Market Review & Outlook:
Recent economic data suggest economic growth in the second quarter accelerating from the 2.2% annual rate in the first. Inflation too appears to be gaining traction. Trade tension between the U. S. and European allies & Canada is also rising. Looking ahead, President Trump and North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un are set to meet in Singapore today. The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee also starts its two-day meeting today to discuss monetary policy. The June Report starts with the ‘Market Review & Outlook’ section.
Automotive:
The Trump administration maneuvered to increase tariffs on imported vehicles as part of its trade negotiations. GM shares rallied after Softbank invested $2 billion in GM’s autonomous vehicle venture. An upbeat profit forecast helped Toyota shares hold up well in a tough milieu for foreign carmaker shares. Comments on automotive start on page 2.
Retailing:
Retailers were in the thick of their earnings reporting season. Shares of retailers catering to higher-end customers generally fared well. Shares of discounters lost ground. Discounters can also be more vulnerable to the rise in oil prices if consumer spending falls and transportation costs rise. Comments on retailing are on page 8.
Semiconductors:
Strong earnings reports, large share buybacks, and easing fears of regulators scuttling deals powered preferred semiconductor investments to gain over 11% on average. Although semiconductor stocks exposed to smartphone & cryptocurrency markets can lose ground near-term, others can add to their gains. Comments on semiconductors are on page 8.
We welcome your comments.
