The Bespoke Report — Global Macro Outlook

This week we’re outlining how we see the global economy at present, along with its influence on US interest rates, credit, commodities, and equity markets. One of the topics we discuss in detail is the strong performance of US GDP in Q2, which in addition to upward revisions from 2014-2018 also showed newly-reported Q2 growth that was far stronger than analyst estimates. Smaller-than-expected headwinds from trade and inventory and a massive surge in consumer spending helped push growth above expectations despite weak investment. With the Fed set to join the global central bank easing party at its July meeting, it’s part of the reason to expect that the global backdrop is set to improve.

The Bespoke Report – The Calm Before the Storm

This week’s Bespoke Report newsletter is now available for members.

With little in the way of major economic data and earnings season still a week away, the only major item of this past week was the deluge of Fed officials hitting the tape, including Chairman Powell’s testimony to the House and Senate on Wednesday and Thursday.

With the overall calm and Powell’s soothing words, bulls were in charge and took charge sending the major US large-cap indices to record highs.  After numerous attempts to get through the 2,950 level, the S&P 500 finally broke out and hasn’t looked back since.  With the S&P 500 up 20% on the year and earnings season coming up on the horizon where does the market stand and have we moved too far to fast?

In this week’s report, we’ll try to shed some light on that question by looking at the recent moves from a variety of angles including market internals, the setup for earnings season, how the economy is faring, and a look at sentiment and prior strong rallies.
