The Money Wise guys are back in the studio after a break and as always, they start with an an overview of Wall Street's performance. The Dow Jones Industrial Average saw an increase of 645 points, or 1.6%, while the S&P 500 was up by 48 points, or 0.9%. The NASDAQ also experienced a rise, gaining 46 points, or 0.2%. Year-to-date, the Dow Jones is up 6.1%, the S&P 500 has increased by 17.7%, and the NASDAQ has surged by 22.6%. During the week, significant market activity was observed, including intraday all-time highs for both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the NASDAQ, although neither closed at those highs. The discussion pointed out the ongoing dominance of big-cap tech companies in driving market performance, with the NASDAQ up 22.6% by mid-July. The conversation also touched on Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's recent testimony and a lighter Consumer Price Index report, which initially boosted market sentiment. Interestingly, there was notable profit-taking in large-cap tech stocks, with the sale volume indicating computer program trading. This profit-taking benefitted smaller asset classes, like small caps and mid caps, leading to a significant day for diversified portfolios. One standout statistic was the performance differential on Thursday between the Russell 2000 (small cap index) and the NASDAQ, marking the largest such difference since 1986. However, there was no follow-through on Friday, with investments shifting back into large-cap leaders. The market cap-weighted S&P 500 outperformed its equally weighted counterpart, with the former up nearly 18% for the year compared to the latter's 7%. The Russell 2000, though improved, still lagged significantly behind, highlighting the ongoing performance gap.

Corporate earnings and U.S. economic data brought positive news, offset by moderately hawkish comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Powell. Strong performances in Health Care, Information Technology, Energy, Consumer Discretionary, and Communication sectors led to a rise in S&P 500 composite earnings. Meta Platforms Inc, Apple Inc, Microsoft Corp, and Amazon.com Inc were among the standout companies with positive earnings. The Federal Reserve maintained unchanged interest rates, signaling progress in inflation reduction but delaying rate cuts until at least May. Despite initial market fluctuations, the week ended with record-setting highs for the S&P 500. Additionally, North Star expresses optimism for consistently lower interest rates and improved stock prices in small caps in 2024.

Today we were thrilled to welcome back Gabe Collins, Fellow in Energy & Environmental Regulatory Affairs, along with his colleague Steven Miles, Fellow in Global Natural Gas, with Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy. Gabe last joined us on COBT in May of 2022 (episode linked here) and has a fascinating background in the economics, policies, and geopolitics of Russia and China, as well as national security-related research and analysis. In addition to his position at the Baker Institute, Steven is a Senior Counsel at Baker Botts and previously was a twenty-year Partner with the firm, serving as the Energy Sector Chair focused on LNG, natural gas, electric power, and renewable energy industries. It was our pleasure to visit with Gabe and Steven for a global energy conversation focused on LNG and Europe. The focus was on one key question: “why isn't Europe locking in more long-term gas supply?”   The catalyst to our discussion stems from a report co-authored by Gabe and Steven that will be published in the near future. Titled “Eastern Promises or Energy Fantasies: Why Is Europe Not Replacing Russian Pipeline Gas With Long-Term LNG Contracts?”, the report leverages analysis from 600+ LNG contracts over 25 years leading up to the Ukraine invasion. In our discussion with Gabe and Steven, we cover key themes including the inspiration behind writing the paper, the potential role and intentions of China, Europe's response to its gas shortage and its reliance on spot LNG, potential geopolitical risks, and the potential explanations for Europe's reluctance to sign long-term gas contracts. We also discuss the concept of funding post-war Ukraine through gas surcharges, Mexico's growing LNG capacity, how Europe's decision not to contract LNG longer-term could be hurting the developing world and the climate, and the discrepancy between European policymakers' optimistic view of hydrogen and renewable energy with the unease among industrial players who see the ongoing demand for gas and the challenges in transitioning away from it. Gabe and Steven also recently wrote an article in Foreign Policy that touches on many of these aspects, linked here.   Mike Bradley kicked us off by highlighting upcoming events and topics of interest. Economically, all attention is on Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's Jackson Hole speech this Friday for color/clarity on how much higher/how much longer interest rates could stay elevated. In commodities, crude oil remains steady around $80/bbl., with traders seemingly divided on which dynamic will win this year, that being supply (OPEC cuts) or demand (China weakness). He also noted that LNG markets will be closely following this week's current Australian LNG labor negotiations to handicap the potential for an LNG strike in the coming weeks, which could impact up to 10% of global LNG. From a broader equity market standpoint, equity traders will be intensely focused on NVIDIAs earnings and rounded out the conversation by flagging recent midstream deals with one of the key themes being “controlling the molecules” from wellhead to end user/markets. He also highlighted a Permian E&P merger this week between two mid-cap E&Ps, which is leading investors to contemplate whether an acceleration of public-to-public deals could be forthcoming, and whether they'll be done at premiums. Arjun Murti highlighted the spillover effects of how policies from the EU will have ramifications for the rest of the world, comparing key themes from Gabe and Steven's report to recent Super-Spiked themes. Todd Scruggs chimed in to share LNG trends including the short-term extremely tight supply-demand balance in Europe and longer-term potential for the US to become

At the ECB forum in Sintra, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, ECB President Lagarde and Bank of England Governor Bailey all said that they still have some way to go in raising interest rates to fight inflation. The 23 largest US banks passed the Federal Reserve's annual stress test. And both the Japanese yen and the Chinese yuan are in focus as authorities worry about the weakness of their currencies.

Hosts: Ansel Lindner and Christian Keroles Watch this Episode: YouTube  ||  Rumble  Fed Watch is a macro podcast with a clear contrarian thesis of a deflationary breakdown of the financial system leading to bitcoin adoption. We question narratives and schools of thought, and try to form new understanding. Each episode we use current events to question mainstream and bitcoin narratives across the globe, with an emphasis on central banks and currencies.  Find all charts and links at bitcoinandmarkets.com/fed149 In this episode, Nolan and I discuss all the big news items of the week having to do with central banks and bitcoin. We start by talking about Bitcoin ETFs and the tidal wave of filings, we bring Producer Chris in to give his perspective as well, what it means for bitcoin. Next, we watch a couple Jerome Powell clips from his testimony in front of Congress, specifically his comments on "crypto" and CBDCs. At the end of the show, we discuss the collapse of the Chinese yuan (CNY) and what it can tell us about the state of, not only the Chinese economy, but also the global economy. In our Bitcoin ETF discussion, we hit on the curious timing of the Blackrock filing in relation to the SEC action against Coinbase and Binance, we speculate on the timing of any approval, its likelihood, and the whole Blackrock versus Grayscale debate. The CBDC discussion is an interesting one. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell was testifying in front of Congress and said very bluntly, they are not pursuing a retail CBDC. He did say, if they were to pursue a CBDC, which they are not at this time, it would be a wholesale type CBDC. The IMF managing director Kristalina Georgievahe came out the same day saying, the IMF is still, "working hard on the concept of a global CBDC platform," conflicting with earlier statements only a couple months ago said, "we think that wholesale CBDCs can be put in place with fairly little space for undesirable surprises, whereas retail CBDCs completely transform the financial system in a way that we don't quite know what consequences it could bring." Next, on the CBDC front, we cover the arrest of Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Godwin Emefiele, the designer behind the country's war on cash and disastrous CBDC rollout. We end the episode by looking into the Chinese yuan and discuss what we can learn about the current state of the global economy and what a failing China means going forward. Thanks for joining us!

In the aftermath of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, and the role played by the Fed hiking interest rates to cool the economy, we explore the nature of — in words used by Senator Elizabeth Warren in sparring with Federal Reserve Chairman Powell — the “other things” keeping inflation at a multi-decade high.

Hosts: Ansel Lindner and Christian Keroles Fed Watch is a macro podcast with a clear contrarian thesis of a deflationary breakdown of the financial system leading to bitcoin adoption. We question narratives and schools of thought, and try to form new understanding. Each episode we use current events to question mainstream and bitcoin narratives across the globe, with an emphasis on central banks and currencies.  Find all associated charts and links at bitcoinandmarkets.com/fed137 In this episode, CK is back for a HUGE week in central bank and bitcoin news. We cover this week's FOMC policy decision and press conference with Federal Reserve Chairman Powell. We discuss all the central banks raising rates in the face of a banking crisis and bank runs. Next, we discuss the crackdown by US officials on the bitcoin space, with Wells notices being sent out widely to many companies, and the Economic Report of the President devoting two entire chapters to understanding and spreading FUD about bitcoin. A lot is happening right now and we try to cover it all. CK and I have been positive regarding Chair Powell in the past, but it seems as if central bankers have lost their minds tightening while liquidity is evaporating rapidly. We agree that the recent attacks on scams in the space, are not meant as an attack on Bitcoin, and in the end everything is good for Bitcoin. Lastly, we look at several charts of bitcoin, the stock market, US Treasury yields, and the dollar. We like to do this to ground our conclusions in the market truth. We are emotional animals and can be pulled this way or that very easily. It is the charts, the market price, that is the source of truth much more so than our emotions or individual rational interpretations. What do the charts show us? Things are not as dire as the headlines would imply. Of course, it takes time for economic conditions as a whole to be translated across the market, but we do not see the patterns in the charts that lead up to the type of crises many are predicting. In fact, Bitcoin is rallying and stocks still have higher highs and higher lows. Treasury yields point to a liquidity crisis similar to 2019, and the dollar is not telegraphing acute global stress.

Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's Remarks create the largest yield inversion in 40 years. What does it mean?

Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's Remarks create the largest yield inversion in 40 years. What does it mean?

This morning Federal Reserve Chairman Powell testified in front of the Senate Banking Committee to discuss the fed's current and future monetary policy to combat inflation. There were numerous take aways from Mr. Powell's testimony. Wall Street's interpretation is more rate increases for longer. We'll share with you details of the chairman's speech and its impact on your money, tonight on the Jon Sanchez Show at 5pm.

The Producers Price index (PPI) is a measure of inflation for manufacturers. It is coming out this week and is expected to be high. How high (or low) it reads, could move the markets. The PPI is the best way to explain how much it costs manufacturers to make things. This could possibly mean that inflation is not increasing as rapidly as previously thought, which could be seen as a positive by investors. However, it is still unclear how Federal Reserve Chairman Powell will interpret this data.The gang digs into real estate and the recent headlines surrounding some nontraded REIT's decision to limit withdrawals.

Fed Watch is the macro podcast for bitcoiners. Each episode we discuss current events in macro from across the globe, with an emphasis on central banks and currencies. In this episode, CK and I listen and react to highlights from this month's two central bank press conferences, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell and ECB President Lagarde. Central banks are one of the most misunderstood institutions in our modern world. Many analysts simply tell you what the Fed or the ECB thinks and what they do to disrupt the global economy, but on our show, we like to give you primary source material from which you can start to form your own educated opinion. We live stream most of our shows on the Bitcoin Magazine YouTube channel on Tuesdays at 3pm eastern. Mark your calendars! Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's highlights and reaction Chairman Powell's comments were highlighted by a few narratives. These are simply what they say they are doing, not our analysis.  Their primary concern is inflation fighting They will be adaptive to new data A tight employment market threatens to exacerbate inflation They cannot affect the supply side, so they will tamp down demand to bring down prices The main metric guiding the Federal Reserve's course of rate hikes is CPI and “inflation” expectations. There are several ways to measure this, the Fed uses consumer surveys. This is a critical distinction between surveys and market-derived expectations, because surveys will not distinguish sources of price increases where the market-derived measures will do that. Below is the Fed's survey of inflation expectations. You can see, the median prediction is above 8%. However, the market-derived data, namely the 5 and 10-year Breakevens and the 5y-5y Forward, are showing inflation expectations around 2.5%. What accounts for this huge difference? It is because the market-derived data is measuring actual money printing, or in other words, actual inflation. The survey data on the other hand is measuring generic price increases which are much more highly affected by supply shocks; in this case, self-imposed supply shocks. ECB President Lagarde highlights and reaction We also listen to a few clips of President Lagarde's press conference. Here we get a flavor for the ECB's formative narratives. Inflation is the fault of Covid and Putin Their governing council has expertly formulated a journey to normality They will begin to raise rates and tighten their balance sheet in July They are dedicated to “anti-fragmentation”, or in other words, avoiding a European Debt Crisis 2.0 and keeping the Eurozone together They have all powerful tools The ECB faces a different challenge than the Federal Reserve. The ECB must raise rates with some more indebted countries, already with anti-Euro parties growing, facing uneven effects, as we can see with credit spreads in Italy for example.

Christian highlighted not only raising interest rates, but the other tools in the pocket of central bankers as they continue to fight against persistently high, supply chain driven inflation.

Markets were pulled from pillar to post as the forces of Covid and inflation gave battle to investor enthusiasm for buying the dips. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell tempted fate early in the week by announcing an acceleration in the Fed's plan to wind down its $120 billion-a-month asset purchases, when investors were expecting his tone to have softened in the face of the Omicron variant. In the space of a few weeks the Fed has gone from dismissing inflation as being "transitory" to inflation being its main concern. Powell even refused to admit that an Omicron-induced lockdown would reduce inflationary pressures, saying that it merely "increased uncertainty for inflation". As a result, investors now face a hitherto unanticipated scenario where new lockdowns depress growth but, unlike over the past fifteen years, monetary policy actually becomes more rigid.Stocks featured:AstraZeneca, Didi Global, Hermes International, Moderna, Pfizer and Universal Music GroupTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management's own commentary on markets.

Larry Kudlow - Federal Reserve chairman Powell hints at a rate hike. by John Catsimatidis

Jim Barnes, Senior Vice President and Director of Fixed Income at BMT Wealth Management, discusses the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) held on June 15/16.  At this meeting, the FOMC revised its projections for the federal reserve target range from no rate hikes through 2023 to 50 basis points (0.50%).  The U.S. Treasury curve shifted higher immediately following the 2:00 statement to reflect the more hawkish tone.  Discussions regarding bond tapering formerly began but no changes were made.  Instead, during the post-meeting conference, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell simply said discussions will continue at upcoming meetings.

Karen reports that inventory in Colorado is extremely tight.  In the past week, homes under contract outpaced new home listings.  Public policy has added to the shortage of homes on the market.  An experienced professional realtor is absolutely needed whether you are buying or selling.  Give Karen a call at 303-877-7516. There is nothing better to eat this Saturday than meat.  On Polis' proclaimed Meat Out Day join others across the state for their Meat In Day. When Michelle Vance with the Larimer Republican Party heard of this ridiculous proclamation, decided to do what Dems do—raise money on voter outrage.  And she did just that as her event is sold out.  People are tired of their freedoms being taken away.  In downtown Craig, Loy Jones has organized a BBQ for her community.  Her event will be taking donations for the agricultural community.  Meat is an important staple of the American diet.  At the beginning of the China-Wuhan virus reaction/disruption, empty meat counters validated how important meat is to Americans. Jason McBride, Senior Vice President with Presidential Wealth Management, will be joining thousands as he will be grilling meat on Saturday.  Federal Reserve Chairman Powell states yesterday that rates will not change in the near future, which brought a sigh of relief from many.  The DOW continues to hit new highs while the NASDAQ is working to regain its past high.  Give Jason a call at 303-694-1600 to review options for a successful plan regarding your financial requirements. Guest Kevin Lundberg, former state Senator and founder of the Lundberg Letter (kevinlundberg.com), joins Kim to discuss HR1.  Kim calls it the Diluting and Nullifying Your Vote Act while Kevin chimes in with the Voter Fraud Act.  Some of the lowlights of the bill, all at the Federal level, are:  set up commissions for redistricting (already in Colorado at the state), institutionalize mail-in ballots (and all the fraud that goes along with it as seen in many states like Pennsylvania), enfranchising felons to vote, requirement for photo id to vote eliminated, changing campaign finance law as Congressional races will be publicly funded, and ballots can be accepted up to 10 days after election.  This is dismantling the US Constitution and going against the Founding Fathers to secure permanent POWER for Democrats!

Wednesday, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell announced the outcome of two days of meetings of the Federal Reserve. The Fed is a board of the heads of each of the regional Federal reserve banks and their board of Governors. The focus is often on the Chair of the Federal Reserve. But the board is really made up of a committee who vote on the policy.  Interest-rate projections released Wednesday showed eight of 17 officials—the reserve bank presidents and board governors who participate in the Fed meetings—expect they will cut the benchmark rate by year’s end from its current level in a range between 2.25% and 2.5%. Seven of those officials see lowering the rate by a half percentage point by the close of 2019, and one expects just a quarter-percentage-point reduction. Eight officials projected the Fed would hold rates steady, and one projected a rate increase. The Fed this week announced that they were holding interest rates steady at this meeting, but signalled strongly that we can expect a rate cut at the July meeting, about 6 weeks from now. The guidance is for a half point reduction between now and the end of the year, based on economic indicators. The fed is seeing a slowdown in economic activity, party due to global economic slowdown, and some linked to the current trade discussions between the US and China.  The central bank’s rate-setting committee on Wednesday dropped language from its policy statement describing its stance as “patient”—which implied rates were on hold. Instead, it said uncertainties about the economic outlook have increased, a phrase it has used during past periods of rate cuts. “The committee will closely monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook and will act as appropriate to sustain the expansion,” the statement said. That’s code for they plan to reduce rates on signs of economic weakness.  So this is a strange situation where no change in interest rates is actually news worthy. In response to the announcement, the stock market seems to have responded positively. But the real news is that low interest rates mean that the government’s out of control spending is going to continue to enjoy low interest rates making their over-spending less unaffordable. I’m deliberately using a double negative here because the spending isn’t affordable at all, it’s less unaffordable with lower interest rates.  For us as real estate investors, short term loans are typically linked to short term rates like LIBOR, and permanent financing is typically linked to the yield on the 10 year treasury. That’s why Wednesday’s news is actually news for real estate investors. Yields on the 10 year treasury fell to the lowest level since November 2016. The rate now stands at 1.98%. That means that the rate for most HUD and agency loans will be solidly below 4% for the first time in a couple of years. Now is the time to position your portfolios to take advantage of the lower interest rates. If you start the process in June, by the time you exit the underwriting process in July, you will likely see an even lower rate locking into your permanent financing.  These financings take considerable time. The lender has to underwrite the deal, the market conditions, and the borrower. The commercial appraisal won’t be ordered immediately. That’s typically one of the last steps in the underwriting process and typically takes several weeks to complete.  So if you want to take advantage of lower interest rates that are here now, and in our near future, now is the time to start the process to rate lock for the long term.  

Federal Reserve Chairman Powell announced last Wednesday a 0.25% increase in interest rates. What does this mean for you as a real estate investor?
