Weekly Indicators: same old US strength edition

 Monthly data for August included deflation in both import and export prices, a flat PPI, a flat inventory to sales ratio at elevated levels, and a decline in consumer sentiment as measured by the University of Michigan. Most analysts called the JOLTS report strong, focusing on the continued surge in job openings.  I demurred, noting that actual hires have turned negative YoY, and quits have been stalled for the last 10 months, a pattern last seen in summer 2006.
