[$$] Jeffrey Gundlach Says We're Getting Closer to a Recession
Jeffrey Gundlach: We are more cautious about 2019 than about this year. The one indicator that is somewhat negative is the yield curve, which has flattened pretty relentlessly for the past year or two as the Fed has been tightening. There’s a narrative out there that says the flattening yield curve isn’t sending any message about a recession, and that couldn’t be more wrong.

Energy: E&P Companies Finally Hitting Their Stride
Energy had a rough start to the year, but the sector has since bounced back, and exploration and production companies have seen the lion's share of the gains, with SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production (XOP) up 15.8% year to date, more than three times the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF's (XLE) 5% gain. Certainly, crude prices have turned higher, which is a help, but that's not the only thing going on here. Energy stocks, including formerly spendthrift E&P companies, have also shown more capital discipline in a way that's inspiring investors. Morgan Stanley's Devin McDermott cites these factors and others in his bullish initiation of the large-cap E&P sector Thursday, writing that "the stage is set" for these companies to deliver strong free cash flow and capital returns "supporting continued strength in the group." He writes that after years of spending beyond their means and disappointing investors, E&P companies are finally reaping the benefits of higher oil prices and lower supply costs, and while the tide has turned, plenty of investors haven't realized that it's time to get back into the sector.
