Money & Economics

And futures just went green :rofl:

Would not be a surprise as I said in post #3474 above, we may see a green market this week with Trump expected to announce victory and dump the problem in others laps.

Of course any given day a single tweet can move it 1000 pts either way so who knows

There ya go. An extra $1 or 2 per gallon of diesel isn’t slowing it down apparently ;)



interesting .. have not look at this one before ..

SONAR Truckload Volume Index (STVI) is a metric that measures electronically tendered freight volumes from shippers to truckload carriers, including both accepted and rejected tenders. It serves as a leading indicator of trucking capacity demand and reflects real-time market conditions.

  • Purpose: STVI provides a more focused view of freight demand, with a stronger weighting toward stable sectors like consumer packaged goods (CPG), food, and shorter-haul traffic, making it a reliable benchmark for large truckload carriers.
  • Data Source: The index uses a comprehensive, updated Truckload Tender dataset that began on April 1, 2019, with a national base index of 10,000.
  • Key Insights:

    • STVI is designed to offer deeper market insight with improved regional coverage across the U.S. and select Canadian markets.
    • It complements the broader Outbound Tender Volume Index (OTVI) by offering a more stable, sector-weighted view of freight demand.
    • As of recent data, STVI showed a 3% year-over-year decline, indicating weaker freight demand compared to 2024, though it remains more resilient than other indicators due to its focus on stable freight sectors.
  • Use Cases: Shippers, carriers, brokers, economists, and financial analysts use STVI to monitor demand trends, optimize pricing, and forecast capacity pressures.
The index is available at national, regional, state, and market levels, and is accessible via SONAR’s platform, Bloomberg Enterprise Access Point, and other integrated data services.

This is Fucking Huge!

The Trump SEC is a fucking joke. No need to report, just trust those companies to tell you the truth,... when they get around to it... ;)

This will be the beginning of the end for our markets.
Trump is so bought and paid for he won't even acknowledge it
