What The Fundies Are Saying…
“And I think if you get those three combos, a final flush out of all this leverage in Bitcoin down to 10K, 15K, somewhere around that and inflation expectations picking up, which I think come in the next quarter or so, and we already know every central bank has already made a policy mistake and likely to continue to do more. That is the perfect scenario for a bottom in Bitcoin.” — Brian Kelly, CEO of BKCM LLC, June 30
“It’s very evidently a slowdown in the economy. The warning signs are starting to emerge, and the more we see those warning signs start to trickle into the labor market, the more the Federal Reserve is going to have to take heed and that’s what puts such focus on next Friday’s (July 8) payroll report.” — David Page, head of macro economic research at AXA Investment Managers, July 1
“Weakness to date has been almost entirely multiple contraction, earnings are the next shoe to drop. Guidance during Q2 and Q3 earnings season will ultimately dictate the depth of this selloff, but the market likely cannot sustain a new bull market until inflation and inflation expectations are well under control and the Fed can, at a minimum, back off the hawkish rhetoric.” — Ross Mayfield, Baird investment strategy analyst, June 30
👀What We’re Watching👀
• The Federal Reserve releases the minutes from its most recent interest rate policy meeting this Wednesday. Last month, the central bank intensified its fight against high inflation, raising its key interest rate by three-quarters of a point, the largest hike since 1994. The Fed also signaled more rate increases ahead as it tries to cool off the U.S. economy without causing a recession. Hawkish or dovish language could set the tone for the rest of trade for the week.
• A general rally in equities as Funds put money to work at the beginning of the third quarter. The following chart shows average daily S&P 500 Index returns from five trading days before (days -5 to -1) to five trading days after (days 1 to 5) the end of June over the full sample period, with one standard deviation variability ranges. Results suggest some strength around the mid-year point, but variability is large compared to any anomalies.
• The Labor Department issues its monthly tally of hiring by nonfarm employers Friday. Economists predict employers added about 263,000 jobs last month.
