S&P 500 weakens and gold rallies

Key Points

  • The S&P 500 closed above 6300 for the first time, supported by strong liquidity
  • But declining Trend Index peaks warn of a retracement
  • Consumer Confidence remains weak, and the Conference Board Leading Economic Index signals a recession
  • Gold and silver rallied as the dollar weakened

The S&P 500 closed above 6300 for the first time, but declining Trend Index peaks warn of selling pressure. Expect retracement to test support at 6100.

S&P 500

The Dow Jones Industrial Average also signals weakness, with declining Trend Index peaks indicating selling pressure.

The Broad DJ US Index (red) has underperformed the DJ World ex-US index (blue) over the past six months.

DJ US Index ($DJUS) & DJ World ex-US ($W2DOW)

Financial Markets

Financial markets grow increasingly supportive, with the Chicago Fed National Financial Conditions Index (NFCI) declining to -0.54. Values above zero are considered restrictive.

Treasury Markets

10-Year Treasury yields declined to 4.35%, but rising Trend Index troughs signal continued buying pressure.

10-Year Treasury Yield

Economy

Consumer confidence remains low, with the Conference Board index declining by 5 points to 93, similar to levels during the 2020 pandemic.

June’s retreat in confidence was shared by all age groups and almost all income groups. It was also shared across all political affiliations, with the largest decline among Republicans.

Conference Board: Consumer Confidence

The Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index (LEI) declined to 99.8% in June. Six-month growth in the LEI (blue) fell to an annualized -5.6%, below the -4.1% that signals a recession (marked in red).

Conference Board Leading Economic Index - Recession Signals

The black line on the above chart indicates negative growth in more than 50% of the LEI components below over the past six months. A broad decline confirms the recession signal.

Conference Board Leading Economic Index - Components

Dollar & Gold

The Dollar Index retreated below support at 98, signaling another decline. A breach of support of 96.50 would strengthen our long-term target of 90.

Dollar Index

Gold rallied to test resistance at $3,400 per ounce. A breakout above $3,400 would offer an immediate target of $3,500 and strengthen our year-end target of $4,000.

Spot Gold

Silver is testing resistance at $39 per ounce. A breakout would offer a target of $42, but declining Trend Index peaks warn of stubborn resistance.

Spot Silver

Conclusion

The S&P 500 closed at a new high, but declining Trend Index peaks warn of selling pressure.

The Dow Industrial Average respected resistance at 45,000, failing to confirm the S&P 500 bull market signal.

Financial market conditions indicate strong liquidity, but consumer confidence is weak, and the Conference Board Leading Economic Index signals a recession.

The US Dollar Index retreated below support at 98, triggering a rally in gold and silver. A gold breakout above $3,400 would offer an immediate target of $3,500 and strengthen our year-end target of $4,000. A silver breakout above $39 would offer a target of $42, but declining Trend Index peaks warn of stubborn resistance.

Long bonds fall as CPI rises, stocks and gold remain bullish

Summary

  • Global long bond yields are rising, driven by fears over government debt levels
  • A sharp jump in services CPI warns of rising inflation in the broad economy
  • Strong liquidity boosts demand for stocks and for gold

Global long bond yields are rising, driven by fears over government debt levels.

Japan’s 30-year JGB yield jumped to a record 3.20% on Tuesday as opposition parties favoring tax cuts and loose monetary policy are expected to gain influence after the July 20 election. (Reuters)

German 30-year government bond yield is testing resistance at 3.26%, the highest since 2011. Investor concerns are focused on increased debt issuance—to fund defense and infrastructure spending—and rising international rates. (Reuters)

The 30-year US Treasury yield is testing resistance at 5.0%, the highest since 2007. The monthly charts below provide a long-term perspective.

30-Year Treasury Yield

10-year Treasury yields are expected to follow, testing resistance at 5.0%.

10-Year Treasury Yield

Rising yields are driven more by long-term structural issues than immediate concerns over an uptick in inflation.

CPI Inflation

CPI growth jumped to 2.7% for the twelve months to June, while core CPI, excluding food and energy, increased by 2.9%.

CPI & Core CPI - Annual

Sticky price CPI and the 16% trimmed mean, reflecting underlying inflationary pressures, jumped to 2.5% and 3.2% respectively.

Sticky CPI

More surprising was the sharp rise in CPI for services, excluding shelter, which is less affected by tariff increases than goods. The June figure is close to a 7.0% annual growth rate.

CPI Services excluding Shelter Rents

This confirms the earlier ISM Services PMI, which showed a sharp rise in the Prices sub-index in May and June. According to the ISM, fourteen of eighteen service industries reported increased prices paid in June. (ISM)

ISM Services Prices

Energy

Energy CPI showed negative growth for the twelve months to June, contributing significantly to the overall low headline CPI rate.

CPI & CPI Energy - Annual

Shelter

Shelter CPI comprises 35% of headline CPI. However, compared to the Case-Shiller 20-City Composite Home Price Index below, we find the index highly artificial and misleading.

CPI Shelter

Food

Food CPI growth increased in June to an annualized rate of 3.8%.

CPI Food

Stocks

The S&P 500 eased slightly in response to the CPI increase, but this is hardly noticeable on the monthly chart below.

S&P 500

The Dow Jones Industrial Average retreated from resistance at 45K. However,  rising Trend Index troughs signal long-term buying pressure, and a breakout above 45K would confirm the S&P 500 bull market signal.

Dow Jones Industrial Average

Financial Markets

Moody’s Baa Corporate bond spread declined to 1.73% after a sharp spike in March-April, indicating ready credit availability.

Moody's Baa Corporate Bond Spreads

The uptrend in Bitcoin indicates strong animal spirits, which are likely to spill over to stocks.

Bitcoin (BTC)

Dollar & Gold

The US Dollar Index is retracing to test resistance at 100 on the monthly chart below. Respect will likely confirm another decline, and our target of 90.

Dollar Index

Gold is consolidating in a bullish pennant on the monthly chart. Rising Trend Index troughs also signal buying pressure. A breakout above 3450 would strengthen our target of 4000 by year-end.

Spot Gold

Conclusion

Long bond yields are rising due to concerns over precarious public debt levels and growing fiscal deficits.

Inflation is still a secondary consideration, but a sharp rise in the CPI for services in June warns of higher inflation in the broader economy. Services are less impacted by tariffs, which are only likely to affect CPI after current pauses have expired and tariff rates are settled.

Liquidity remains strong, supporting high stock prices. A Dow Jones Industrial Average breakout above 45K would confirm the S&P 500 bull market signal.

Demand for gold is also strong, and a breakout above $3,450 per ounce would signal another advance, strengthening our target of $4,000 by year-end.

Bitcoin blast-off bullish for S&P 500

Summary

  • Bitcoin reaches a new high
  • The bullishness is expected to spill over into stocks

Bitcoin blasted through resistance at 110K, reaching a new high at 117.6K, signaling a surge of animal spirits in financial markets.

Bitcoin (BTC)

The result is bound to be bullish for US stocks. The S&P 500 recovered above 6250, while higher Trend Index troughs signal buying pressure.

S&P 500

A breakout of the Dow Jones Industrial Average above 45K would confirm the S&P 500 bull market signal.

Dow Jones Industrial Average

Financial Markets

The Chicago Fed National Financial Conditions Index decreased to -0.51 on July 4, signaling easy monetary conditions.

Chicago Fed National Financial Conditions Index

Dollar & Gold

The US Dollar Index is retracing to test resistance at 98. Respect will likely confirm the downtrend. Our target is 90.
Dollar Index

Gold continues its bullish consolidation between 3200 and 3430. An upward breakout would strengthen our target of 4000 by year-end.

Spot Gold

Silver broke out from its recent pennant consolidation at 36, offering a short-term target of 39. Rising Trend Index troughs indicate buying pressure.

Spot Silver

Conclusion

Bitcoin warns of a sharp rise in bullish sentiment.

A Dow breakout above 45K would confirm a bull market.

This reminds us of the final leg of the bull market during the Dotcom bubble, from 1999 to 2000. It was great for traders but terrible for investors.

S&P 500 breakout but no buy signal

Summary

  • The S&P 500 and Nasdaq reached new highs, but the Dow has not yet confirmed the breakout
  • Liquidity is strong, and long-term Treasury yields are softening
  • But the Conference Board Leading Economic Index warns of a recession
  • The dollar keeps falling, and demand for gold remains strong, flagging high levels of uncertainty

The S&P 500 broke resistance at 6100 to reach a new high. Expect retracement to test the new support level, but respect will likely signal a fresh advance.

S&P 500

The Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQ) has also reached a new high.

Invesco Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQ)

However, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lags and has not yet confirmed the new breakout.

Dow Jones Industrial Average

The broad Dow Jones US Index (DJUS) still lags the DJ World-x-US Index (W2DOW).

DJ US Index ($DJUS) & DJ World ex-US ($W2DOW)

Financial Markets

The Chicago Fed National Financial Conditions Index declined to -0.51 on June 20, signaling improving financial conditions.

Chicago Fed National Financial Conditions Index

10-year Treasury yields declined to 4.25%, providing further support for stocks.

10-Year Treasury Yield

Economy

The Conference Board’s leading economic index (LEI) declined to 99.0% in May. Six-month growth in the LEI (blue) fell to an annualized -5.4%, below the -4.1% that triggers a recession signal (marked in red).

Conference Board Leading Economic Index - Recession Signals

The black line on the above chart indicates negative growth in more than 50% of the LEI components over the past six months, which confirms the recession signal.

Conference Board Leading Economic Index - Components

Manufacturers’ new orders, excluding defense and aircraft, are one of the few LEI components that did not decline over the past 6 months. However, they show a steep long-term downtrend when adjusted for inflation (PPI for capital goods).

Manufacturing New Orders: Non-Defense Capital Goods Excluding Aircraft/PPI for Capital Equipment

New orders for consumer goods, adjusted by CPI, are also declining.

Manufacturing New Orders: Consumer Goods/CPI

Dollar & Gold

The dollar continues to weaken, with the US Dollar Index breaking support at 98 to confirm our target of 90.

Dollar Index

Gold is consolidating between $3,200 and $3,400 per ounce. Declining Trend Index peaks warn of secondary selling pressure, and another test of support at $3,200 is likely. Respect of support would signal another test of resistance at $3,500.

Spot Gold

Silver is consolidating in a narrow pennant at $36 per ounce. A retracement to test the new support level at $34 remains likely, but follow-through above $37 would signal another advance.

Spot Silver

Conclusion

A breakout of the Dow Jones Industrial Average above 45K would signal another advance for stocks, but the Conference Board Leading Economic Index warns of a recession. Manufacturers’ new orders for non-defense capital goods and consumer goods both display long-term weakness.

10-year Treasury yields softened to 4.25%, and financial conditions are easing, supporting stock prices. However, a declining dollar and strong gold price continue to warn of uncertainty. We don’t see this as a buy opportunity for investors; extreme stock valuation levels continue to warn of elevated risk of a significant drawdown.

Gold, the Dollar and a big hole in the desert

Summary

  • Stocks rallied on news of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel
  • But celebrations may be premature
  • The dollar weakened, which is likely to boost demand for gold

The S&P 500 rallied to test resistance at 6100. Breakout would signal a fresh advance, but declining Trend Index peaks warn of selling pressure.

S&P 500

Uncertainty remains high.

The White House was quick to claim victory after the US airstrike on Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities. But claims that the subsequent ceasefire is the start of a new era of peace in the Middle East will likely prove premature.

A ceasefire is not a peace settlement. It’s a pause in hostilities that allows both parties to rearm and re-strategize.

A precision strike is nothing more than a big hole in the desert, the effectiveness of which can only be determined by subsequent Iranian actions.

The damage assessment reported by CNN is premature, but it does raise some interesting questions.

The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm. It is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command in the aftermath of the US strikes, one of the sources said.

The analysis of the damage to the sites and the impact of the strikes on Iran’s nuclear ambitions is ongoing, and could change as more intelligence becomes available.

….Two of the people familiar with the assessment said Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium was not destroyed. One of the people said the centrifuges are largely “intact.” Another source said that the intelligence assessed enriched uranium was moved out of the sites prior to the US strikes. (CNN)

If the stockpile of enriched uranium were moved or otherwise not destroyed, how would this affect Israel’s security?

The only way to finish this is with boots on the ground. Neither Israel nor President Trump is likely to commit to that.

In the Treasury market, 10-year yields declined to 4.3%, easing the pressure on stocks.

10-Year Treasury Yield

However, the dollar continues to weaken, with the US Dollar Index testing support at 98. A breach would confirm our target of 90.

Dollar Index

The chart below shows how Brent crude and the dollar moved contra-cyclically, with the dollar weakening when crude oil prices rose, and vice versa.

However, that changed shortly before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the dollar strengthened despite a spike in energy prices, diverging from past behavior as investors sought safety. The divergence continues, with the dollar weakening while crude oil prices are falling. The dollar’s role is under threat.

Brent Crude & USD Index for Advanced Economies

Investors globally appear to be gradually reducing their exposure to dollar-denominated assets, driving the greenback down to its lowest level against a basket of major currencies in three and a half years….

According to Bank of America’s FX strategy team, European “real money” investors – institutions like pension funds and insurance companies – are the main drivers of the dollar’s selloff in the second quarter, slashing their dollar positioning to the lowest since 2022 in a matter of weeks.

But the story might not be so straightforward…. research shows that most of the dollar’s average daily declines in the last few months have come in Asian trading hours, suggesting Asian holders of U.S. bonds may also be increasing their dollar hedges. (Reuters)

Demand for gold remains strong as the dollar weakens, with the metal finding support at $3,300 per ounce. Respect of this level would signal another test of resistance at $3,400.

Spot Gold

Conclusion

Stocks have rallied, but uncertainty in the Middle East remains high.

Long-term Treasury yields have softened, but the dollar continues to weaken, reflecting uncertainty over the US role in the global monetary system.

Private investors have replaced central banks as major investors in US Treasuries. They are far more price sensitive, and both European and Asian investors are increasingly hedging their dollar positions, expecting dollar weakness.

A weakening dollar is expected to boost demand for gold.

Big Beautiful Bill threatens bond market blowout

Summary

  • The bond market reacted to the record tax and spending bill in Congress that extends tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy
  • The bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates the bill would add between $3.3 trillion and $5.2 trillion to the US federal debt, depending on whether policymakers extend temporary provisions
  • A weak bond auction lifted long-term yields
  • The dollar fell, while gold climbed above 3300

I used to think if there was reincarnation, I wanted to come back as the president or the pope or a .400 baseball hitter. But now I want to come back as the bond market. You can intimidate everybody.

~ James Carville, political consultant and lead strategist for Bill Clinton’s successful 1992 presidential campaign.

10-Year Treasury Yield
Weak bond auction

A $16 billion auction of 20-year Treasury bonds on Wednesday attracted less than usual interest, with yields rising to 5.127% after the auction.

“We’ve seen several soft 20-year bond auctions and it has a checkered history as a benchmark issue,” said Thomas Simons, chief U.S. economist at Jefferies in New York. “This one was not one of the best by any stretch of the imagination, but it also wasn’t one of the worst.”

Simons said while the auction was “far from a disaster,” it showed there was not going to be a reversal in the sell-off at the long end of the yield curve anytime soon. (Reuters)

Why is this a problem?

Liz Ann Sonders, Charles Schwab’s chief investment strategist, responded to a question on CNBC:  Is 4.58% on the 10-year a problem for the bond market?

It’s not so much the level that matters, it’s the “Why?” If this was driven by the growth trajectory, that would be great. But the fact is it’s driven by uncertainty with regard to inflation, and the Fed’s expected reaction. The wattage on the spotlight aiming at the debt and deficit has been turned up. The investor class cares deeply about this issue but the average voter can’t even conceptualize what 30-plus trillion dollars means and doesn’t tend to vote based on this. This spotlight on the issue is a good thing and will increase the chance that something gets done.

President Trump’s “big, beautiful” tax bill

The House Rules Committee advanced President Trump’s “big, beautiful” tax bill late Wednesday after 21 hours of debate and amendments, sending the legislation to the floor where it is expected to receive a final vote early Thursday morning.

The package includes a major spending increase for immigration enforcement and the military, and it would extend Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, which are scheduled to expire at the end of this year. It includes a series of cuts to Medicaid, food assistance, and clean energy funding to pay for the trillions of dollars in tax cuts and new red ink. (CNBC)

The bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates the bill would add between $3.3 trillion and $5.2 trillion to US federal debt by 2034, depending on whether policymakers extend temporary provisions. (Reuters)

Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, and House Freedom Caucus chair Andy Harris, R-Md., were among the members who met with Trump at the White House Wednesday afternoon, in a hastily arranged effort to convince fiscal hawks to set aside their objections and back the deficit-exploding package of tax cuts.

Meanwhile, markets tumbled on concerns that Trump’s spending bill would pass, leading to exploding federal deficits and weaker long-term fiscal health. The yield on the 30-year Treasury bond hit 5.09%. (CNBC)

The Dollar & the Dow

The dollar weakened, with the US Dollar Index breaking below 100. Follow-through below 98 would warn of a long-term decline with a target of 90.

Dollar Index

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed below its former primary support level at 42K. A follow-through below 41.5K would close the recent gap, signaling another test of primary support at 37K.

Dow Jones Industrial Average

Financial Markets

Recent weakness comes despite a sharp recovery in liquidity, with the Chicago Fed National Financial Conditions Index falling to -0.58.

Chicago Fed National Financial Conditions Index

Bitcoin also reached a new high of 110K, signaling a sharp increase in risk appetite in financial markets.

Bitcoin (BTC)

Gold & Physical Demand

Gold climbed above 3300, headed for a test of the resistance band between 3400 and 3500. A breakout would strengthen our target of 4000 by the end of 2025.

Spot Gold

A 700% year-over-year spike in COMEX physical gold deliveries in May 2025 (16,000 contracts, $5.3 billion), the largest in history, reflects unprecedented physical demand from institutions, possibly including the US government or Treasury. Despite the recent correction, gold’s rally to 3300 demonstrates resilience, with physical demand overwhelming paper price suppression. (Andy Schectman)

Conclusion

President Trump’s “big, beautiful tax bill” threatens a bond market revolt, with a steep rise in long-term Treasury yields if passed. The 10-year Treasury yield respected support at 4.5%, warning of a test of resistance at 5.0%.

Rising long-term yields would likely cause a sharp fall in the Dow and S&P 500.

The bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates the bill would add between $3.3 trillion and $5.2 trillion to US federal debt by 2034, depending on whether policymakers extend temporary provisions.

The dollar is weakening, and breakout of the US Dollar Index below 98 would confirm a long-term decline with a target of 90.

Gold is rising, and a breakout above 3500 would strengthen our long-term target of 4000 by the end of 2025.

Gold rallies as the dollar weakens

Summary

  • The S&P 500 is consolidating below 6000, and financial market liquidity is improving
  • However, US stocks are underperforming their global counterparts
  • Gold rallies as LT Treasury yields rise and the dollar weakens

The S&P 500 is consolidating between 5800, its former primary support level, and 6000 on the weekly chart below. Breakout to a new high would signal a return to bull market conditions, but we expect strong resistance between 6000 and 6100.

S&P 500

The Dow Jones Industrial Average has similarly recovered above former primary support at 42K, but does not yet signal a reversal to a primary uptrend.

Dow Jones Industrial Average

US stocks continue to underperform their global counterparts, with the broad DJ US Index (DJUS) lagging the Dow Global ex-US ($W2DOW).

Treasury Markets

10-Year Treasury yields are retracing to test new support at 4.5%. Respect will likely confirm our target of 5.0%.

Economy

The Conference Board’s leading economic index plunged sharply to 99.4% in April, the 1.0% drop following a 0.8% fall in March. The LEI is blue on the chart below.

The LEI below 100 warns of a recession ahead (black line below), but six-month growth in the LEI (blue below) has not quite reached -4.1%, which would trigger a recession signal (red).

Conference Board Leading Economic Index - Recession Signals

Dollar & Gold

The Dollar Index is retracing to test the band of support between 98 and 100. Breach of support would signal long-term dollar weakness, offering a target of 90.

Dollar Index

Gold found support at 3200 and, after breaking above 3250, is headed for a test of resistance between 3400 and 3500. Our long-term target is 4000 by the end of 2025.

Spot Gold

Silver is testing resistance at 34. Breakout would offer a target of 39.

Spot Silver

Conclusion

The S&P 500 is rallying as financial market liquidity improves, but we expect strong resistance between 6000 and 6100. US stocks continue to underperform their global counterparts, while the Conference Board’s leading economic index warns that the US economy is headed for recession.

10-year Treasury yields are rising, and respect of support at 4.5% would offer a target of 5.0%, another bear signal for stocks. The dollar is weakening, reflecting international capital outflows from US financial markets. A breakout of the Dollar Index below long-term support at 100 would warn of another decline, with a target of 90.

Gold is rising as the dollar weakens, and we expect another test of resistance between 3400 and 3500. Breakout would signal a fresh advance towards our long-term target of 4000 by the end of 2025.

Blow-off or buy the dip?

President Charles de Gaulle once equated being an ally of the United States to sharing a lifeboat with an elephant. The last month has been like sharing a lifeboat with an elephant on ketamine.

Gold epitomizes recent volatility in financial markets. It spiked up to $3,500 per ounce on President Trump’s threat to fire Fed chair Jerome Powell and then plunged when Treasury Secretary Bessent and later Trump moved to placate markets.

Spot Gold

Wall Street flipped to buy mode on Tuesday, without any fresh criticism of U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell or flip-flops on tariffs from President Donald Trump to disquiet markets again. Indexes reversed Monday’s tumble, hitting session highs following a report that U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had said a tariff standoff with China was unsustainable and he expected the situation to de-escalate, raising hopes a bit on U.S. trade negotiations. (Reuters)

Is this a blow-off?

No. The Trend Index shows a sharp rise in volatility since April 9, but these are short-term moves rather than the culmination of a long-term acceleration.

Blow-offs typically occur after a feedback loop in which rising prices attract more buyers, who drive up prices, attracting more buyers. The cycle repeats, with the trend growing increasingly steeper until the market reaches saturation point, when new buyers dry up and the market reverses in a sharp blow-off top.

Similar feedback loops occur in nature–from bushfires and housefires to locust swarms and cyclones–where they start slowly and accelerate into a massive culmination. A bushfire runs out of dry brush, a fire in a room runs out of oxygen, a locust swarm runs out of food, and a cyclone runs out of moist air when it reaches land. All end similarly: expanding rapidly until they consume all available fuel, then suddenly dying.

The weekly chart below shows a typical stock blow-off, experienced by vaccine specialist Moderna (MRNA) during the 2020-2021 COVID pandemic.

Moderna (MRNA)

MRNA gained 2500% in less than two years before the accelerating uptrend ended suddenly, with a shooting star reversal at $500. The stock had more than doubled in the preceding four weeks, with the weekly Trend Index spiking to a high of 5.

In comparison, gold gained 75% over the past 14 months, accelerating to a 16% gain in the past five weeks, with the Trend Index peaking at a high of 1.

Weekly Gold Chart

Conclusion

There is no evidence that rising demand for gold is approaching a culmination. Private demand is growing, and central banks are rapidly converting reserves to gold. Demand is fueled by global uncertainty, and there is no end in sight.

The current pull-back is a much-needed correction after a steep advance. We expect strong support around $3,150 per ounce and will buy the dip. Our long-term target remains $4,000 within the next six months.
