Rates & the Fed
Nick Timiraos reports that Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has scheduled a press conference for next week's FOMC meeting, keeping markets on high alert.
Jim Bianco warns that if the Fed fights rate hikes, a slow panic among bond investors could heat up, pushing yields past the current 5.15% level.
Macro Data & Inflation
Liz Ann Sonders highlights that the Atlanta Fed's July survey showed year-ahead business inflation expectations easing to +2.2% from +2.3% in June.
Nick Timiraos notes that forecasters expect June core PCE to print at a mild +0.18% (+3.3% y/y), which would be the lowest monthly reading since November.
Sectors & Commodities
Charlie Bilello tracks massive commodity price increases since the start of the Iran war, led by Sulfur (+142%), European Natural Gas (+97%), and WTI Crude (+30%).
Andy Constan notes that Alphabet's zero share buyback was unsurprising given its recent $80 billion debt issuance.
