    Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1304. Hello, investors, and welcome back to Spy Trader, your goto podcast for navigating the unpredictable currents of the stock market! I'm your host, Marty Marketmover, and it's 6 pm on Monday, July 14th, 2025, Pacific time. We've got a lot to unpack for you today, so let's dive right in. The US stock market has been on a wild ride, generally holding near record highs, though with some underlying concerns bubbling up. The S&P 500 recently touched an alltime high of 6,290.22 on July 9th, and it's up 0.1% for today, sitting just under that record. It's also seen a solid 3.48% increase in the past month and 12.12% over the last year. The Nasdaq Composite also closed at a new record today, rising 0.3% to 20,640.33. Not to be left out, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.2% today, with a 4.42% increase over the month and 11.75% over the year. Overall, our major U.S. equities indexes edged higher to kick off the week, recovering from some earlier dips. Diving into sector performance, for the trading week that wrapped up on July 11th, energy and utilities were the stars, up 2.22% and 0.67% respectively. On the flip side, consumer defensive and financial services were the weakest links, dropping 1.75% and 1.71%. For individual movers today, EQT Corp, a natural gas producer, advanced a strong 5.3% due to rising natural gas futures, making it a top S&P 500 performer. Meanwhile, Waters, a lab equipment maker, saw its shares plunge 13.8% after announcing an acquisition deal. Looking at the broader news, trade policy continues to be a big focus. President Donald Trump's latest tariff threats, including potential tariffs on imports from Mexico and the European Union, have injected some uncertainty, though the market largely seems to be shrugging them off for now, hovering near record highs. New tariffs were announced on over 20 countries, with a 90day pause now extended to August 1st. Earnings season is just kicking into high gear this second full week of July, led by banking giants like JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo. Analysts are expecting a 4.8% earnings growth rate for S&P 500 companies, which would be the lowest since Q4 2023. And on the legislative front, the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' was signed into law on July 4th, extending parts of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and bringing in some new tax breaks and spending cuts. Now, for the macroeconomic picture: The Federal Reserve kept its policy interest rate range steady at 4.25% to 4.50% at its June 2025 meeting. This marks the fourth consecutive meeting they've held rates steady, aiming to get inflation closer to their 2% target. Investors are now broadly anticipating two rate cuts in 2025. The Fed noted that 'uncertainty about the economic outlook has diminished but remains elevated.' Inflationwise, the annual rate for the US nudged up to 2.4% in May 2025 from 2.3% in April, still below the expected 2.5%. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, was 2.8% in May. Our Fed's target, remember, is 2%. For GDP growth, the US economy actually contracted 0.50% in the first quarter of 2025 over the previous quarter, though it expanded by 2% yearoveryear in Q1. Looking ahead, the US GDP growth rate is expected to see its strongest quarterly growth of the year in Q2 2025, forecasted at 2.10%, before a sharp slowdown in the second half of the year. Finally, the US unemployment rate dipped slightly to 4.1% in June 2025 from 4.2% in May, defying expectations of a rise. It's been holding steady within a narrow 4.0% to 4.2% range since May 2024, signaling broad labor market stability. The insured unemployment rate was 1.3% for the week ending June 28th, unchanged from the prior week. So, what does all this mean for your portfolio? The market's current state really shows a push and pull between some strong positive forces and some noticeable cautionary signals. On the positive side, we've got a super robust labor market, reflected in that low unemployment rate, which usually points to healthy consumer spending and corporate activity. The buzz around potential Federal Reserve rate cuts later this year is also generally bullish, as lower borrowing costs can definitely stimulate economic activity. And let's not forget the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hitting new highs; that clearly indicates strong investor confidence, especially in our tech and growth sectors. But hold on, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. We've got a few challenges and risks to keep an eye on. That persistent inflation, for instance. While it's come down from its peak, the fact that it's still above the Fed's 2% target means the Fed might stay a bit cautious, potentially delaying those deeper rate cuts the market is hoping for. This 'sticky' inflation could also eat into purchasing power and corporate profit margins. Then there's the economic slowdown. That Q1 2025 GDP contraction and the expectation of a sharp slowdown in the ...

  • Market Outlook: Tariffs & Tactics
    2025/07/14
    Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1303. Welcome back to Spy Trader, your goto podcast for navigating the twists and turns of the market! I'm your host, Marty Marketmover, and it's 12 pm on Monday, July 14th, 2025, Pacific time. We've got a lot to unpack today, so let's dive right in. The US stock market is seeing a bit of a midday dip, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 0.63%, the NASDAQ down 0.22%, and the S&P 500 down 0.33%. Now, while we're seeing some red today, let's keep it in perspective: the broader market has been incredibly resilient. The US500 index, our S&P 500 equivalent, has climbed nearly 4% over the past month and an impressive 11.38% over the last year, hovering near record highs.Our sector performance is quite mixed today, showing that investors are rotating their interests. Leading the charge are Communication Services, up 0.99%, Financials gaining 0.70%, Real Estate up 0.47%, and Industrials increasing by 0.46%. Technology and Healthcare are also seeing small gains. On the flip side, Energy is down 1.29%, Materials are off 0.55%, and Consumer Staples and Utilities are also in negative territory.Now for the big headlines shaping the market. A significant headwind is the announcement of new trade tariffs on over 20 countries, with rates ranging from 20% to 50%. These are set to kick in on August 1st after a 90day pause, bringing a bit of a 'riskoff sentiment' to the market. Good news for some, though: Vietnam and the UK have already secured trade deals with the US, resulting in lower tariff rates for their exports.On the fiscal front, the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act', or OBBBA, was signed into law on July 4th. This legislation extends provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and introduces new tax breaks and spending cuts. It's projected to increase government deficits by 3.3 trillion dollars over the next decade.In the crypto world, Bitcoin had a notable surge over the weekend, hitting a new alltime high of 123,000 dollars, with other altcoins also seeing sharp increases. Discussions about establishing a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies are starting up in the House.And it's earnings season! The official start is this week. Analysts are anticipating a 5% annual earnings growth for S&P 500 companies, which is a decrease from the 13% growth we saw in the first quarter of 2025.Looking at the bigger picture, the US economy experienced a contraction in the first quarter of 2025, with real GDP decreasing at an annual rate of 0.5%, following a 2.4% increase in the fourth quarter of 2024. This decline was largely due to an increase in imports and a decrease in government spending, partially offset by increased investment and consumer spending. The economy is forecasted to slow significantly in the second half of 2025, with GDP growth potentially reaching only 0.8% yearoveryear by the fourth quarter, largely due to what some are calling a 'demand cliff' as businesses and consumers frontloaded purchases ahead of anticipated trade restrictions.Inflationwise, Core Personal Consumption Expenditures, or PCE, inflation stands around 2.3%, still a bit above the Federal Reserve's 2% target. The newly imposed tariffs are expected to contribute to a 'renewed inflation impulse,' potentially pushing core PCE inflation to 3.1% by yearend.The Federal Reserve maintained its federal funds rate at 4.25% to 4.50% at its June meeting and is expected to hold off on further rate cuts for now, waiting for more clarity on inflation and the impact of tariffs. Rate cuts are anticipated to resume in the fall, possibly approaching 3% to 3.5% into 2026 as inflation moderates.The labor market is described as resilient but cooling. In May, 139,000 jobs were added, and the unemployment rate remained steady at 4.2%. This stability gives the Fed some flexibility in its monetary policy decisions.Beyond the broader market trends, companyspecific news includes Starbucks' decision to increase its inoffice work requirement to four days a week as part of a turnaround strategy. Companies like Autodesk Inc. are up 5.64%, Fortinet Inc. is up 4.16%, and EQT Corp is up 4.14% today, among notable gainers. The start of the official earnings season this week will bring more companyspecific updates and likely drive individual stock movements.Alright, let's talk strategy. The market right now is a bit of a tugofwar between its strong underlying longterm foundation and some immediate headwinds, mainly those new trade tariffs. These tariffs are a primary concern, with potential inflationary impacts and a projected slowdown in GDP growth in the latter half of the year. While the fiscal stimulus from the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' could offer some support, it also adds to our longterm deficit concerns. The Federal Reserve is playing it patient, waiting for more economic clarity, which suggests a measured approach to monetary policy with potential rate cuts later in the year if inflation cools off. ...

  • Market Pulse: Navigating the Week Ahead
    2025/07/14
    Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1302. Welcome back, traders, to Spy Trader, your goto podcast for navigating the ups and downs of the market! I'm your host, Candlestick Carl, and it's 6 am on Monday, July 14th, 2025, Pacific time. We've got a lot to unpack today as we kick off another trading week. First up, the latest inflation data released over the weekend showed a slight cooling in core consumer prices, which is certainly a positive sign, but the overall headline inflation remains sticky. We also saw some mixed corporate earnings reports last week, with tech giants generally outperforming but some consumer discretionary companies showing signs of weakness. On the geopolitical front, tensions in the Middle East seem to be easing slightly, which is providing a bit of a calm before the storm, but energy prices are still something to keep an eye on. The market's reaction to the inflation data has been somewhat muted. While a cooling core inflation is good news for the Federal Reserve's rate hike trajectory, the sticky headline number suggests we might not see aggressive rate cuts anytime soon. This 'higher for longer' interest rate environment continues to put pressure on growth stocks, though the earnings resilience from big tech is providing some underlying support to the S&P 500. The easing geopolitical tensions are a net positive, reducing the tail risk that could quickly disrupt market sentiment and supply chains. Given this landscape, for SPY traders, I'm recommending a cautiously optimistic approach for the early part of this week. The S&P 500 has been showing resilience around its 50day moving average. If we see continued strength and a breach above key resistance levels, perhaps around 5400 on the S&P 500 index, then looking at bullish calls on SPY could be a valid strategy. However, be mindful of the upcoming Fed minutes release later in the week. If the minutes signal a more hawkish stance than anticipated, we could see a quick reversal. So, consider buying shortdated puts as a hedge or for a quick profit if the market reacts negatively. My reasoning is that while inflation is moderating, the Fed's stance is still the primary driver. Play the breakouts and breakdowns, but keep your stop losses tight, especially with earnings season continuing to unfold. Focus on sectors showing real earnings strength, like certain parts of technology and healthcare, and be wary of highly cyclical consumer discretionary stocks until we see more definitive signs of consumer spending picking up. That's all for now, traders. Stay safe out there, and I'll catch you on the next episode of Spy Trader!
