Quote for the Day:

In the Committee’s hearings, we presented evidence of what ultimately became a multi-part plan to overturn the 2020 Presidential election. That evidence has led to an overriding and straight-forward conclusion: the central cause of January 6th was one man, former President Donald Trump, who many others followed. None of the events of January 6th would have happened without him.

The Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the Capitol. The January 6th Report: Introductory Material to the Final Report of the Select Committee.

1. Fed Watch

We get a bounce Monday AM, then drop 1/2 that much, then wiggle through Wednesday. Thursday the market makes a move, then Friday it reverses Thursday's move. That is my impression of what often happens during the course of Fed Week.

Of course Powell could proclaim victory over inflation bringing an end-of-week rip, but Jerome usually hedges everything.

I'm turning attention to other things this week. See you all on the 25th.
