INVESTOR CONCERNS: Fed, dollar, debt, budget, tariffs, inflation, jobs, recession, geopolitical, Russia-Ukraine (199+ weeks), Israel-Hamas (67+27 weeks; fragile peace).
For the Survey week (Th-Wed), stocks up, bonds up, oil up, gold up, dollar down.
Delayed jobs & inflation reports used questionable assumptions. Strong Q3 GDP was from AI capex. ACA premium subsidy is a tax credit & the vote will be in 2026. Regional Fed Bank Presidents were reappointed in December for 5-yr terms.
