imho this will either postpone any fed rate move or it'll make a rate hike super problematic.
So now’s the time to stock up on snickers bars?
Gold is at the bottom of its range for the 52-week range.
Now is the time to end the sugar monopoly and let Americans buy sugar on the open market.
Good morning everyone, it's raining falling prices outside! Futures see metals today at -1.23% and stock indexes -0.51%. Whild this may be just another day of profitaking for stocks after yesterday's pullback in mixed trade, metals are in freefall: gold'n'silver $1,094.92 and $14.85. If that weren't enough we also got this:
7:00 AM MBA Mortgage Index
9:00 AM FHFA Housing Price Index
10:00 AM Existing Home Sales
10:30 AM Crude Inventories
“So nows the time to stock up on snickers bars?”
Apparently Kim Kardasian has been. If she gets any bigger she will be in a tank as Sea World! ;-)
“Kanbo International, the Chinese producer of artificial sweetener Sucralose, has announced plans to push into the North and South American food and beverage market.”
More Chinese chemicals in our food supply. Not a good thing.

Not anymore...
I like Chinese food as do most red-blooded Americans.
I read somewhere of a proposed Brazilian ethanol pipeline
Just imagine the possibilities for theft and the ensuing sales of moonshine, white lightening, vodka
rather than candy, the markets will produce ethanol to run automobiles
Exactly. It's time to lay off the "diet" foods.
Hard to find good crab Rangoon but there is one place close by. I can take or leave most Chinese food but love the crab Rangoon.
I thought this sugar substance you speak of was banned for the common people in the US along with salt, butter and bacon.
I like Chinese cuisine, but I will not eat anything that is produced or processed in China. Lord knows what’s in it.
you are correct-
But mooochele and barry will allow all the sugar
you can get - IF IT COMES FROM CUBA.
Now is the time to end the sugar monopoly and let Americans buy sugar on the open market.

That’s CRAZY TALK ,,, that’ll keep bakeries and candy manufacturers from closing down or relocating to Mexico and we can’t have that... (Grupo Bimbo , MEX of course , has taken over the baked goods/bread aisle in American grocery stores because of the sugar import duties here...)
Many do not realize the US has a rather large sugar price support program, as do a number of other countries. Worldwide glut of sugar means low market prices and high subsidies. More insanity.
At the same time the left is ranting about so-called “oil subsidies”. A year or two a buddy of mine complained about it and what it turned out to be is that somebody found some form of oil industry profit that hadn’t been taxed yet —that they were calling that a “subsidy”!
Good point! Plus, what about the environmental benefits from sugar cane farming in Florida? /s
(Sorry about your horse.)
