An invasion of Gaza: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s


Stocks Are Rising Ahead of Big Week for Earnings

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 215 points, or 0.6%, shortly after the market opened on Monday. The S&P 500 was up 0.5%. The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.4%.

“Futures are slightly higher as the weekend brought no major changes to the current macro-economic set up,” wrote Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye earlier Monday morning. “Geopolitically, an invasion of Gaza by Israel remains imminent but so far the conflict hasn’t expanded regionally and oil is little changed as a result.”

Israel Readies For A Potential Invasion: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s


Energy Stocks Gain as Oil Prices Rise

The Middle East is a critical region for crude supply. The ongoing war between Israel and Hamas poses a risk to oil supply, and the escalation does not look likely to ease anytime soon.

“Israel warned more than one million residents to evacuate southern Gaza in the next 24 hours as it readies for a potential invasion and oil is rallying 3% as a result,” Tom Essaye, founder of the Sevens Report, wrote Friday.

Upward Pressure in Treasury Yields

Upward Pressure in Treasury Yields: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s


Stock Futures Slide as Bond Yields Keep Rising

Firstly, “Markets want to see Congress take some actual steps towards curbing spending and addressing the long-term fiscal issues facing the country,” wrote Tom Essaye, president of Sevens Report Research. “In order for that to happen, the Congress needs to function relatively normally, and that’s in doubt.”

“That doubt is adding to the upward pressure in Treasury yields. While that is not the only reason yields have risen, it is a contributing factor that the sooner the markets get more confidence in Congress being able to function properly, the sooner it removes a tailwind on Treasury yields (that will be good for stocks),” he continued.

Copper Could Recover And Signal A Relief Rally

Copper Could Recover: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s


Copper Prices Have Tumbled. Is a Global Recession Coming?

That’s why, for copper, “there is key 2023 support between $3.57 and $3.62 [per pound] that will be in focus near term,” wrote Sevens Report’s Tom Essaye. “If it holds, copper could recover and signal a relief rally developing in risk assets more broadly but a violation would be a negative signal for global markets.”

Economic Data & Inflation: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s


Stock Markets Pause Ahead of Next Week’s Fed Decision

Firstly, “Today focus will be on economic data and if data is ‘Goldilocks’ like we saw on Thursday, expect a continuation of yesterday’s rally.” “Conversely, if the data shows inflation hot or growth slowing, don’t be surprised if markets give back most of yesterday’s rally,” writes Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye.

The United Auto Workers also began a partial strike on Friday. Uncertainty surrounding the impact of the strike could weigh on markets.

Stocks Pop in Relief Rally

Stocks Pop in Relief Rally: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s


Stocks Pop in Relief Rally

Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye told Barron’s he believes the market is experiencing a form of a relief rally.

He noted a wave of key catalysts for stocks has passed without significant negative surprises. This included the consumer price index on Wednesday and data on producer prices and retail sales on Thursday.

“Specifically for today, the ECB signaling it’s done with rate hikes combined with Goldilocks economic data to boost stocks and it’s just been building throughout the day,” Essaye says. “Essentially, it’s a similar dynamic to what we saw in June and July. Where markets are optimistic on growth (so more confident of a no/soft landing) and we see the ‘rest’ of the market outperform vs. tech.”
