Risk of Another U.S. Government Shutdown

Risk of Another U.S. Government Shutdown: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Stocks Fall to Start a Busy Economic Week

Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye notes markets are digesting Friday night’s news that Moody’s cut its outlook on U.S. credit to negative, though it kept the rating itself. Markets may also react to rising tensions in the Middle East as the U.S. launches airstrikes in Syria.

“Beyond today, though, in addition to the economic catalysts this week, risk of another U.S. government shutdown is rising as there needs to be a short-term spending deal by Friday to avoid a shutdown,” Esaye writes.

“So, any progress on that front today will help markets, while any negative headlines will likely provide a small headwind.”

Treasury Yields To Continue To Drive Short-Term Trading: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Stocks Extend Rally After Best Week of the Year

“Today there are no notable economic reports and just one Fed speaker, [Lisa] Cook (11:00 a.m. ET), so look for Treasury yields to continue to drive short-term trading,” writes Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye.

The 10-year Treasury yield ticked higher on Monday but was still at 4.614%. The 10-year yield was trading around 5% in October, which weighed on rate-sensitive stocks.

“If the 10-year yield continues to decline then the S&P 500 can extend last week’s rally.”

Israel Moved Forces Into Gaza: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Stocks Bounce Back From Dreadful Week

“Geo-politically, Israel moved forces into Gaza over the weekend but the operation is not as large as feared (yet) and that’s helping to slightly reduce geopolitical anxiety,” writes Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye.

Aside from a stacked slate of earnings reports headlined by Apple (ticker: AAPL) this week, traders will be watching developments in the Israel-Hamas war and Wednesday’s interest-rate decision from the Federal Reserve.

Core PCE Reading Was Inline With Expectations: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

S&P 500 Joins Nasdaq in Correction Territory

Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye told Barron’s the core PCE reading was inline with expectations but didn’t eliminate the risk of inflation rebounding.

He added that Amazon and Intel’s earnings didn’t outweigh what has been a bad week overall.

“And, while there’s progress in Washington, markets won’t celebrate the Republicans being able to finally elect a speaker, and there’s still the prospect of a government shutdown looming,” Essaye added.

Powell’s Speech Main Takeaway

The Main Takeaway From Powell’s Speech: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s on MSN

The Stock Rally Won’t Resume Any Time Soon. Here’s Why.

As Sevens Reports Tom Essaye put it, “The main takeaway from Powell’s speech was that in this situation, there’s no way the Fed can get dovish.”
Bulls have pointed to ongoing strength in the labor market as evidence that the economy is still humming, and fodder for the rally. However, as plenty of Federal Reserve watches noted after Chairman Jerome Powell’s remarks last week, the central bank doesn’t appear inclined to let rates fall.

A Lot of Important Reports: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Stocks Fall as 10-Year Yields Touches 5%

Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye writes that the economic calendar is quiet on Monday, so yields will continue to be in focus. He thinks the higher yields go, the lower stocks will fall.

The 10-Year Yield Sits at 5.00%: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

10-Year Treasury Yield Hovers Around Milestone 5% Level, Adding Pressure to Stocks

“The 10-year yield sits at 5.00% as of this writing. And the higher it goes today, the lower stocks will likely fall,” said Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research. “Today, any progress on electing a Speaker of the House will be welcomed by the markets and likely push yields lower.”

The recent, dramatic march higher in yields has added significant headwinds for stocks. Because higher returns on risk-free government debt tend to dampen demand for riskier bets, such as equities.

Trading Today Will be Dominated by Politics, Geopolitics, and Yields: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Stocks Continue Falling Following Powell Remarks

The 10-year Treasury yield ticked lower to 4.949% after threatening to hit 5% for the first time since 2007.

Sevens Reports Research’s Tom Essaye notes that although two Federal Reserve officials are set to speak publicly today. He doesn’t expect either to move markets following Powell’s comments on Thursday.

“So, trading today will be dominated by politics, geopolitics, and yields,” he writes. “Any progress on finding a Speaker of the House will be welcomed by markets (regardless of whether it’s Jordan, McHenry or anyone else), and calming of tensions in the Middle East will similarly be welcomed by markets as would a decline in the 10-year yield. Meanwhile, the opposite of any of those will likely add more headwinds to stocks.”

It’ll be Very Hard for This Market to Rally: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Dow Falls Nearly 250 Points. 10-Year Nears 5%.

Stocks tumbled and bond yields rose Thursday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell paved the way for keeping rates steady.

“Treasury yields are doing exactly what we’d expect given Powell essentially said rates won’t go any higher, but they will stay higher for longer and the economy is strong,” Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye told Barron’s.

 “It’ll be very hard for this market to meaningfully rally with yields this high. But, barring a major geo-political positive surprise or great earnings season.”
