Is Kabul the Catalyst for Markets to Fall? | Three Minutes on Markets & Money 8/16/21

(8/16/21) The collapse of Kabul, Afghanistan, tops the news, but it likely will not be much of a catalyst for markets--not as much as the Fed's role and its move to taper quantitative easing. Markets are already competing with the economy for liquidity. Like Kabul, consumer confidence is collapsing as stimulus payments run out. Markets are holding on at marginal highs with the largest equity inflows on record--both those flows are declining. We're looking at a 3% back to the 50-DMA; a reversion to the 200-DMA would be an 11% drop. Now is the time for all good men to begin thinking about hedging. - Hosted by RIA Advisors Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts -------- Get more info & commentary: https://realinvestmentadvice.com/newsletter/ -------- Visit our Site: www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to RIA Pro: https://riapro.net/home -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #Fed #Bitcoin #Gold #Stocks #Trading #Rates #Money #Markets #Finance #Taliban #Afghanistan #Kabul
