"$DXY dollar index (which as a reminder is very euro heavy (over 50%) and not trade weighted) at one point was up for a 5th day (and 9th in 11) and pushing over the 50-DMA before the Trump/Powell news sent it plummeting over -1%. While it rebounded it still finished lower for the session. The daily MACD as noted last Monday crossed over to cover shorts while the RSI is just off the highest in nearly two months and over XX after having moved from under to over XX which can be a signal of a reversal of a downtrend so its got a lot of boxes checked for a move higher as I noted Monday.

"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. In practice if we were to see a material rise in volatility from here it"

"MarketWatch: We already have TACO now Volkmar Baur a currency analyst for Commerzbank offers another food metaphor for the Trump tariff strategy: salami.

"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. The risks to these assumptions are two-sided but generally tilted"

They also assume full pass through and no Fed response. Unsurprisingly given those assumptions they see a negative impact to prices (particularly shoe & apparel) employment (they see unemployment rising by a half percent by YE) and GDP (-0.9% drag in 2025 as stronger US manufacturing"

"Goldman: The equity market appears to be unconcerned by the recent tariff hike announcements. The S&P XXX fell sharply immediately following tariff announcements earlier this year with a basket of stocks with broad tariff exposure (GS24TRFS) underperforming on those days. However US equities have largely ignored the most recent tariff announcements (Exhibit 2). The S&P XXX notched a new record high this week and the GS Tariff Risk basket is just X% off its high. Our client conversations indicate that many investors believe tariff rates will eventually settle lower than what the recent"

"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"

"BoA notes on gamma positioning that as of Thursdays close SPX gamma was +$2.6bn (47th 1y %ile) a relatively modest figure. However a large portion of Thursdays gamma footprint is due to Julys 3rd Friday expiry (i.e. 18-Jul) which is now past. 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. It remains little changed on declines until around the 6150 but then builds. Again though this is all likely to change as"
