Markets Have a Sick Sense of Humor Sometimes
I am surprised to see how many market players and pundits are so quick to assume that just because the powers that be want lower oil and gas prices for the midterms that it will materialize so easily. "They" talk about lower gas prices, but are we sure a federal gas tax holiday will suppress demand or actually stoke it by pulling it forward,...

I Simply Respect the Chemistry
Amid a plethora of reasons for the market to completely roll back over today, be it the dump in futures overnight, Powell talking about a fast rate hike pace going forward, fears of imminent recession, the proposed gas tax holiday backfiring, we have stocks now flashing green as I write this. True, there is a long way to go today and even this...

Context for the Rest of the Week
ARKK, what with its abundance of growth stocks (namely bios) housed in Cathie Wood's flagship ETF, likely serves as the premier market tell for the rest of this week. With Fed Chair Powell's speech tomorrow and Thursday, bears will try to undo today's rally while bulls will bet on a continuation of the squeeze. The reason why ARKK is a good...

Attack and Retreat, Attack and Retreat
It appears we are still in the middle phase of the bear market, where many think the worst is over (this cycle, inflation and the dump in growth stocks) and it is easy to talk oneself into a major bear market bottom with the spike down and reversal in crypto over the long weekend. You may recall, however, that we saw similar "the worst is over"...

Reminder: Markets Will Be Closed on Monday
Markets will be closed this coming Monday for the full session as we observe a recent addition to the rare, select group of stock market holidays: Juneteenth (it falls on a Sunday this year, technically, so markets will observe it on Monday). Now, from a market context it is important to note two things about the holiday. First, weekly options...

This is the Business We've Chosen
It seems foolish to spend days awaiting the decisions and nuanced, confused rhetoric of a bunch of academic bureaucrats who are trying to solve the very serious problems they had a major hand in creating in the first place. But this is the business we've chosen. Unless and until we arrive at a moment when markets across several asset classes...

Dead Ahead of The Fed
I am not expecting too much from equities today as we await the FOMC tomorrow afternoon at 2pm EST. Yesterday late in the session the Wall Street Journal's Fed reporter (practically a tradition on Wall Street for The Fed to have a "leaker" at the WSJ) floated the idea that The Fed will raise by 75 basis points tomorrow due to sticky high...
