With a major earnings season kicking off for the mega-cap tech names, an obscure volatility measure is pointing to a potential breakout — but the bar is sky-high and geopolitical headwinds are creating an unusually uncertain backdrop.

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/4yvcd4b David Bahnsen reviews a modest down day for markets as Iran tensions and reported American casualties push oil above $80 (ending above $83), with the Dow down ~300, S&P -19 bps, Nasdaq -5 bps, and the 10-year yield at 4.59%; communication services and energy led while healthcare lagged. He cites IPO froth cooling, noting SpaceX below $120 versus a $135 IPO and far off highs. In politics, he highlights Maine's Senate race likely featuring progressive Troy Jackson versus Susan Collins and notes Michigan Democrats consolidating behind Haley Stevens, outlining the difficult map for a Democratic Senate majority. Economically, he underscores the Supreme Court reversal of IEEPA tariffs lowering blended import tariffs from ~11% to ~6–6.5%, while flagging a record 105.8M outside the labor force, soft industrial production, rising import prices, and housing starts driven by multifamily. He previews next week's Fed meeting under Chair Kevin Warsh, balance-sheet maturity shortening, midstream earnings (Kinder Morgan), and answers why shorting stocks is inherently leveraged and generally unsuitable for most investors. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:17 Iran Tensions and Oil 01:24 Market Wrap and Sectors 02:17 IPO Froth Check 03:13 Senate Races Outlook 05:39 Economy Data and Tariffs 07:43 Housing and Fed Preview 09:08 Energy Earnings and Gas 10:01 Ask TBG Short Selling 12:00 Wrap Up and Links Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

Brian Szytel hosts Dividend Cafe on Thursday, July 16, describing a down market day driven by rotation out of tech and semis, with the Nasdaq down 1.5% versus modest declines in the Dow and S&P, and equal-weighted S&P outperforming cap-weighted by over 160 bps. He highlights ongoing housing weakness: existing home sales at the lowest pace since 1995, affordability pressures with mortgage payments rising from about $1,700 to $3,100 since 2020, and record home equity (~$11T) contributing to illiquidity as most homeowners have rates below current levels. He addresses financials' July strength, noting they signal economic health but appear fairly to slightly richly valued around 2x price-to-book. Economic data was mostly positive (retail sales +0.2%, Philly Fed 41 vs 13, claims 208 vs 218) while housing data disappointed (builder sentiment down, pending sales -5.6%). 00:00 Market Wrap and Rotation 00:47 Housing Market Stuck 01:23 Affordability and Equity 03:08 Financials Sector Question 04:36 Economic Data Rundown 05:12 Housing Data Misses 05:37 Closing Thoughts Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

Oil prices are surging, the Fed is flagging war-driven inflation risks, and consumers are already feeling pain at the pump — raising fears that a second inflation wave could undo the progress made over the past two years.

Brian Szytel recaps a mixed but positive market day with the Dow up about 45 points, the S&P 500 up 0.4%, and the Nasdaq up just under 1%, helped by a broad financial-sector rally despite somewhat mixed large-bank earnings. Oil rose with increased Middle East tensions and volatility around the Strait of Hormuz. The main story was a better-than-expected CPI report: headline CPI fell 0.4% versus expectations for -0.1%, and core CPI was essentially flat (-0.02%) versus a forecast of +0.2%, bringing year-over-year core to 2.6% and pushing the 10-year yield down about 3 bps to 4.58%, with Fed futures repricing to lower odds of hikes. He notes one print isn't a trend, highlights a stronger NFIB Small Business Optimism Index, and explains why deflation is worse than modest inflation, citing Japan's long period of minimal growth. 00:00 Market Wrap and Earnings 00:45 Oil Jitters Middle East 01:01 CPI Surprise and Rates 02:39 Fed Talk and Futures 04:12 Small Business Optimism 04:26 Inflation Versus Deflation 05:35 Japanification Case Study 06:34 Wrap Up and Sign Off Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com
