When the unthinkable happens: U.S.-China trade negotiations break down for good
It’s impossible to forecast where the U.S.-China trade confrontation is going, although given what the bond market is doing, it’s no place good. The markets are trading on headlines that may become economic events, but the worst-case scenario of much higher tariffs and a much bigger slowdown in global trade has not developed yet. In other words, I don’t think we are yet at the point of no return in this trade negotiation.

Here’s why U.S. stocks could fall further
The U.S. stock market hasn’t yet hit a correction low. Despite a 6.6% decline in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) , including an 800-point drop on Wednesday of this week, many short-term market timers are still giving the stock market’s June-July rally the benefit of the doubt. Assuming this recent bout of weakness lives up to historical patterns, more market weakness is needed before there is a strong enough “wall of worry” among investors to support a tradable rally.

GLOBAL MARKETS-Dollar firms, stocks soar on ECB rate cut expectations
U.S. and European stocks surged on Friday on expectations the European Central Bank will cut interest rates but the dollar pared gains against the euro after a report said the German government was prepared to take on new debt to lift the economy. The dollar hit a two-week high against the euro as expectations of ECB stimulus weighed on the single currency and bullish data showing a jump in U.S. homebuilding permits to a seven-month high also helped lift the greenback. The euro rebounded to pare most losses after Der Spiegel magazine said the German government would be prepared to ditch its balanced budget rule and take on new debt to counter a possible recession.

This past week was marked by heightened anxieties about a domestic recession after the 10-year Treasury rate fell below that of the 2-year Treasury note briefly on Wednesday, a condition that has been an accurate predictor of economic recessions in the months after the so-called yield-curve inversion takes place.
