Investors Worried that Economic Slowdown in China, Europe and Japan is Now Hitting the United States

[EconChick]

The sharp drop in oil prices is a reflection of a weak global economy. Keynesian leaders around the globe are seeing results of their big spending policies and demand around the globe continues to drop. The sharp drop in oil also comes at a time of rising global tensions. IS militants are causing havoc in the Middle East, while deteriorating relations between Russia and the West have triggered something akin to a new Cold War.

The short selloff in the US stock market Wednesday was followed by a fierce selloff in Asia on Thursday, led by Tokyo, with investors worried that economic slowdown in China, Europe and Japan is now hitting the United States.

And that large drop in oil prices - which has absolutely nothing to do with Obama for you sycophants/hacks - will probably stop at $80/barrel.

If ISIS were to make significant gains in Baghdad (which I believe the will), the outlook could get even more worrisome.

That's what I've been trying to tell you for the last two weeks.

You're welcome.

Excuse me....

That's only PART of what you've been saying. But you do get credit for this part.

Ah well, we can always hope for another Great Depression. That would make you really happy now, wouldn't it, EC? Of course, the President was handed an economy that was in a death spiral on 20Jan09. Market headed for 6550, 500,000 jobs being lost a month. And he has made it so much worse. Market now at 16,000+, jobless rate below 6%, and still declining. But you can always hope for the worse. That is what you 'Conservatives' are best at, hoping for the worst for our nation.

Surely to goodness a woman with you multiple economic degrees should be able to blame Obama for the world wide economic slowdown.

If you can't, your degrees suck.

And actually, you as an economist should be able to understand and appreciate that the consumer (us) is doing exactly what we want our government to do. Cut un necessary spending. Stop wasteful spending. Live within our means. Doesn't that all sound like a good thing?

Or are you one of those that think government spending bad, consumer spending good. Even if the consumer has to borrow to spend. You do know that it's the real rich that have all the disposable income. Maybe they will pick up the slack and buy more of everything.

But as to the drop in a barrel of oil. I'm ok with that. Even if Obama didn't cause the drop. 2.98 a gallon is better than 3.29 a gallon. My economist told me so.

The market does nice thing when the fed pumps 85 billion a month into it for six years.

Yea can you BELIEVE how that communist Obama made it possible for the ultra wealthy to make the fortunes they have made playing the market with government money. And I did ok as well. How bout you? Make any money off those markets?

What a communist. Obama is a communist. Right? I read that he is all the time on here.

China and Europe are slowing. China has some levers to pull, but they have too much fixed capital and are at risk of a balance sheet slowdown. Europe, otoh, has little it can do. That's why the market could turn real ugly.

But Republicans don't. Right? Bet you got a hundred different ways the Republicans in Congress tried to slow down the markets and stop the ultra wealthy from getting more ultra wealthy. At least a hundred.

He appointed yellen to the fed after she reassured him that she would continue the gravy train. Whenever you start to lecture us on how dems are for the working man, we will all laugh.

I'm not surprised you're ignorant about this fact, but Soviet leadership was great at playing the market back when Communism reigned there. DUMBASS.

Republicans have been complaining since day 1 about his tax and spend policies.

Yellen is just another HUGE Keynesian BIG SPENDER. These are the people in charge around the world....what results would one expect.

 

[EconChick]

This is why all you folks claiming median income will match Bush are wrong. The economy is a mess.

What's wrong, Mac? Afraid to look at the facts about where economy's heading?
