The S&P remains on an incredible run from October's lows of 2023. We are now breaching to new highs on the index at the time of writing this. It seems as if the direction is set for the summer. There is not much else to see from the fundamental data until next month and August.

If the rate cut chances stay favorable in September, the market may continue to slowly push higher during the summer months. Until we see that shift, if it comes, it will be hard to trade against the upside on this trend.

Gold still remains bullish as it sits one point away from a strong bullish reading. Smart money continues to slowly buy up this metal and is the most longed asset on the EdgeFinder. Aside from NFP, labor has been on a steady decline for the past year.

This in turn with falling yields could be a great setup for gold's strength. On top of that, GDP, PMI and retail sales numbers seem to suggest an overall slippage in the US economy. Stubborn inflation is what could be causing the slower output.

Gold
Price is trying to recover from the lows after testing support around the $2,300 level. Retail sales came in lower than expected although last month was revised lower. If gold can breach back up above a key trend line on the 1D timeframe, the metal may be able to retest the previous top around $2,387. -Frank

S&P 500
SPX churns higher today on softer retail sales numbers. Although it is weaker economic news, it could be a sign that inflation is cooling this month. If we continue to see a trend in lower CPI, retail sales, wages, it may increase the probability of a Fed cut this year. -Frank

Dollar Index
USD topped out at 105.72 for the time being after these cooler retail sales data suggested lower inflation. Uncertainty has brought the dollar higher, and maybe those fears are dwindling as more data points to a soft landing and a loose Fed policy. -Frank
