after todays number, it is evident market is disconnect from economic reality? consumer sentiment is down, PPI has gone up, even without taking in the impact of oil crises, which im afraid will sting us next month when they throw us the number.
state street somewhere mentioned, market has already priced in the expected rate cut of 2026?
what happens when the companies miss the target next month for q1 results?
