The dollar jumped.</p>
<p>The S&P 500 Index, global equities and emerging-market assets tumbled at least 2 percent in the biggest rout since Britain voted to secede from the European Union. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note jumped to the highest since June and the greenback almost erased a weekly slide as a Federal Reserve official warned waiting too long to raise rates threatened to overheat the economy. German 10-year yields rose above zero for the first time since July after the European Central Bank downplayed the need for more stimulus.</p>

<div class="inline-media__unlinked-image"><img style="max-width: 1200px;" data-attachment-key="303648152" src="https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/ihL.gmrtkYTM/v2/488x-1.png" /></div>
<p>Fed Bank of Boston President Eric Rosengren’s comments moved him firmly into the hawkish camp, sending the odds for a rate hike this year above 60 percent. He spoke a day after ECB President Mario Draghi played down the prospect of an increase in asset purchases, while DoubleLine Capital Chief Investment Officer Jeffrey Gundlach <a itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="StoryLink" href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-08/gundlach-says-it-s-time-to-get-defensive-as-rates-may-rise" title="Gundlach Says It’s Time to Get Defensive as Rates May Rise (1)" data-tracker-action="click" data-tracker-category="recirc" data-tracker-label="inline_link.01">said</a> it’s time to prepare for higher rates.</p>
<p>“Dovish Fed members getting called up to bat for a hike is putting people on edge,” Yousef Abbasi, a global market strategist at JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC, said by phone. “The more hawkish-leaning investors are grabbing onto that and it’s certainly one of those days where people are positioning for that September hike being back on the table.”</p>
<p>Calm had dominated financial markets in late summer with equity volatility and bond yields near historic lows and measures of cross-asset <a itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="StoryLink" href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-08/asset-contagion-worse-than-2008-as-markets-held-hostage-to-rates" title="Asset Contagion Worse Than 2008 as Markets Held Hostage to Rates" data-tracker-action="click" data-tracker-category="recirc" data-tracker-label="inline_link.02">correlation</a> at the highest levels since at least the financial crisis. The rise in the influence of different markets on each other has been attributed to the growing impact of central bank policy on prices, and rising concern that the era of easing may be nearing an end roiled assets from bonds to currencies and stocks on Friday.</p>
<p>Concerted declines of this size in stocks and bonds are rare though not unheard of, and are usually associated with central bank hawkishness. Adding up the percentage losses in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF and the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF, the last time the moved in a similar manner was Dec. 3, 2015, when Fed Chair Janet Yellen indicated the conditions for higher rates in the U.S. had been met.</p>
<p>The last time the two ETFs each posted declines comparable in size to today’s was June 20, 2013, the start of the so-called taper tantrum, when then-Chair Ben S. Bernanke said the Fed may start reducing bond purchases that had fueled gains in markets globally.</p>
<p>Stocks</p>
<p>The S&P 500 dropped 2.5 percent to 2,127.91 at 4 p.m. in New York, the lowest level in two months. The rout halted a period of calm that saw the index no more than 1 percent in either direction for 43 days. It also sent the gauge below its average price during the past 50 days for the first time since July 6. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 394.40 points, or 2.1 percent, to 18,085.51.</p>
<p>Shares of defensive stocks led declines on U.S. exchanges as trades that investors piled into in search of dividend yields reversed amid the spike in Treasury rates. Utilities and phone stocks plunged more than 3.4 percent, while real-estate investment trusts tumbled 3.9 percent. Financials, which benefit from rising interest rates, were the best performers in the S&P 500 with a drop of 1.9 percent.</p>
<p>The MSCI AC World Index fell 2.1 percent, the most since June 27. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index slid 1.1 percent, taking its weekly drop to 1.4 percent. A Bank of America Corp. report showed fund managers withdrew money from Europe’s equity funds for a 31st straight week.</p>
<p>The MSCI Emerging Markets Index fell for the first time in six days, losing 2.2 percent, as stock indexes from Brazil to Poland tumbled at least 2.2 percent and benchmark gauges in Taiwan, Indonesia, the Philippines and Poland lost more than 1 percent. The Kospi index slid 1.3 percent in Seoul after North Korea <a itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="StoryLink" href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-09/shallow-earthquake-detected-near-north-korea-nuclear-test-site" title="North Korea Carried Out Fifth Nuclear Test, South Korea Says" data-tracker-action="click" data-tracker-category="recirc" data-tracker-label="inline_link.03">conducted</a> its fifth nuclear arms test.</p>

<a href="http://stockbuz.net/articles/fed-speak-shakes-market=edit#">Draghi’s reticence accelerated a selloff in bonds that extended from Europe to the U.S. and Japan, with longer-dated securities, which have been outperforming in recent months, being the hardest hit. While yields are still low compared with historical averages, they are quickly rising from records reached earlier this year, recalling the bond rout of 2015, which saw German 10-year yields climb more than a percentage point in less than two months.</a>
<p>The yield on German 30-year bonds climbed 10 basis points to 0.60 percent, adding to a nine-basis-point jump the previous day. The rate on similar-maturity U.S. securities rose seven basis points to 2.38 percent.</p>
<p>Chances of the Fed raising rates at the September meeting climbed to 38 percent, up 16 percentage points from Wednesday, according to fed funds futures.</p>
<p>The U.K. and Japan, two markets which have help drive the global bond rally this year, also saw losses. The yield on 10-year gilts rose to a one-month high of 0.84 percent and the Japanese 10-year yield, which has been below zero since March, climbed to minus 0.02 percent.</p>
<p>Currencies</p>
<p>The dollar climbed for a third day while emerging market currencies from South Africa to Brazil to Mexico plunged as traders boosted bets on an interest-rate increase. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index, which tracks the <a itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="StoryLink" href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-09/dollar-jumps-as-rising-september-fed-hike-odds-burn-real-to-rand" title="Dollar Jumps as Rising September Fed-Hike Odds Burn Rand to Real" data-tracker-action="click" data-tracker-category="recirc" data-tracker-label="inline_link.04">greenback</a> against 10 major peers, rose 0.5 percent. The U.S. currency gained 0.3 percent to $1.1229 per euro and was up 0.2 percent to 102.68 yen.</p>
<p>The <a itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="StoryLink" href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-09/canada-dollar-falls-as-jobs-gain-fails-to-alter-economic-outlook" title="Canada Dollar Falls as Jobs Gain Fails to Alter Economic Outlook" data-tracker-action="click" data-tracker-category="recirc" data-tracker-label="inline_link.05">Canadian</a> dollar fell as an above-forecast gain in August jobs wasn’t seen as strong enough to reverse Bank of Canada policy makers’ concern that risks to economic growth have increased.</p>
<p>Commodities</p>
<p>Oil fell the most in five weeks after the biggest U.S. stockpile slump in 17 years was seen as a one-off caused by a tropical storm that disrupted imports and offshore production. <a itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="StoryLink" href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-08/oil-set-for-weekly-gain-after-u-s-supplies-fall-most-since-1999" title="Oil Trims Weekly Gain as U.S. Stockpile Plunge Seen as One-Off" data-tracker-action="click" data-tracker-category="recirc" data-tracker-label="inline_link.06">West Texas</a> Intermediate dropped $1.74 to settle at $45.88 a barrel, paring the weekly increase to 3.2 percent.</p>
<p>Gold futures fell for a third day, dropping 0.5 percent to settle at $1,334.50 an ounce in New York. It was the longest slide since July 12. Higher rates make bullion less competitive against interest-bearing assets.</p>

His ability to change mode on a dime was unsurpassed.  Such rare gifts were both a challenge for the camera man and an inspiration to the young that anyone can bring a smile to others and in doing so, endear themselves in our heart.  I find is extremely difficult, almost impossible, to pick which Robin Williams character I loved the most.  From the inspiring English teacher John Keating in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097165/?ref_=nv_sr_1" target="_blank">Dead Poets Society</a>, to the medical student who put patients ahead of business in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0129290/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_41" target="_blank">Patch Adams</a>.  It's safe to say I loved them all.  Gone far too soon with a life unfinished.  Rest in peace Robin.  What a legacy. </p>

<p>Lastly what Christmas holiday would be complete without Art's annual poem courtesy of <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/art-cashin-christmas-poem-2014-2014-12" target="_blank">BusinessInsider</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="center">'Tis two days before Christmas</p>
<p align="center">and at each brokerage house</p>
<p align="center">The only thing stirring</p>
<p align="center">was the click of a mouse</p>
<p align="center">Down on the Exchange</p>
<p align="center">the tape inches along</p>
<p align="center">Brokers bargained and traded</p>
<p align="center">as they hummed an old song</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">The Fed says they're "patient"</p>
<p align="center">but some folks still fear</p>
<p align="center">That rates they'll start hiking</p>
<p align="center">too early next year</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">Frisco took the series</p>
<p align="center">and Seattle the Bowl</p>
<p align="center">But Tiger still struggles</p>
<p align="center">to get the ball in the hole</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">Ellen D. took a group selfie</p>
<p align="center">at the Oscar awards</p>
<p align="center">The darn thing got retweeted</p>
<p align="center">till it pulled down some boards</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">Putin scooped up Crimea</p>
<p align="center">and some parts of Ukraine</p>
<p align="center">But an oil plunge and sanctions</p>
<p align="center">are causing him pain</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">In Europe a song contest</p>
<p align="center">was won by a nun</p>
<p align="center">And the song that she sang was -</p>
<p align="center">Girls just want to have fun</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">In Portland a kid offered</p>
<p align="center">a hug to anyone near</p>
<p align="center">A cop took advantage</p>
<p align="center">for the pic of the year</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">But with Cosby and Kim K.</p>
<p align="center">there was little to cheer</p>
<p align="center">Yet it's Christmastime, Alice</p>
<p align="center">And Santa is near</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">So stop looking backwards</p>
<p align="center">have a cup of good cheer</p>
<p align="center">And kiss you a loved one</p>
<p align="center">raise your hopes for next year</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">And amidst all the trading</p>
<p align="center">Christmas themes we will heed</p>
<p align="center">And share our good fortune</p>
<p align="center">with families in need</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">And tomorrow they’ll pause</p>
<p align="center">as we wait on the bell</p>
<p align="center">To sing a tradition</p>
<p align="center">a song for old “Nell”</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">Don’t let this year’s problems</p>
<p align="center">impede Christmas Cheer</p>
<p align="center">Resolve to be happy</p>
<p align="center">throughout the New Year</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">And resist ye Grinch feelings</p>
<p align="center">let joy never stop</p>
<p align="center">Put the bad at the bottom</p>
<p align="center">keep the good on the top</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">So count up your blessings</p>
<p align="center">along with your worth</p>
<p align="center">You’re still living here</p>
<p align="center">in the best place on earth</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">And think ye of wonders</p>
<p align="center">that light children's eyes</p>
<p align="center">And hope Santa will bring you</p>
<p align="center">that Christmas surprise</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">So play ye a carol</p>
<p align="center">by Mario Lanza</p>
<p align="center">Unless you are waiting</p>
<p align="center">to celebrate Kwanzaa</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">Hanukkah’s ending</p>
<p align="center">And Ramadan’s long gone</p>
<p align="center">Different folks, different holidays</p>
<p align="center">yet each spirit lives on</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">Whatever your feast is</p>
<p align="center">we hope you all still</p>
<p align="center">Find yourself just surrounded</p>
<p align="center">by folks of goodwill</p>
<p align="center"> </p>
<p align="center">Wednesday, as the bell rings</p>
<p align="center">hark to your heart’s call</p>
<p align="center">And as Santa would shout</p>
<p align="center">Merry Christmas to All!</p>

The CBO had already made the predictions of the shift in U.S. ethnicity and companies had to prepare. Fast forward 10 or 25 years from now now and just what will be the face of the consumer ahead?  What about job growth, income growth and how many older Americans will fall off of the economic spending gap?</p>
