"This Is The Big One" MN Gordon Warns "We''re All Facing A Wrath Of Biblical Proportions" Authored by MN Gordon via EconomicPrism.com, “The LORD sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts.” – 1 Samuel 2:7 Holy Roll An enterprising entrepreneur did a comedic graphic of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell captioned: “IN JPOW WE TRUST.” You may have seen it. The image shows Powell flamboyantly wearing a preacher’s robe and making an esoteric hand gesture with his right hand. His face is grimacing like he’s passing a kidney stone. His left hand holds up what appears to be an outwardly facing bible. The scriptures are sparse and hardly legible. But if you zoom in you can make out important prophecies like, “STOCKS ONLY GO UP,” “RECESSION CANCELLED,” “MONEY PRINTER GOES BRRRRRRRR.” An American dialect of French is also used in several instances to express what happens to market bears and those who short stocks. It’s the sort of thing best reserved for locker room talk. The designer, who goes by nobiggydiggy , must have created this in the risk-free days before March of this year.

Markets are jumpy, with US equities trading back and forth over the key supports at the former lows of the cycle in the major indices. The action settled near those important support levels and then futures traded softer overnight in an Asian session that saw the downward spiral in the Japanese yen accelerating despite stern words from Japan’s Ministry of Finance. It seems only a change of course from the Bank of Japan has the chance of slowing the yen’s slide. What is our trading focus? Nasdaq 100 (USNAS100.I) and S&P 500 (US500.I) US equities continued to slide lower yesterday as the US 10-year yield advanced to close at 3.35% getting closer to the recent high of 3.5%. The culprit was the much stronger than expected ISM Services yesterday pushed the Fed Funds forward curve lower indicating higher policy rates for longer. S&P 500 futures fell 0.9% and is trading lower again this morning in early European trading hours sitting around the 3,897 level. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng (HSIU2) and China’s CSI300 (03188:xhkg) Hong Kong stocks notably underperformed their mainland counterparts for the second straight session.

Equity markets were churned by the July US jobs report on Friday, first falling sharply as treasury yields jolted higher on the day, but later rallying back to close the day only modestly lower. The US yield curve is about 10 basis points from its most dramatic inversion since 1982 as the market eyes an incoming recession despite the strong US jobs data and July ISM Services data last week. This week’s chief data focus is the Wednesday US July CPI data release. What is our trading focus? Nasdaq 100 (USNAS100.I) and S&P 500 (US500.I). US equity markets saw a very choppy session on Friday as interest-rate sensitive growth stocks dipped sharply on the strong July US jobs report. The broader market recovered most of the lost ground intra-day, but performance across themes was very mixed, with our Energy Storage basket the best performer among our “theme baskets”, likely on the passage of the climate bill by the US Senate (more below). Earnings season is winding down for the quarter, but a few prominent names are set to report this week, including Walt Disney on Wednesday.

US equities ripped higher yesterday, first on a very weak first estimate of Q2 GDP that saw the market pushing Fed rate hike expectations lower still for the cycle after the Fed declared data dependent policy guidance this Wednesday. The rally accelerated steeply after the close on strong results from mega-caps Amazon and Apple and the move held well overnight despite a rather dour mood in Asia, in Japan as the JPY is rallying hard on lower global bond yields. What is our trading focus? Nasdaq 100 (USNAS100.I) and S&P 500 (US500.I). US equities rallied again yesterday as a weak first estimate of GDP saw the market taking Fed expectation to new lows for the cycle after the Fed declared itself data dependent at this week’s FOMC meeting. The action accelerated higher after the close on strong results from Amazon and Apple (more below). The action has taken the Nasdaq to the cusp of a pivotal resistance area near 13,000 and the S&P 500 is threatening its 100-day moving average for the first time since April near 4,125, with larger resistance near 4,200.

Recession fears are riding high after preliminary July PMI surveys out Friday suggest that the Eurozone economy is on the brink of recession and that the US services sector is in contraction. US treasury yields tumbled all along the yield curve late last week as the market lowers the anticipated peak Fed funds rate and sees easing inflation. Equities finally rolled over in Friday’s session after their recent squeeze higher as investors weigh recession risks and ahead of a slew of earnings reports from the largest US companies this week and the FOMC meeting on Wednesday. What is our trading focus? Nasdaq 100 (USNAS100.I) and S&P 500 (US500.I). US equity futures rolled over Friday from new local highs after the recent squeeze higher that was driven in part by excessively negative sentiment. While a sharp drop in treasury yields late last week has brought some relief as the peak Fed Funds rate was marked lower, the recession fears driving the drop in yields are a concern for corporate earnings, which were also challenged in the second quarter for US companies by the very strong US dollar.
