US equities were mostly lower this week after the S&P and Nasdaq both hit fresh record closes last week. It was a relatively quiet week with the market looking to next week's June CPI report and the kick-off of Q2 earnings. Big Tech and AI developments occupied significant headline space with NVDA becoming the first company with a $4T market cap.

In this episode of Volatility Views, Mark Longo, Russell Rhoads (Kelley School of Business - Indiana University), and Andrew Giovinazzi (The Option Pit) return after the July 4th holiday to delve into recent market volatility.

US equities finished higher in Thursday trading, ending a bit off best levels. S&P 500 and Nasdaq set fresh record closing highs. It was another quiet session with the market seemingly in waiting mode for June CPI next Tuesday and the start of Q2 earnings season (big banks begin reporting on 15-Jul). The market still seems to be more focused on potential trade policy off-ramps, particularly following this week's reciprocal tariff deadline extension.

US equities were higher in Wednesday trading as stocks ended just off their best levels, with the Dow Jones, S&P500, and Nasdaq closing up 49bps, 61bps, and 94bps respectively. No notable directional drivers in play. MBA mortgage purchase applications jumped to their highest level since early 2023. Nvidia became the first company with a $4T market cap. Retailers took in $7.9B in the first 24 hours of Amazon Prime Day, up 10% y/y, according to Adobe Analytics.

US equities finished mixed in choppy but largely uneventful Tuesday trading. Still all about trade with some reprieve surrounding extension of reciprocal tariff deadline to 1-Aug and White House signaling on more deal announcements in the works. NFIB small business optimism index declined slightly in June

The economy is showing increasing signs of weakening, and eventually stock prices are going to have to reflect that predicts portfolio manager Michael Lebowitz -- who guest stars in this week's Market Recap while Lance Roberts is traveling in the UK.Earnings estimates for the rest of this year and next are very optimistic, perhaps unrealistically so.Should the economy continue to weaken, the chances of attaining those earnings results will drop so low that Wall Street will have to start demanding that stocks trade at a discount to current prices.Michael and I discuss the logic why, as well dig into the newest -- and controversial -- non-farms payroll data, inflation expectations & bond yields, the investment potential of the artificial intelligence & energy sectors, and the future of Tesla.For everything that mattered to markets this week, watch this video.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

Markets moved higher once again this week and are QUICKLY looking stretched once again. How so? TUNE IN TO FIND OUT!

US equities were higher in Thursday trading as stocks ended near best levels. The biggest focus today was on the Big, Beautiful Bill, which is set to pass a vote on final passage today and will move to Trump's desk in time for his long-preferred 4-Jul deadline. The Market is digesting mixed takeaways from June payrolls, including a headline beat and revisions higher but weaker private payrolls, and AHE cooler.

US equities finished mostly higher in Wednesday trading, ending near best levels, with the Dow Jones closing down 2bps, while the S&P500 and Nasdaq finished up 47bps and 94bps respectively, setting new fresh record closes and the major indices on track for healthy gains in the holiday-shortened week. Negative ADP print received some attention, Big Beautiful Bill moved to the House after passing in the Senate, and Trump announced a trade deal with Vietnam involving a 20% overall tariff. Overseas, gilts sold off sharply after UK prime minister Starmer declined to say that Chancellor Reeves would stay in her role until the end of parliament.

Portfolio manager Lance Roberts warns that speculation is running rampant among retail investors now. Yes, the market is now at an all-time high and the bulls are in charge.But as stocks are back to being overbought in the short term and earnings forecasts are likely going to have to be ratcheted down sometime soon, the risk of a blow-off top followed by a reversal is not low.We discuss the odds of that, plus potential market black swans and white swans, the growing student loan default crisis, weakening housing, cooling jobs markets, as well as Lance's firm's recent trades in this week's Market Recap.

Market Recap and Investment Wisdom from the Dividend Cafe In this episode of the Dividend Cafe, David Bahnsen fills in for Brian Szytel to provide a comprehensive market update. The major market indices, including the Dow, S&P, and NASDAQ, all saw significant gains, while the bond market experienced slight increases. The technology sector led the gains with a 1.6% rise, followed closely by financials, whereas the energy sector lagged behind. A notable drop in oil prices was observed, attributed to geopolitical factors involving a ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel. David concludes with a critical piece of investment advice: timing the market based on current events is futile and can lead to significant losses. 00:00 Introduction and Host Change 00:35 Market Recap: Major Indices Surge 00:55 Bond Market Movements 01:20 Sector Performance Highlights 01:42 Oil Price Plunge: Geopolitical Factors 02:16 Ceasefire Impact on Markets 02:42 Investment Wisdom: Avoid Market Timing 03:58 Conclusion and Sign-Off Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com
