The lowest job claims in 49 years coupled with the loosest financial conditions in 25 years, yet the Fed panic stopped all rate hikes following a 20% market drop and for all intents and purposes has ended its rate hike cycle.

$SPX rallying 23% off the December lows and coming within 1.2% of all time highs on Friday and the president of the United Stated calling for rate cuts and a recommencement of QE.

$SPX Q1 earnings projected to come in negative yet markets ignoring all bad economic surprise data presuming the slowdown to be over.
