higher growth and upward revisions for NVIDIA and AMD

I do Joe. And ultimately it's going to come down to growth rate next year. Street's looking for 5% just on this upgrade pool. ... I think Apple is going to be one of the top two performing mag sevens over the next year.

John Woods mentioned sharp increases in lithium due to supply constraints, leading to potential sharp ups in the metals market short term.

Gold prices spiked sharply higher in the New York ComX this morning. CPM Group has been projecting for its clients that the price would touch 3,500 in August or September and would probably get up to 3,600 in September or October with higher prices later in the year and into 2026.

No, I'm keeping the money in the market. You know, we have we're juggling balls just fine. And I think you can get yourself all distracted by, you know, just the sheer velocity of change that's happening here. But if you look at the details and look at those different balls and look at the skills of the jugglers involved here, how can you not be invested?

So I think that's normal. I expect it to we've said that third quarter. We think this is the best chance we could have for some correction or moderation, if you will. But I want to be very clear, it's still early in the new bull market.

The expectation for the S&P (which includes the Nasdaq 100) is around 5% up by the end of the year and almost 10% over 12 months, reflecting earnings growth of around 7% this year and next year.

I think that the next leg of this bull market's going to come from a broadening out beyond just the AI story.

yields

Well, interest rates are going lower. That's all we need to know. So if you're overweight in cash, you're getting a pay cut.

I would suspect that the gold price gain may very well mirror the decline in the purchasing power of the US dollar. If the US dollar loses 75% of its purchasing power, one would expect gold to mirror that on the upside.

metals

we continue to expect higher gold prices over the course of this year into next year because we don't see those political and economic factors changing Strong investment demand driven by economic and political uncertainty is keeping gold and silver prices elevated, and open interest data shows market participants expect high and volatile prices to continue through the medium term.

‘by the third end of the third into the fourth quarter a lot of the inflation statistics will go over 3%.’; ‘We’re going to see long-term interest rates move up and that could really bother the stock market.’; ‘If you want to borrow to keep a 24 25% of GDP at the budget and 7% deficits to GDP interest rates are going to skyrocket.’; ‘4 and a half percent is normal; zero interest rates 2010-2019 was an aberration.’

I think we're going to rally pretty strongly in August. So, I think yeah, I think we can get back to 65 or get to 65 6600 all-time highs this in the next couple weeks and then uh 7,000 in the next 12 months. Above that. Yeah, probably well above that next. Well above that. Yeah.

‘this rate cut that’s likely, I think in September could be larger than 25 basis points… that may be put a little bit more downward pressure on Treasury yields, maybe some 4% because that’s not really priced in at this moment 50 basis points’

"I think it makes it even more likely that they're going to cut in September. We have had a series of 25 basis point cuts in September, October, December."

Reinstated his S&P year end target of 7100. We have a Fed that will cut rates, and markets like earnings and revenue growth.

yields

We are seeing a huge drop in short-term yields, especially the two-year Treasury yield dropping 27 basis points, the biggest plunge since early 2023; bond investors are rallying at the front end in response to weakening labor market data and increasing odds of a Fed rate cut in September. The jobs data revised downward significantly indicates a weakening labor market, pushing investors to expect a rate cut imminently, leading to a sharp drop in short-term yields as reflected in the front-end Treasury market.
