Well, I think with the route on Friday, you have to distinguish...
between the proximal cause and the ultimate or underlying cause.
The proximal cause is that we got the third consecutive quite strong monthly jobs report that show some life in the jobs market.
And when the economy is suddenly humming and we have a little bit of an inflation problem, it is very hard for the Federal Reserve to justify a cut in rates and they may even be pushed.
into raising rates.
And stock markets do not like higher interest rates.
But I would say there is a more significant underlying cause, like one rate increase between friends.
It's not going to change the picture all that dramatically.
