Russia is pulling some troops out of Syria. Many are hopeful this will signal an end to hostilities. Many are also thinking this will put pressure on the Assad regime to cut a peace deal. The Free Syrian Army, Al Qaeda, ISIS and the U.S., on the other side of the conflict, are dreaming if they think Russia is going to turn over Syria to ISIS and lose its new air base or give up its strategic port in Tartus. The Russians turned the tide of war in Syria with a surge in military power just like the U.S. did in Afghanistan. This is simply a cost cutting measure, and Russia says, if need be, it can send back troops quickly.
The Fed came out this week and surprise, surprise, it’s not going to raise interest rates. Why not hike rates? After all, it’s been harping that the economy was getting stronger. The simple answer is the economy is not getting stronger. It’s clearly getting weaker. Greg Mannarino of TradersChoice.net says this is really a “no confidence vote in the economy.” Mannarino also contends, “Gold is going up and so is the stock market—for now.” Mannarino says, “The market will top soon, and gold is going to the moon. All the global central banks are doing, at this point, is financing bankrupt governments.”
