Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1297. Welcome back to Spy Trader! I'm your host, Captain Cashflow, and it's 6 p.m. on Thursday, July 10th, 2025, Pacific time. We're here to break down the latest market moves and help you navigate the everchanging financial seas. Let's dive right in. The US stock market is currently playing a bit of a mixed tune. On one hand, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite have recently hit brand new highs, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average knocking on the door of its own record. But just two days ago, on July 8th, largecap stocks actually saw a bit of a dip, with the S&P 500 down slightly and the Dow falling a bit more, while the Nasdaq was mostly flat. Interestingly, smallcap stocks, represented by the Russell 2000, were the top performers that day, up almost a percent. Now, let's talk sectors. Today, July 10th, nine sectors were trading higher, and it was a clear win for value names over growth. Small caps continued to lead the charge, and the Dow Transports Index soared over 3%, thanks to a big jump in airline stocks. Earlier this month, on July 1st, materials and healthcare led the gains, and utilities and consumer staples also saw some love on July 7th. But it hasn't been sunshine everywhere. The FANG Index was down 1% today, with most of its big names lower, and cybersecurity stocks were notably weak. Communication and technology lagged on July 1st, and consumer discretionary and materials took a hit on July 7th. As for the big headlines, tariffs are back in the news. On July 7th, markets reacted to President Trump announcing new tariffs, including 25% levies on goods from Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and Kazakhstan, plus 30% duties on South Africa. This follows an earlier agreement with Vietnam to reduce tariffs, and a 90day tariff pause that was set to expire on July 9th. While there are worries these tariffs could spark inflation and slow growth, the market seems a bit desensitized, perhaps seeing these as part of ongoing negotiations. On the labor front, the market's still looking healthy, though showing signs of easing up. A strong June US labor report on July 3rd, with betterthanexpected payroll gains, gave us a nice preholiday rally. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 147,000, and the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%. Initial jobless claims also hit a sixweek low. However, a recent rise in continuing jobless claims could hint at less hiring activity down the road. In company news, airlines are flying high! Delta Air Lines reported strongerthanexpected quarterly results and even brought back its fullyear guidance, sending airline stocks soaring today. United Airlines was up 14%, Delta surged 12%, and American Airlines jumped 13%. In the tech world, Nvidia continues its incredible run, becoming the first public company to surpass a four trillion dollar valuation, fueling that AI excitement. Tesla also climbed nearly 5% on news of its robotaxi expansion and the upcoming rollout of xAI's Grok chatbot in its vehicles. But not all tech giants had a great day, with Microsoft, Amazon, Meta Platforms, and Broadcom seeing slight declines. And for our crypto fans, Bitcoin made a new alltime high today. Now, let's zoom out and connect the dots with some analysis and insights. The US stock market is really navigating a complex environment right now, balancing resilient economic data with ongoing trade policy uncertainties and a mixed bag of corporate performance. The fact that the market largely 'brushed aside' those new tariff concerns suggests a degree of investor optimism. This could be driven by strong corporate earnings in certain sectors, like we saw with the airlines, and the ongoing anticipation of future interest rate adjustments. That robust jobs report and falling unemployment rate tell us the labor market is healthy, even if it's showing some signs of cooling, and that's crucial because it underpins consumer spending, a huge driver of our economy. However, we can't ignore the reemergence of tariff threats. These definitely pose a risk of renewed inflationary pressures and could temper economic growth. The Federal Reserve's cautious approach to interest rate cuts, while understandable given the labor market strength, means that borrowing costs will remain a factor for businesses and consumers. The recent outperformance of value names and smallcap stocks on some days could be a significant signal, indicating a potential shift in investor preference. It suggests a move towards more fundamentally sound, perhaps less growthdependent companies, especially if those concerns about highgrowth tech valuations continue to bubble up. The significant rally in airline stocks after Delta's strong earnings really highlights how important companyspecific fundamentals are in driving stock performance, even when there are bigger macroeconomic worries floating around. And that mixed performance within the megacap tech sector suggests that investors are becoming more ...
