“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”
📺️ Programming Note
Due to fewer trading opportunities and reduced liquidity on Fridays during the summer doldrums we’ll be publishing a condensed version of our regular newsletter. Economic and earnings events for the day, along with some brief commentary will be included, however we will not cover overnight and pre-market action. Enjoy your weekend!

💬 Commentary
Inflation fell in June, slightly more than expected, boosting the odds of a September rate cut to 93%. Volatility and volume expanded for the second straight day with a rotation out of large-cap tech and into small caps and interest rate-sensitive industries like home builders and solar. SPY closed down nearly 0.9%. The Q’s fell more than 2% as tech suffered, and Tesla plunged 8% on their robo-taxi delays. IWM was the major beneficiary of heightened rate cut expectations, surging 3.6% to close near its 52-week high on the strongest volume seen since February.
Today’s major catalysts include the pre-market Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) report, providing insight into inflation at the producer level, consumer sentiment and inflation reports, and the beginning of earnings season with some big banks reporting this morning.
