Editor's Note: Below is a brief excerpt and chart from today's Early Look written by Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough. Click here to learn more.

"... As you can see in today’s Chart of The Day, Janet’s favorite “indicator” is one she calls her “Change In Labor Market Conditions Index.” After being green for, drumroll, #TheCycle… it started to go red (like it always does)… as the US economic cycle had already peaked and rolled.

 

Since this data series goes back to the 1970s, you can see that the probable outcome (from here) is for the 3 red bars just reported to go really red sometime soon. Does Janet want to be the catalyst in expediting that? When it’s really red, she has to be dovish."
