Proflex Market Update - Wk 28
Dear Subscribers,
We are back with weekly overview of markets and our commentary on the price action.
Market Overview:
The S&P 500 hit a fresh record high, continuing its rally. Friday’s soft employment numbers reignited hopes for rate cuts, pushing the market to new highs by the end of the week. As we’ve consistently advised, the Fed faces political pressure to cut rates before the upcoming elections, a sentiment now driving market optimism.
However, this rally can be fickle. The Fed maintains a data-driven approach, and if inflation data doesn’t align with expectations, it may drive the markets down again. But that is not yet a problem for the markets. US10Y Yields: Late last week, US10Y yields dropped in line with rate cut expectations. We’ve highlighted that bond yields are key indicators of market expectations and direction. With no major catalysts expected until earnings reports start coming in this month, we’re closely watching this week’s trading. Last week’s market action was lighter due to the July 4th holiday, adding to the uncertainty. Earnings and AI Tailwinds: All eyes are now on quarterly earnings and whether AI-driven gains can inspire new highs. Citi analysts predict up to 8 rate cuts over the next 12 months, driven by an anticipated economic slowdown. While this aggressive rate cut may be optimistic for markets, earnings slowdown is a scenario worth monitoring. We did indicate to our subscribers last quarter that earnings have not been as spectacular for most of S&P 500 companies if we take out the leading 4-5 companies that have driven the earnings growth all this year. Cryptocurrency Market: Bitcoin faced a major correction, testing the $54k level, primarily due to Mt. Gox-related disbursements. The release of over $8 billion in assets has added liquidity, increasing volatility and potentially testing $50k. This correction could flush out excess leverage and create a solid base for future rallies. We’re closely monitoring ETF inflows as Bitcoin navigates this deeper-than-expected correction.
