The seven members of the Board of Governors are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. A full term is XX years with one term beginning every two years on even-numbered years.

"MarketWatch: Alex Manzara at R.J. O'Brien makes the point that even if the Trump administration is successful in getting a more pliant Fed there's still another issue in its quest to lower mortgage rates. The spread between the 10-year note and 30-year mortgage rates has increased from about XXX basis points between 2017 and 2019 to XXX basis points now. That's as the White House is contemplating freeing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from government control -- a move that could potentially send the spread still higher. "If Fannie and Freddie are privatized it's likely the market will demand"

"This was interesting. Under a provision of the tax code intended to encourage entrepreneurship by letting Americans create new companies with existing assets an investor can take their portfolio and form an ETF. Once the ETF is launched they can use flows in and out to rebalance away from oversized positions without incurring a taxable gain. You say Gee Nvidias gotten a little bit too rich for my blood Id like to get rid of it says Elwood. The problem you would have is the only way to do it in a separately managed account would be to sell it recognize some taxable gain. Instead you "transfer"

So BoA sees gamma as remaining relatively low but still positive which should have some marginal dampening impact on volatility but as of Thursday at least it saw a big wall that is perhaps what has kept SPX rallies from extending.

"Looking at CTA (trend follower) positioning in the US indices BOA says: According to our model trend followers added to equity longs this week especially in the US as the S&P XXX and NASDAQ-100 reached new all-time highs. In fact long positioning in NASDAQ-100 futures looks to be in consensus across short- medium- and long-term trend followers which increases the potential impact should CTAs unwind in a reversal. Our closest NASDAQ unwind trigger is still more X% lower from Fridays close with selling accelerating at X% lower from the index high. So BoA sees CTAs as continuing to add to equity"

"Goldman says they see a highly unusual discrepancy between the "the front month VIX future which is extremely elevated vs implied volatilityThe roll down is huge. We think a lot of this is due to the massive growth in the VIX ETN complex as retail investors pile in to these products - this essentially leads to the VIX market acting a bit more short gamma: selling more vol on days when vol is down and buying more vol on days vol is up to stay rebalanced. The conclusion here is that with VIX future at such an elevated level and roll down so steep as UX1 comes in more equity buying ensues"

"Tier1Alpha who gives a more recent update (this morning) says those strikes are likely resetting in a relatively favorable fashion for equities: Dealers will start the week long gamma implying the conditions for lower volatility remain firmly in place. That said following last week's monthly options expiration overall gamma levels should be at their cyclical lows. Consequently a modest uptick in realized volatility is reasonable to expect though it will likely occur within the context of a broader low-volatility regime.

"Goldman (Hatzius): We have made several changes to our trade policy assumptions on the back of President Trumps latest threats. While we don't expect the letter tariffs scheduled for August X to take effect we now build in an increase in the "reciprocal" tariff rate from XX% to 15%. By contrast we think the XX% pharma tariff will be delayed until after the 2026 midterm election. This still implies an increase in the average effective tariff rate of about 14pp in 2025 but we now expect another 3pp increase to nearly XX% in 2026.

"Goldman: One reason why President Trump might raise tariffs further is that the costs of the trade war have been smaller than anticipated so far.
