Welcome back to DC Lite: Daily Chartbook’s free, entry-level newsletter containing 5 of the day’s best charts & insights.
1. QE distortion. "QE is the Fed directly growing the monetary base, complicit with a rising Federal deficit, and then holding the base (reserves) at the Fed by paying interest. This inflates financial assets but not real growth."
2. IPO activity. "The IPO market logged the busiest week since 2021 this month, with a sextet of deals raising more than $4 billion amid optimism over the prospect of a Federal Reserve interest-rate cut."
3. Levered single stock ETFs. "This chart is getting out of hand."
