Bulls Dominate The Day

Hey,

Key Weekly Performance Stats:

  • S&P 500: -0.31%
  • Nasdaq 100: -0.38% 
  • Russel 2000: +0.55%
  • Bitcoin: +8.84%
Last week, markets were choppy as escalating trade tensions under President Trump weighed on sentiment. On July 7, fresh tariff threats triggered a broad sell-off, with the S&P 500 dropping 0.8%, the Dow falling 0.9%, and the Nasdaq slipping 0.9%. Midweek brought a brief rebound—on July 9, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit new record highs. The tech sector showed specific strength. The S&P closed up 0.27%, but those gains didn’t hold. By Friday, the S&P ended the week down 0.38% as Trump floated a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, which rattled international markets and manufacturing stocks.
 
On the economic front, mixed signals and policy uncertainty dominated. June saw a federal budget surplus, partly thanks to higher tariff revenues, while consumer credit rose, suggesting modest 0.5% spending growth despite cooling inflation. Fed minutes showed ongoing debate around rate paths, and small business optimism ticked up slightly. However, global concerns—like softening inflation in China and fears of broader trade slowdowns—kept traders on edge.
 
Looking ahead, all eyes turn to Q2 earnings season and a packed economic calendar. June’s CPI and core CPI reports (out July 15) will be key for inflation trends and Fed policy expectations. Retail sales and industrial production numbers are also on deck. While markets may stay volatile due to trade headlines, solid U.S. GDP growth around 3% could help buoy stocks—if inflation continues to ease. Still, tariff risks remain a wild card. As always, respect your risk and stick to your trading plan. Godspeed.
 
Best,

Rates Get Hiked

Key Weekly Performance Stats:

  • S&P 500: -0.08%
  • Nasdaq 100: +0.94%
  • Russel 2000: -1.51%
  • Bitcoin: +4.75%

Markets were all over the place this week, but big tech held up. SPX finished basically flat, NDX gained about 0.9%, and RTY fell roughly 1.5%. The main event was the Fed, which raised rates 25 bps to 3.75% to 4.00% and kept the door open to another hike later this year.

The data stayed pretty firm. Retail sales jumped 1.2% in August, industrial production was flat, and housing was mixed. Oil stayed above $100 as Iran and regional shipping risks remained a major focus. Trump said he hoped the conflict was moving closer to an end, but energy markets stayed cautious. Lennar also reported a sharp profit drop, while Berkshire announced Warren Buffett will become chairman emeritus and Howard Buffett will take over as chairman.

Next week is lighter, but there are still a few things worth watching. Tuesday has Fed Vice Chair Philip Jefferson, Wednesday brings S&P Global flash PMIs, and Thursday is the big day with jobless claims, new-home sales, and Trump’s scheduled meeting with Xi Jinping. Friday wraps things up with durable-goods orders. As always, stick to your trading plan and respect your risk. Godspeed.
