    Sep 7 2025
    Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1360.

We recommend a cautious, defensive posture, favoring value and resilient sectors like healthcare and real estate, while selectively engaging with eventdriven opportunities in tech. Fixed income is advised for stability, given forecast lower longterm yields, though all positions are sensitive to inflation surprises.

Key movers included Broadcom and Macy's surging, Lululemon tumbling, and NVDA, MSFT, and AMZN dipping on tariff warnings. The August jobs report, significantly missing expectations with only 22,000 nonfarm payrolls and a 4.3% unemployment rate, has solidified predictions for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut this month. Inflation and weakening consumer sentiment remain key concerns as investors look to the upcoming Fed meeting and CPI data.

  • Market Peaks and Policy Shifts

    Market Peaks and Policy Shifts
    Aug 30 2025
    Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1353. The market experienced a rollercoaster week in late August, reaching record highs midweek before a Friday pullback due to new inflation data. Despite this, August closed with solid monthly gains for major indices. Key drivers included strong GDP revisions and robust earnings from tech, though the sector also saw significant declines on Friday led by Nvidia and Dell. Inflation, particularly core PCE, remains above the Fed's 2% target, yet a September interest rate cut is anticipated amidst signs of a cooling labor market. Investment recommendations include diversifying into smallcap and value stocks, closely monitoring Fed policy, strategic sector selection (caution with tech, consider industrials and healthcare), and using gold as a hedge against volatility.
