Gold log scale

no cuts

Growth in Federal Tax Withholding Moved Up in September. We estimate that the amount of withholding in September was 6.3 percent above the amount from September of a year ago (so-called year-over-year growth). That is above the year-over-year growth of 5.2 percent in August and 4.8 percent in July, and slightly higher than the middle of the range of 5 percent to 7 percent growth that we have measured in most months since May 2023. Thus, the recent withholding data are not indicating any significant slowing in economic activity. Because federal tax withholding moves largely with overall wages and salaries in the economy, we expect that overall wages and salaries are growing at a relatively solid rate (see chart below). We get the first read on employment and wages for September in tomorrow’s employment report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The more comprehensive measure becomes available at the end of this month with the monthly release by the Bureau of Economic Analysis of its National Income and Product Accounts–though the data are subject to much subsequent revision. https://taxtracking.com/growth-in-federal-tax-withholding-moved-up-in-september/

Best week since 1998 on stock markets Meanwhile, the rally in the price of shares of Chinese companies listed on both stock exchanges in the Middle Kingdom and overseas trading floors continues. The SZSE Component index gained 6.7 percent on Friday in Shenzen. The FTSE China A50 on the Shanghai Stock Exchange gained nearly 3.6 percent. The CSI 300 Composite Index, which includes companies listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen, rose nearly 15 percent during the week, its best performance since November 2008. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index went up 3.2 percent, surpassing 20,000 points and scoring its best week since 1998, rising 12.9 percent in that time. Let's not forget, however, that this is actually a rebound from the multi-year lows that Chinese indices have hit this year as a result of concerns about the state of the local economy, which the authorities now want to stimulate.

Goldman is sayin 2700 on gold by 2700. Perceived disconnect between gold prices and interest rates is actually due to increased gold purchases by EM central banks concerned about US financial sanctions and rising US debt. This surge in central bank demand has elevated gold prices and reset the relationship between gold prices and absolute interest rate levels.
