The Fed's latest beige book paints a picture of an economy just treading water amid the government shutdown. Not exactly the roaring momentum anyone hoped for.
When the central bank's regional surveys show things are merely "muddling along," it's a signal worth watching — especially for those of us tracking how macro uncertainty ripples through risk assets. Economic stagnation tends to breed volatility, and markets hate uncertainty more than bad news itself.
Interesting times ahead as policymakers navigate this mess.

Everyone has laid flat, what else is there to say? Government shutdown + economic stagflation, this wave is likely to Whipsaw.

With such strong expectations of stagnation and inflation, the crypto world is in trouble.
