    Market Swings: Tariffs, Tech, and Fed Outlook
    2025/07/12
    Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1300. Welcome to Spy Trader, your goto podcast for navigating the unpredictable currents of the stock market. I'm your host, Sparky SPYder, and it's 6 am on Saturday, July 12th, 2025, Pacific time. We've just wrapped up a pretty wild week in the markets, so let's dive right into what's been moving the needle.First up, a quick market recap. The US stock market had a volatile few days, with major indices pulling back by the end of the week after hitting record highs earlier. For the week ending July 11th, all major US stock indexes finished in the red. The S&P 500 fell 0.31%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1.3% for the week, and the Nasdaq Composite lost a modest 0.08%. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies was also down 0.9%. Now, early in the week, specifically on July 8th, both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite actually reached alltime highs, partly driven by strong performance in chipmakers. But that momentum eased by Friday.Looking at sector performance, it was a mixed bag. For the week, Energy was the strongest performer, up 2.22%, closely followed by Utilities, up 0.67%. On the flip side, Consumer Defensive, down 1.75%, and Financial Services, down 1.71%, were the weakest sectors. Information Technology, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, and Communications Services continue to hold significant weight in the S&P 500, collectively accounting for over 66% of the index. In tech, we saw a jump in positive earnings guidance for the second quarter, but also the largest increase in negative guidance, showing some mixed signals there.A dominant theme impacting market sentiment was the ongoing talk around the Trump administration's tariff policies. New tariffs ranging from 25% to 40% on imports from over a dozen nations, including Japan, South Korea, and Canada, are set to take effect on August 1st. There were also hints of potential tariffs on pharmaceuticals and copper. While these announcements initially caused some broad selloffs, the market's response to the latest news was somewhat muted, perhaps because investors are either hoping for a deescalation or have already factored in some of the impact.The Federal Reserve's monetary policy remained a key focus. The FOMC held interest rates steady at 4.25%4.5% in June and is widely expected to maintain this stance at its upcoming July 30th meeting. However, market participants and some analysts anticipate rate cuts later in 2025, potentially starting in September or October, with some forecasts suggesting multiple 25basispoint cuts by yearend. The Fed’s cautious approach is influenced by persistent inflation, partly due to tariff concerns, and the state of the labor market.Q2 2025 corporate earnings season is just around the corner, set to begin next week. Overall earnings growth for Q2 is expected to be less than 6% yearoveryear.On the companyspecific front, Amazon’s extended Prime Day ran from July 8th to July 11th, which could impact consumer spending data. U.S. Cellular shares rose after the Justice Department announced it would not block TMobile's proposed acquisition. In the tech sector, Corning’s shares soared after the company boosted its guidance due to strong demand for optical connectivity products in AI applications, and Super Micro Computer also saw a significant jump as AIrelated stocks gained. Conversely, airline stocks, including United and American, lost ground on Friday after an earlier rally spurred by encouraging quarterly results from Delta Air Lines.Now, for the big picture, macroeconomic conditions. The labor market continues to show resilience. The June 2025 jobs report indicated that nonfarm payroll employment increased by 147,000, exceeding consensus estimates, and the unemployment rate remained low at 4.1%. Initial jobless claims also decreased. However, a gradual decline in yearoveryear average hourly earnings to 3.7% in June suggests a softening, which some see as a good sign for labor costs.Inflation remains a concern, with the Consumer Price Index for June, to be released next week, expected to show an uptick due to the impact of tariffs. In May, the annual inflation rate increased to 2.4%, and core inflation remained at 2.8%, still above the Fed's 2% target. Analysts anticipate June CPI to rise to 2.6% and core CPI to 2.9% yearoveryear.On the economic growth front, real GDP likely returned to growth in the second quarter after a mild contraction in Q1. However, this rebound was primarily attributed to a drop in imports rather than robust consumer or business demand. Consumer spending saw a broadbased decline in May. The overall economic outlook is marked by uncertainty, with the

    Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1299. Hey everyone and welcome back to Spy Trader, your goto podcast for navigating the unpredictable currents of the stock market! I'm your host, Professor Penny Pincher, and it's 6 pm on Friday, July 11th, 2025, Pacific time. We've had quite the week, so let's jump right into it.The US stock market just wrapped up a week of slight pullbacks, snapping some impressive winning streaks. The Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all closed lower for the week. The biggest headline, and certainly the biggest market mover, has been President Donald Trump's announcements regarding new tariffs. We're talking potential hefty tariffs, including a whopping 35% on Canadian imports starting August 1st, and 15% or 20% levies on most other countries, up from the current 10%. Earlier in the week, he even hit us with a 50% tariff on all copper imports, which sent copper prices briefly soaring.In other news, Amazon's Prime Day event was wrapping up, and Amazon shares saw a slight climb. Nvidia, the tech giant, made history by becoming the first company to hit a $4 trillion market capitalization just yesterday, though its shares were mixed today. And remember that big jump in airline stocks from Delta's strong earnings? Well, they gave back some of those gains today, with United and American Airlines feeling the pressure.Now, let's talk about what all this means for your portfolio. We're truly in a tugofwar scenario right now. On one side, you have the resilience of corporate earnings, with strong Q1 growth and a projected 7% for Q2, along with a surprisingly robust job market that added 147,000 jobs in June. On the other side, you have these looming macroeconomic uncertainties, primarily driven by these new tariff threats.These tariffs are the biggest cloud on the horizon. They're expected to push inflation higher by increasing import costs, which could complicate the Federal Reserve's goal of reaching its 2% inflation target. This makes the Fed's job even harder, and it's likely they'll hold rates steady at their July 30th meeting, or at least keep us guessing. Higher interest rates and increased costs due to tariffs could slow down economic growth and impact consumer spending, even though Q2 GDP is expected to rebound. We've seen a noticeable shift in market behavior: in the first half of the year, sectors like Communication Services were flying high, but now, sectors like Energy, Basic Materials, and Financials are showing strength in July. This tells us investors are rotating, looking for value and resilience in a more challenging environment.So, what's a savvy Spy Trader to do?Here are a few recommendations:First, consider emphasizing defensive and valueoriented positions. Sectors like Basic Materials and Financials have shown recent strength and tend to be more resilient when economic uncertainty or inflation rises. This market rotation is a clear signal that value stocks might outperform growth.Second, you absolutely must monitor tariff developments closely. These announcements are highly unpredictable and can cause sudden market swings. Companies with international supply chains are particularly vulnerable, so look for those with diversified operations or a strong domestic focus.Third, maintain liquidity and diversification. In uncertain times, having cash on hand allows you to react quickly to opportunities or downturns. A welldiversified portfolio across different asset classes and geographies helps spread out the risk.Fourth, focus on companies with strong balance sheets and stable earnings. When costs could rise due to tariffs and interest rates remain elevated, financially healthy companies are better equipped to weather the storm, maintain dividends, and keep growing without excessive debt.Fifth, exercise caution with broad exposure to the Consumer Discretionary sector. While some individual stocks are doing well, as a whole, this sector has lagged. Consumer sentiment, despite a slight uptick, is still lower than a year ago, and tariffs could further impact consumer purchasing power, especially for durable goods.Finally, pay very close attention to the Federal Reserve's communications. Their assessment of inflation, particularly in light of these tariffs, and any signals about future interest rate policy, will be crucial. Any unexpected shifts could significantly impact market direction.That's all for this episode of Spy Trader. Stay vigilant, stay informed, and trade smart out there. I'm Professor Penny Pincher, and I'll catch you next time!

  • Market Record Run: Strategy for Today’s Trades

    Market Record Run: Strategy for Today’s Trades
    2025/07/11
    Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1298. Hey there, Spy Traders! It's your main man, Cash Cow Charlie, here, bright and early at 6 am on Friday, July 11th, 2025, Pacific time. Hope you've got your coffee brewed and your trading screens ready, because we're diving deep into the market action. Let's get right into it! Today, the US stock market is showing a bit of a mixed bag. The S&P 500 is up a modest 0.4% or 0.61% at 6,263.26, hitting new records. The Nasdaq Composite also saw gains, rising around 0.94% to 20,611.34 or 0.14% to 20,440.95, also at new alltime highs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up slightly too, about 0.49% to 44,458.30 or 0.43%, though one report showed it down 0.37% at 44,240.76. Interestingly, smallcap stocks, represented by the Russell 2000, are outperforming, up approximately 0.5% today and extending their fiveday gains to 1.7%. Overall, we're seeing value stocks taking the lead over growth stocks right now. Looking at sector performance, it's a varied landscape. Consumer Discretionary is leading the charge, up 1.12%, followed by Energy at 0.78%, Financials at 0.66%, Health Care at 0.64%, Industrials at 0.53%, Materials at 0.51%, Real Estate at 0.48%, Consumer Staples at 0.37%, and Utilities at 0.81%, all showing positive daily gains. The Dow Transports Index is notably up over 3%. This strong showing in sectors like Industrials and Consumer Discretionary, especially airlines and travel, is thanks to some great companyspecific news. On the flip side, Technology is slightly down by 0.32% and Communication Services by 0.33%, with the FANG Index down 1% and cybersecurity names looking a bit weak today. This comes after their strong recent run, of course. Now, for some of the big movers today. Delta Air Lines, ticker DAL, surged an impressive 12% after confirming its fullyear earnings guidance. This gave a huge boost to the entire travel sector, with United Airlines Holdings Inc., UAL, and Southwest Airlines Co., LUV, also seeing significant gains. Nvidia, NVDA, added 0.75%, extending its gains after becoming the first public company to surpass a four trillion dollar valuation, truly showing the power of the AI rally. Tesla, TSLA, jumped 4.7% on optimism about its robotaxi expansion and plans to put xAI's Grok chatbot into its vehicles. Other gainers include Caesars Entertainment Inc., CZR, Estee Lauder Companies Inc., EL, and Teradyne Inc., TER. Alright, let's talk about the bigger picture, the macroeconomic environment that's shaping these movements. The positive performance of the S&P 500 and Nasdaq to new highs, despite some daily fluctuations, suggests underlying strength, partly driven by strong corporate fundamentals, especially among largecap tech companies like Nvidia benefiting from the AI boom. The strong performance in sectors like Consumer Discretionary and Industrials today is a direct result of positive companyspecific news, like Delta Airlines' reaffirmed earnings guidance, indicating healthy consumer demand and corporate outlook in certain areas. The outperformance of smallcap equities and value stocks could suggest a broadening of the market rally. Inflation is still a key factor, with consumer prices up 2.4% in May yearoveryear, and core CPI at 2.8%, still above the Fed's 2% target. While the impact of tariffs on inflation has been more muted than expected so far, economists are warning the full effect could still be months away. The Federal Reserve has kept its benchmark interest rate steady at 4.25% to 4.50%. Minutes from their June meeting show most policymakers think some rate reduction will be appropriate this year, with some speculation of cuts resuming this fall. Higher bond yields, like the 10year US Treasury bond, have risen to 4.4% in May, but the market seems to be looking past current high rates due to strong corporate fundamentals. On the employment front, the US unemployment rate actually edged down to 4.1% in June, defying expectations and showing a stable labor market. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 147,000 in June, and initial jobless claims fell to a sixweek low of 227,000 today. However, we've seen continuing claims rise to nearly two million, which is the highest since late 2021, suggesting some people are having a tougher time finding new jobs. The biggest wildcard continues to be trade policy and tariffs. President Trump's administration keeps implementing and threatening new tariffs, like a potential 35% on Canadian goods, 50% on Brazilian goods, and a 50% tariff on copper starting in August. While the market has seemed a bit desensitized to this news, expecting deals or delays, the risk of deeper economic disruptions is definitely rising. The 90day tariff pause with China also expired just yesterday, July 9th, which could bring back some policy uncertainty. So, what does all this mean for your portfolio? Here are my concrete recommendations: First, maintain diversified exposure, favoring quality and value. Given ...
