The PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish ETF (UUP), which provides exposure to the dollar’s futures contracts, has risen 3.3% year-to-date (or YTD) and 6.5% since late March. The recent run to safe-haven assets following the tariff announcements, in concert with the Fed’s hawkish tone, has supported the US dollar. The ECB’s (European Central Bank) tone was more dovish than expected in its last meeting, which supports the monetary policy divergence theory and favors the US dollar. While the rally in the US dollar might have dominated the foreign exchange markets for the last few months, that could be about to change.

Among the business and labor groups who have weighed in on President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nomination, response has been predictably divided. The chairman of the National Association of Home Builders, Randy Noel, also gave his group’s support, saying in a statement that Kavanaugh “has been recognized for his sharp legal mind and as a stalwart defender of our Constitution.” Noel urged the Senate to confirm Kavanaugh without delay. A spokeswoman said the U.S. Chamber of Commerce congratulates Kavanaugh and looks “forward to reviewing his record on legal issues important to the business community.” Several other industry groups declined to comment on the nomination.

US Stocks Face Grim Decade of Low Returns: Morningstar
The good times for U.S. equities may be about to stop rolling. After outperforming much of the rest of global markets over the past decade and continually hitting new record highs, U.S. stocks are likely to become the international laggards over the coming decade, as per the opinions of strategists at Morningstar Investment Management Europe. In the words of Dan Kemp, Morningstar’s chief investment officer for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, “Our expectations at the moment is that you won’t have any real return from U.S. equities over the next 10 years,” according to Marketwatch.

Analyst Says One Word Will Dominate Markets In The Second Half Of 2018: 'Recession'
This week, DataTrek Research co-founder Nicholas Colas raised some eyebrows with a note discussing his outlook for the second half of 2018. The following three phenomena are the primary concerns for corporate managers in determining how much money they spend and how many employees they hire — or fire — between now and the end of the year, Colas said. 1. The second phenomenon that Colas said could trigger recession fears is the fact that the U.S. economy is firing on all cylinders, and spending and earnings growth potentially have nowhere to go but down.

Stock Market Faces Wild Swings in Second Half: Byron Wien
In the 1970s and 1980s, TV ads for brokerage firm E.F. Hutton had the tagline, "When E.F. Hutton talks, people listen." The same slogan could describe Byron Wien, a respected market guru associated with The Blackstone Group since 2005. Before that, he spent 21 years as an investment strategist at Morgan Stanley, during which time he also co-authored a book with legendary hedge fund manager George Soros. Wien believes that the S&P 500 Index (SPX) can reach the 3,000 mark after the midterm elections in November, representing a gain of roughly 10% from the July 2 close and over 12% from the start of 2018, but cautions that it may be a bumpy ride.
