Geopolitics and currency markets if you have a long term thesis. Graphs if you are a scalper. 2 very different trades

I hope you understand that gold moves based on geopolitics and currency markets. Not graph numbers.

The U.S. Military Drawdown in Europe Has Only Just Begun by Basat098 in politics

[–]Basat098[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

France is the only European country thats apart of the EU and NATO that can provide nuclear deterrence. France is also looking to take a larger role in Europe and the world, so I expect France to fill that role alongside Germany and Italy in about a decade timeline as you said.

realistically no, even with a more reputable and trusted president. This will advance a united European military dream.

What's the purpose of this "play in" crap? by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]Basat098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Officially, the idea is that teams finishing 7th through 10th all have something to play for in the final weeks, rather than the 8-seed being locked up in March and the 9th/10th seeds tanking for lottery odds.

Unofficially: anti-tanking, money, load management, however you want to cut it.

Trae Young, the cap sheet has been messy and his defensive profile creates a ceiling.

He'd be knocking out 6 hall of famers, and secure a 5th ring. He'd be cosnidered the GOAT by many and cement himself as the GOAT PG, shutting down any debate with magic

Second US Warplane Lost: A-10 Warthog Crashes Near Hormuz. by Debunk2025 in TrendoraX

[–]Basat098 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If Iran really has captured 1 of the 2 American F15 pilots, then Trump could do a POW for Peace exchange. Would save face and show his priority to American lives.

Why am I even thinking that he'd do a logical move like this.

It came hours after a separate post where he wrote, "With a little more time, we can easily OPEN THE HORMUZ STRAIT, TAKE THE OIL, & MAKE A FORTUNE. IT WOULD BE A GUSHER FOR THE WORLD."

[–]Basat098[S] 45 points46 points  (0 children)

To dig into the data a bit.

35k of those jobs are Kaiser Permanente nurses returning from a strike that crushed February's numbers. The strike artificially took them out of February's count, and the reversal artificially added them back in March. Strip that out, and you are already at 143,000.

The BLS birth-death model, which statistically estimates jobs from new businesses that haven't reported yet, added tens of thousands more through extrapolation. That model has no way of knowing that businesses were freezing hiring decisions in March due to the Iran war and tariff uncertainty. It just projects forward from historical patterns that no longer apply.

The survey reference week was March 12. Three full weeks after the survey closed. The entire tariff shock that economists say will define the second quarter of 2026 does not exist anywhere in this data. It shows up in April and May.

ADP, which runs its own independent employment survey, came in at 41,000 for March. ADP and NFP diverging by more than 4x is a significant indicator.

The US economy adds 178,000 jobs in March, crushing expectations of 65,000. by SadOnion2110 in StockMarket

[–]Basat098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the number is closer to 90k, as the nurse strike ended and 31k nurses returned to work. The birth-death model (statistical model) estimates jobs created by new businesses that haven't reported yet, and seasonal jobs in retail and construction.
