The global cryptocurrency market cap today is $1.22 Trillion, a -0.15% change in the last 24 hours and 25.83% change one year ago.

We look at the latest trends and fads, and set this in a broader discussion about the nature of money.

Good News Is Bad News Again, As Rates Push Higher…

Once again, good news is bad news, as overall the US economy looks strong than expected, and the US economic surprise index kept by Citi, which tracks how much incoming data is exceeding or lagging expectations, jumped to its highest in more than two years. But this leads to the thought that rates will have to go higher, forcing markets lower.

Shares closed lower in New York, reversing earlier gains, in light volume on Friday. While the June jobs data helped to ease some concerns about the interest rate outlook, it also provided further justification for a July increase.

The U.S. economy added jobs at a slower-than-anticipated pace in June, but labor conditions remain largely tight as Federal Reserve officials prepare for an upcoming interest rate decision later this month.

Household Financial Stress Hits A New High In June!

The hot news from our surveys and models is that financial stress, mortgage stress and particularly rental stress has gone higher again, as more households struggle with cash flow issues (our stress definition is based on cash flow status).

We walk though the main results, across the states, households segments and post codes. We also geo-map the results.

Let me know if you would like me to run another live show on this analysis, with post code data available.

Where’s That Recession Then?

In our latest market update we look back across the first half of the year, as markets have continued to drive higher in the light of higher rates and continued uncertainty.

As we move into July, the past six months on the markets have contained all types of contradictions, with prices spiked by AI, hopes the Fed will cut rates, when they lifted, and a more robust US economy than many had expected, perhaps promising higher returns ahead.

On Friday The S&P 500 rose 1.3%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.9%, and the Nasdaq rose 1.5% as markets prepared for the June 30 end point.
The S&P 500 defied recession fears and a U.S. banking crisis to notch a 15.9% gain in the first half. The Nasdaq Composite powered ahead 31.7% for its biggest first-half increase in four decades.

The Australian share market rose 0.1 per cent on Friday, and a return of 9.7 per cent for the financial year.
