With the thought/goal of staying quiet during my week long travels this week due mainly to the unique time change …this will be registered as a “FAIL” … but wait a minute, absolutely no one awake or nearing consciousness given the 30k plus steps logged yesterday and the time zone zombie like fatigue… Your Early Bird here!
One other item, this Thursday -19th -is a National Holiday, Juneteenth – Banks, Government Offices and Our office will be closed!
Let’s go before someone wakes! – will keep it short…
Possible Hiccup Economic Zone for a short term
Our favorite research provider – Hedgeye has a negative blip coming in July. This is in part due to comparable data. The key word is blip, if they are correct, this should be a much shorter term negative impact all other things being equal.

Tariff Reminder – Some due dates coming
The 90 day extension from April sunsets on July 9th (Reciprocal extension) and with comments of a likely extension, this date does fall just after a major National Holiday, July 4th and with many announcements running right up to the deadlines a very close to deadline push out of this extension would not be surprising.
Geo Politics
With major international and domestic events, the uncertainty and news flow will certainly give pause. These events are VERY rapidly changing and without a doubt keeping everyone on edge.
Capital Markets Main Focus
For the record, there are usually always some type of event for Market Participants to worry about, but these are larger and more numerous.
All of the above are a lot, and certainly unnerving … but with regards to Capital Markets and their focus (rightly or wrongly) is always on Economic Growth the expansion or contraction of that growth.
Have a Good “Failed in my silence Reminder” Day! Hello and Good Morning/Good Night from across the pond!
