DoubleLine Portfolio Manager Samuel Lau and Quantitative Analyst Eric Dhall tour market and macro news for the July 10-14 week, then look into the week ahead. The discussion begins with markets, including U.S equities (2:02), fixed income (4:08), commodities (6:15), the U.S. dollar (6:59), gold (7:31) and Bitcoin (7:47). The macro news (8:13) was dominated, as Eric Dhall notes, by a “trifecta of beats” on the inflation front, with the CPI and PPI showing lower-than-expected inflation in June and import prices showing outright deflation. The podcast hosts, however, tempered that news with the observation that if housing prices remain resilient, core consumer inflation (ex-food and energy) could find a floor at 3% year-over-year. Looking ahead to the July 17-21 week (23:09), Sam and Eric have on their radar retail sales and industrial production (due Tuesday), initial and continuing jobless claims (Thursday) and the recession-flashing Leading Economic Index (Thursday).
