  • Market Moves: Inflation, Rates, and Growth

    Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1311. Welcome back to Spy Trader, your goto podcast for navigating the twists and turns of the market! I'm your host, Market Maven Max, and it's 12 pm on Thursday, July 17th, 2025, Pacific time. We've got a lot to unpack today as the market continues its fascinating dance. Let's dive right in. The U.S. stock market is showing a mixed but generally upward trend, with the S&P 500 Index, which you can track with ETFs like the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, ticker SPY, the iShares CORE S&P 500 ETF, ticker IVV, or the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, ticker VOO, standing at 6294 points. It's up 0.49% today, a healthy 5.24% over the past month, and an impressive 13.52% yearoveryear. The Nasdaq Composite, tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust, ticker QQQ, has also been hitting new record highs recently. On the macroeconomic front, we're seeing a resilient labor market, but inflation is still being a bit stubborn. The annual inflation rate rose to 2.7% in June, up from 2.4% in May, with core inflation at 2.9%, both still above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. We're feeling it at the grocery store, with eggs up over 27% and roasted coffee over 12% yearoveryear. The Federal Reserve has held the federal funds rate steady at 4.25% to 4.50% since December 2024, and with this persistent inflation, a rate cut isn't expected at their July 29th and 30th meeting. Most market watchers are now looking to September for the start of potential 25basispoint cuts. GDP growth has been a bit wobbly, with a 0.5% annualized contraction in the first quarter, partly due to a surge in imports ahead of new tariffs. The secondquarter GDP growth is estimated at 2.4%, but overall annual GDP growth for 2025 is projected to slow down considerably from 2024. The labor market, thankfully, remains a bright spot, with the unemployment rate slightly decreasing to 4.1% in June, and weekly jobless claims falling. Wage growth around 3% is helping consumer spending, even if finding new jobs seems a bit harder. Consumer sentiment is a mixed bag, with some indices stable but still below last year's levels, while others, like the University of Michigan's index, saw a jump in June. Despite some

  • Tech Surge & Inflation Watch
    2025/07/17
    Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1310. Welcome back to Spy Trader, your daily dive into the market madness! It's 6 pm on Wednesday, July 16th, 2025, Pacific time, and I'm your host, Money Mike, ready to break down today's market movers and shakers. Today, the broader US stock market, as tracked by ETFs like SPY and VOO, showed moderate gains, buoyed by continued investor optimism. The tech sector, represented by QQQ and XLK, was a clear leader, pushing higher on the back of strong earnings reports from a few key players in the AI and cloud computing space. Financials, like XLF, also saw some positive momentum, suggesting continued confidence in economic activity. On the flip side, the bond market, specifically ETFs like AGG and BND, edged lower, as persistent inflation concerns weighed on fixed income. Breaking down today's movements, the significant gains in the technology sector, as seen in QQQ and XLK, really tell a story. We're seeing strong investor appetite for growth, particularly in areas like AI and cloud computing, where recent earnings from major tech firms have exceeded expectations. This confirms a trend of growth stocks leading the charge when economic sentiment is positive. For financials, XLF's modest rise hints at a resilient banking sector, benefiting from the current economic growth and potentially higher net interest margins. This suggests a healthy, albeit carefully watched, financial landscape. Now, let's talk about bonds. The slight dip in AGG and BND today is a subtle but important signal. It points to ongoing inflation concerns that are keeping bond yields elevated. This implies that while the stock market is showing resilience, the Federal Reserve might not be in a hurry to cut rates, as it battles persistent inflationary pressures. Healthcare, represented by XLV, remained relatively stable, acting as a defensive anchor in a market with a clear growth bias. Alright, let's talk about what all this means for your portfolio. Based on today's action, if you're an investor looking for growth and are comfortable with the current market valuations, you might continue to look towards the technology sector. For example, considering an ETF like Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) could be a way to gain exposure to the Nasdaq100's leading tech and growth companies. The reasoning here is simple: strong earnings and ongoing innovation, particularly in AI, continue to provide tailwinds for this sector. However, always remember the importance of diversification. Even with tech leading, a broad market ETF like the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) remains a solid foundational holding for overall US equity exposure, helping to smooth out sectorspecific volatility. And given the persistent inflation signals we discussed earlier from the bond market, for those looking to balance their equity exposure, you might consider a small allocation to a defensive sector like healthcare, via Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLV), or even a bond ETF like iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG), not as a growth play, but as a potential hedge against broader economic uncertainty or if interest rates eventually pivot.

  • Market Currents: Decoding Today’s Mixed Signals
    2025/07/16
    Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1309. Hello and welcome to Spy Trader, your daily dose of market wisdom! I'm your host, Money Mike, and it's 6 am on Wednesday, July 16th, 2025, Pacific time. We've got a lot to unpack today as the market navigates a truly mixed bag of economic signals. Let's dive right in. The US stock market is currently a fascinating puzzle. The S&P 500, or US500, saw a slight dip of 0.08% in its latest session, settling at 6239 points. However, zoom out a bit, and it's up a healthy 4.28% over the past month and an impressive 11.64% yearoveryear, hitting an alltime high of 6302.04 earlier this month. Yeartodate, the S&P 500 has returned 6.77%. The techheavy Nasdaq Composite and Nasdaq100, which you know as QQQ, have shown incredible resilience, with the Nasdaq100 returning 9.27% yeartodate as of July 15th, recovering strongly from an earlier dip. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, or DJI, settled lower by nearly 1% recently, but it's still showing a solid 3.2% to 4.3% return yeartodate, and a strong 4.32% over the past month. On the macroeconomic front, we're seeing some interesting trends. Inflation is stubborn, with the annual rate accelerating to 2.7% in June, up from 2.4% in May. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy, also rose to 2.9%. A major factor here is President Trump's tariff policies, driving up costs for everything from furniture to food, with eggs up over 27% annually, coffee up nearly 13%, and ground beef up over 10%. Due to these inflation concerns, the Federal Reserve has kept its key interest rate steady at 4.25% to 4.5%. That June inflation report pretty much dashed any hopes for a July rate cut. However, economists, including those at Goldman Sachs, are still anticipating rate cuts to begin in September or October, with predictions of 25basispoint cuts in September, October, and December. GDP growth is strong in Q2, with forecasts around 2.1% to 2.6%, but it's expected to slow sharply in the second half of the year, potentially dropping to 0.75% in Q3. The labor market, however, remains remarkably strong. Nonfarm employment increased by 147,000 jobs in June, and the unemployment rate surprisingly fell to 4.1%, its lowest since February. While job gains are robust, wage growth is gradually declining, which could be a positive sign for employers. Turning to recent news and company events, President Trump's tariff threats, including 30% on imports from Mexico and the EU starting August 1st, are a major source of investor anxiety, with over 90% of S&P 500 companies mentioning tariffs in their Q1 earnings calls. The Q2 earnings season is well underway, with S&P 500 companies reporting 4.8% yearoveryear earnings growth. In the Financials sector, we saw major banks like Bank of America, ticker BAC, and Goldman Sachs, ticker GS, report today. Goldman Sachs notably reported diluted EPS of $10.91 for Q2 2025, up significantly from last year, and even increased its quarterly dividend. The Financials sector is projected for 2.4% earnings growth overall, led by Consumer Finance and Insurance. In Healthcare, Johnson & Johnson, JNJ, announced strong Q2 results, with sales growth of 5.8% and raised its fullyear 2025 outlook. And in tech, ASML Holding, ASML, a crucial semiconductor equipment supplier, reported Q2 net sales at the top end of its guidance at €7.7 billion and a strong gross margin, shipping its first nextgen chip system. And speaking of tech, Nvidia, NVDA, the AI giant, rallied 4% on Tuesday due to optimism about resuming sales of its H20 AI chips to China. Lastly, Bitcoin continues its upward trend, hitting new record highs, and cryptorelated stocks have also performed well. So, what does all this mean for your portfolio? Here are my recommendations: First, Embrace Growth with Caution in Technology and AI. The Information Technology sector is a powerhouse, especially with AI driving demand. For broad exposure, consider the Invesco QQQ Trust, ticker QQQ, which focuses on the Nasdaq100's tech giants. Or for a diversified approach to S&P 500 tech companies, the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund, ticker XLK, is a solid choice. Companies like Nvidia, NVDA, which saw a recent rally on news of resuming China chip sales, exemplify the strong underlying demand in this space. Second, Monitor Financials for Value and Stability. The Financials sector is showing positive earnings, especially in consumer finance and insurance. While interest rates are high, a stable rate environment can benefit certain banking activities. For diversified exposure to banks and insurance, the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund, ticker XLF, is a good option. Keep an eye on established names like Bank of America, BAC, and Goldman Sachs, GS, following their recent earnings reports. Third, Consider Defensive Plays Amid Macroeconomic Uncertainty. With inflation still elevated and a potential GDP slowdown in the latter half of the year, defensive sectors can ...
