The colossal miss is restoring risk-on sentiments on Wall Street after yesterday\u2019s selloff, and the recovery is being supported by a wider path for a steady Federal Reserve that may avoid hikes this year. Indeed, the yield curve is plunging in bull-steepening fashion led by the monetary policy sensitive shorter tenors, as a 2.6% core reading signals significant progress in just a few short weeks. Still the Treasury gains, while substantial, were pared back by Fed Chair Warsh stating in today\u2019s House testimony that the central bank has no tolerance for persistent inflation. The fixed-income advance was additionally capped by rising fuel costs, with WTI jumping north of $81 in the early morning. Stocks are higher, too, with AI spending prospects being bolstered by a declining bid for software shares after IBM blamed elevated expenditures on AI servers and associated semiconductors for depriving their customers of cash that could have otherwise been used to purchase the firm\u2019s marquee mainframe products. Robust profit performances from the big financials also aided equities, with all major benchmarks appreciating amidst 6 of the 11 principal sectors in the green. The depreciating greenback, driven by cheaper domestic credit, is lifting the commodity complexes, especially precious metals, while a reduction in hedging demand weighs on volatility protection instrument premiums. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-consumer-prices-fell-last-month\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Consumer Prices Fell Last Month<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Consumer Price Index (CPI) declined broadly month-over-month (m\/m) in June as lighter fuel costs and elevated interest rates spread across the economy and put the brakes on gasoline, goods, housing and services charges. The headline figure fell 0.4% m\/m and rose 3.5% year over year (y\/y), much softer than the -0.1% and 3.8% expected and the 0.5% and 4.2% from May. The core versions, which exclude food and energy due to their volatile characteristics, were flat m\/m and up 2.6% y\/y, beneath the 0.2% and 2.8% projections and the 0.2% and 2.9% from the preceding period. The following components and the extent of their changes became less expensive compared to May:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gasoline, 9.7%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Electricity, 1%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apparel, 0.6%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transportation services, 0.3%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Medical care commodities, 0.2%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Used automobiles, 0.2%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Medical care services, 0.1%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conversely, heating, food and shelter saw modest overall increases of 0.5%, 0.2% and 0.1%. New cars were unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1008\" height=\"734\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/image-36.png\" alt=\"consumer price index chart\" class=\"wp-image-215664 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/07\/image-36.png 1008w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/07\/image-36-700x510.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/07\/image-36-300x218.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/07\/image-36-768x559.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1008px; aspect-ratio: 1008\/734;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Past performance is not indicative of future results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-and-small-biz-sentiment-strengthens\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>And Small Biz Sentiment Strengthens<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lift in sales expectations resulting from a stronger economic outlook drove a robust recovery in the National Federation of Independent Business\u2019s sentiment indicator. Small business optimism rose to 97.4 in June, exceeding the 95.8 median estimate and 95.3 from the previous period. While GDP prospects and revenue projections climbed 10 and 8 points, capital expenditure intentions, job opening levels, hiring plans and scaling programs improved by 4, 3, 2 and 1. Conversely, earnings trends, inventory growth objectives and expected credit conditions dropped by 5, 4 and 2. When asked what the single most important problem was for entrepreneurs in the survey, meanwhile, 21%, 19% and 19% answered inflation, taxes, and the availability of workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1008\" height=\"734\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/image-37.png\" alt=\"small business optimism index chart\" class=\"wp-image-215665 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/07\/image-37.png 1008w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/07\/image-37-700x510.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/07\/image-37-300x218.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/07\/image-37-768x559.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1008px; aspect-ratio: 1008\/734;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Past performance is not indicative of future results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-bar-is-high-for-tomorrow-s-ppi\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bar Is High for Tomorrow\u2019s PPI<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plunging fuel costs are likely to drive a miss in tomorrow\u2019s Producer Price Index (PPI) and today\u2019s Treasury rally is poised to extend further assuming geopolitical tensions don\u2019t worsen from here. Indeed, the indicator is expected to sport an unchanged m\/m figure amidst a y\/y deceleration from 6.5% to 6.2% on the heels of this morning\u2019s CPI falling sharply m\/m and printing a 0.7% slowdown from 4.2% to 3.5% on the annualized statistic. Bondholders are positioned to benefit from this road south on inflation even if equities stumble, as the 20- and 30-year maturities remain significantly undervalued, in my opinion, with rates well above 5% amidst core charges running in the mid 2s. This spread in real restriction is far too wide from a historical perspective, in my view, and should narrow in the near future as the yield curve flattens or continues its bull-steepening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-international-roundup\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>International Roundup<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-china-s-trade-surplus-balloons-to-second-highest-in-history\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>China\u2019s Trade Surplus Balloons to Second Highest in History<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a tailwind of growing demand for AI technology and automobiles, China boosted its exports by 27% y\/y last month, which pushed its trade surplus to $125.6 billion. The value of exports, furthermore, hit a 53-month high with the y\/y jump exceeding the 18.2% expansion anticipated by a consensus of economists. In May, the value of items shipped abroad climbed 19.4%. Meanwhile, imports grew 36% y\/y, exceeding the estimate of 24% and May\u2019s 27.4% increase. Foreign countries increased their purchases of Chinese semiconductors by a staggering 121.9% y\/y. The values of automobiles and ships sent beyond the country\u2019s border, furthermore, were 69.6% and 42.3% higher than in the year-ago period.&nbsp;Demand from Southeast Asian nations, South Korea and Europe grew the fastest at 42.6%, 34.5% and 18.5% but decelerated in the US and Japan. Imports grew the most from South Korea and Taiwan. Among products, electrical items led the growth due to imports of automatic data processing machines and semiconductors. Oil imports, however, sank to an approximately 10-year low as China has relied on its huge strategic reserve as a buffer against higher prices for the black gold. The practice has dampened the impact upon oil prices of the US-Iran war. Also in June, coal imports surged after stricter enforcement of safety regulations within the country caused a drop in production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-singapore-gdp-eases\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Singapore GDP Eases<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Singapore\u2019s second-quarter gross domestic product grew 5.7% y\/y and 1.1% quarter over quarter (q\/q) after posting 6.3% and 1.3% y\/y and m\/m growth during the first three months of this year, according to preliminary data from Statistics Singapore. On a y\/y basis, manufacturing, construction and services producing industries expanded 12.2%, 6.2% and 4.6%. Within the services component, wholesale and retail trade and transportation and storage expanded by 6.3%. Strong demand for semiconductors and prevision energy resulting from the development of artificial intelligence was a tailwind for the country\u2019s manufacturing sector. Conversely, chemicals and biomedical manufacturing weakened, largely due to supply disruptions from the Iran-US war. For the q\/q print, construction contracted by 2.1% while manufacturing grew 5.3%. The services producing industries group was only 0.3% higher.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-japan-industrial-production-slows\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Japan Industrial Production Slows<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Industrial production in Japan during May was up 0.1% m\/m, missing the economist consensus estimate for a 0.5% expansion, which would have matched April\u2019s result. When compared to the same month of 2025, production was down 2.1%. Also in May, inventories fell 1.1% m\/m and 5% y\/y and capacity utilization strengthened by 0.1% following a 0.8% drop in the prior period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-consumer-sentiment-strengthens-in-australia\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Consumer Sentiment Strengthens in Australia<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Easing fuel prices and a decline in expectations for interest rate increases nudged the Westpack-Melbourne Institute Consumer Sentiment Index up 4.1% to 83.9, but pessimism is still prevalent. Indeed, the July reading is among the worst 10% of results in the survey\u2019s 50-year history. The research found that family finances continue to be under intense pressure and sentiment is being held hostage to developments abroad, namely, the US-Iran war. Despite that, family finances compared to a year ago were up 5.6% to 71.1, but the print is still 14% below the start of the Middle East crisis. In other areas, 60% of respondents expect mortgage rates to increase, a decline from 66% in June and the assessment regarding if this is a good time to buy a dwelling rose 5.3% to 85.4.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An ice-cold CPI signaling the first monthly decline after rounding in over six years has
