The US economy is now in full-blown collapse.

May 6 (King World News) – Gregory Mannarino, writing for the Trends Journal:  The Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index, the LEI, fell 0.6% in March to 97.3, more than reversing February’s small bounce. (See chart below).

Below is a one-year chart of the LEI index.

And what is it saying? (LOOK AT THIS CHART)…

The forward-looking pulse of the US economy remains in a downward trajectory… it’s essentially DEAD. Now, let’s add the still incoming oil shock.

Weak/dead forward pulse. Higher energy costs. Shipping stress. Supply-chain pressure. Consumers already under pressure. Markets still being fed “plan” headlines.

The LEI Conference Board itself is warning that rising oil prices and supply-chain tensions WILL ADD “pressure” (THERE IS THAT WORD AGAIN), to inflation and further reduce consumer purchasing power.

This is a macro “compression” story Lions. Weak forward/dead economy + oil shock + debt dependency = rising system stress.

And the propaganda machine will keep selling “plans,” “talks,” “pressure,” and “progress.”
