The June chronology highlights the drama around the new record stock market highs and corresponding euphoric behavior. All Hail the Power and Glory of global central bankers! The record stock market highs create daily joy for the one-half of the United States that own stocks while the other half of the United States, the lower middle class, poor and disadvantaged, watch the rich get richer while they become poorer. The central bankers have created a sick society.

The huddled masses continue struggling through eight years of high unemployment and debt. The gap between rich and poor in America is the widest in five decades. The United States is experiencing a Gilded Age (created by the Federal Reserve and other global central bankers); a society of the have’s and the have not’s.

The chronology explains the price moves in global stock, bond and currency markets after key geopolitical events, central bank monetary policies and economic data releases. If you are trying to make sense of the markets this is the resource for you. No other publication exists where the stock, bond and currency moves are detailed and explained as world events and economic news take place in real-time.

You can re-live the real-time price moves and excitement in markets for any past events including the May 2015 stock market top (2015-02 through 2015-10), Brexit (2016-06 and 2016-07), the US election (2016-10 and 2016-11), the drama behind the French election (2017-04 and 2017-05), economic data releases, monthly jobs reports, Fed meetings and much more. The wild overnight crash in the S&P futures, and quick recovery, after President Trump’s election last November is explained in the 2016-11 publication.
