Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh will hold a monetary policy press conference in ten minutes.On July 30th, Federal Reserve officials kept interest rates unchanged, but the vote was divided, showing that some policymakers are increasingly convinced that a rate hike is needed to curb rising inflation. Logan, Hammark, and Kashkari all voted against a 25-basis-point increase. This marks the fifth consecutive time officials have chosen to keep rates unchanged. The rest of the committees post-meeting statement was entirely consistent with the statement released after the June meeting. Officials reiterated their commitment to "achieving price stability." However, the dissenting votes suggest that for Fed Chair Warsh, who just took office in May, continuing to hold rates steady will face greater challenges if inflation concerns intensify. Trump has repeatedly called for rate cuts, including this Monday. Warsh, nominated by Trump to be Fed Chair earlier this year, stated that he would ensure policy decisions are not influenced by politics.On July 30th, in this interest rate decision, three of the five regional Federal Reserve presidents voting on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voted against it: Cleveland Fed President Hammark, Minneapolis Fed President Kashkari, and Dallas Fed President Logan. All three unanimously advocated for a 25 basis point rate hike. This is the first time since September 2016 that the Fed has seen three unanimous dissenting votes in a single policy decision, reflecting a growing voice within the Fed supporting a tightening policy. Fed Chairman Warsh, who supports maintaining the current interest rate, has consistently emphasized the Feds responsibility to curb inflation. He is expected to be asked at the press conference at 2:30 AM Beijing time why he believes continuing to be patient remains the most appropriate policy option.Market expectations indicate that the market is no longer fully pricing in a September rate hike by the Federal Reserve.Nick Timuraos, the Feds mouthpiece: The FOMC decided to keep interest rates unchanged with a 9-3 vote. Three regional Fed presidents voted against a 25-basis-point rate hike. This is the first time since 2016 that the Fed has received three unanimous dissenting votes in a single policy decision.

DAILY COMPARISON CHART FOR SPY - SPDR S&P 500 ETF TRUST

Please notice the exact positioning of the Transportation, Precious Metals, Energy, and Utilities sectors as we examine our cycle graphic.


We'd like to pay specific attention to the Transportation industry, which is depreciating while the Utility sector is appreciating.


These industries may tell us a lot about where we are in the current economic cycle.


YTD, THE UTILITIES SECTOR IS UP +7.50%.


The Dow Jones Utility Average exceeded 1,000 for the first time in its almost 100-year existence in March 2022, indicating that the utility sector is outperforming the market this year.


Many investors feel the XLU is the most effective risk-reducing equities ETF on the market, and they may be turning to the utilities sector as a safe-haven investment.


Gold, the US dollar, and the Swiss franc are three other safe-haven assets we're keeping an eye on.

SPDR SELECT SECTOR ETF (XLU) DAILY CHART OF UTILITIES

YTD, THE TRANSPORTATION SECTOR IS DOWN -15.92%.

From its high in November 2021, the transportation industry has decreased by around -21.59 percent.


From peak to trough, market cycles are counted. When a stock index's closing price declines by at least 20% from its high, traders consider it to be in a bear market. The reduction in the XLU from 100.00 to 80.00 equals 33.33 percent of the whole bull market advance in 2020-21.


The US Department of Labor said on April 1st that the number of truck transportation employment decreased in March after 21 months of growth. Then, on April 8th, Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) downgraded a number of transportation equities, citing "waving demand and price drops" as the reason. "Given weakening demand outlooks and quickly decreasing freight rates, we cut ratings on 9 of the 28 equities in our covered universe," Bank of America analyst Ken Hoexter told clients.


Because economic demand shows up first in shipping orders, the transportation index was devised in July 1884 by Charles Dow and has long been regarded as a leading indication of the overall market's direction. Historically, a drop in freight has signaled the start of a widespread economic downturn.
