Barry Knapp thinks we hit the low for the year during the initial tariffs reaction. However, he’s turning attention to the U.S. deficit, which has fallen under the radar during this bout of volatility. “We have to get spending back on track,” he argues, but Congress is getting “weak-kneed” about reducing spending over time. This risks losing control over the back end of the yield curve, Barry posi...

Sandra Swirski calls the deal framework set by the U.K. and U.S. a "narrow" win. While she notes it could open the door to other countries, the deal will only "embolden" China.

Treasury Secretary Scott Be...

Markets looked different 30 minutes before the close, when bulls crossed the 5,700 level in the SPX, which Kevin Green labeled as resistance. That push higher was supported by silver's price climb and MACD inching toward a bullish cross.
