Breakfast Bites - Tue Aug 22, 2023

Rise and shine everyone.


We got a bit of a relief rally yesterday. According to GS, yesterday was the best day for SPX vs SPW (S&P Equal Weight) since June 22 given narrow breadth with NVDA, MSFT, TSLA and AAPL comprising ~80% of the SPX move higher.


US Equities are trading higher this morning while yields make a slight pullback. The Yield Curve inverts marginally to -0.68%. Gold is trading higher; Crude Oil, USD Index and Bitcoin are all lower.


We have existing home sales data coming out in the US today and a couple of Fed Speakers.


We had a whole host of retail earnings this morning. Overall, we’re seeing quite a few revenue misses coming out of these companies. While inventory levels are better leading to slightly more stable margins, the top line remains weak with the decline in inflation and demand.


The highlights of the week still remain NVDA earnings on Wednesday after market close and Jackson Hole on Friday.
