my word for it. Go call the sro’s of the sec. The only reason to do what you are asking is to try to sell something or get clients. That’s simply not allowed unless you are an amateur pretending.

I only joined because after April everyone here kept screaming about how bad it is the US, crash, debt, tariffs, bubble, crash crash crash. I wanted to tell people the truth. I’ve watched thousands of traders lose everything. I’d like to give back and try to guide new traders away from the clueless bears here. Everyone here said these would crash the market, I in real time posted that each of these would not deter the bull market at all: debt downgrade, Epstein, Iran, Russia, tariffs, Israel, inflation, ai “bubble”. Again, I give free no obligation advice on how to trade and what the current trends are, take it or leave it, matters to me not at all.

Thanks, honestly I like debating with you, and I like ghost, he’s nicer than both of us lol.
7k is just such a nice number I think a lot of people are eyeing it, so it seems logical.

But, as always, my bullishness will change if we ever break first support, but it hasn’t happened yet. Don’t like going into weekends unhedged long either.
