Yesterday's Recap

US equity markets closed higher on July 12 with the S&P 500 rising 0.42% to 7,575.39, Nasdaq 100 gaining 0.33% and Dow Jones adding 0.29%. The Russell 2000 declined 0.49%. Treasury yields eased across the curve, with the 2-year note falling 1.19% to 4.16% and the 10-year declining 0.44% to 4.54%.

WTI crude surged 3.47% to $73.89 while gold dropped 1.00% to $4,063. USD/JPY eased 0.18% to 162.07. Fed Governor Bowman delivered medium-impact remarks with no new policy signals.

Unemployment stood at 4.20% and CPI at 4.17% y/y entering the period, leaving markets focused on incoming inflation prints rather than fresh data releases.

The Day Ahead

Fed Governor Waller speaks at 8:30 ET followed by the monthly budget statement at 10:00 ET, both carrying medium market impact. Tuesday brings the highest-density calendar with ADP employment, core CPI m/m and y/y, headline CPI and the full Consumer Price Index release all at 4:30 ET. Fed Chair Warsh testifies at 6:00 ET, Governor Barr speaks at 8:40 ET, President Goolsbee at 9:00 ET and Governor Cook at 9:30 ET.

Markets will parse the inflation prints against the 3.8% consensus to recalibrate rate-cut probabilities around the current 3.62% policy rate. The combination of data and senior Fed voices will drive 2-year and 10-year yield adjustments.

Other Economic Notes

The 4.20% unemployment rate continues to anchor labor-market assessments while the 4.17% CPI reading sets the baseline for tomorrow’s release. Treasury markets have priced limited near-term policy shifts given the 3.62% funds rate, with attention turning to whether core inflation moderates in line with the 0.2% consensus. Equity breadth remains narrow as large-cap indices outperform small caps, reflecting sector-specific AI and technology flows rather than broad macro improvement.

Fiscal data from the budget statement may highlight deficit trajectories that interact with the 4.54% 10-year yield level.

Global Macro News

Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz and subsequent US statements kept energy markets volatile, supporting the 3.47% WTI gain. EU dilution of its 21st Russia sanctions package eased immediate oil-cap pressure but left supply risks intact. China’s export beat and UAE record crude output added to global supply signals that could influence US inflation outcomes.

India’s expansion of strategic petroleum reserves signals continued demand-side support for energy prices. Paramount-Warner Bros. merger scrutiny by state attorneys general introduces regulatory uncertainty that may weigh on deal-related capital flows into US markets.

Broader dollar crosses showed modest EUR/USD strength at 1.14 amid these cross-currents.

Fed Watch

With the policy rate steady at 3.62%, attention centers on how tomorrow’s CPI release aligns with the 4.17% y/y starting point and 3.8% consensus. Waller’s morning remarks and the afternoon budget statement set the stage before Tuesday’s cluster of Warsh testimony, Goolsbee and Cook speeches. Markets will scrutinize any forward guidance on the balance-sheet path and the persistence of the 4.20% unemployment rate in the committee’s reaction function.

The 2-year yield at 4.16% already embeds expectations of gradual easing, yet any hotter-than-expected core print could push terminal-rate views higher. Warsh’s testimony carries particular weight given his public emphasis on structural reform and AI productivity effects. Overall, the week’s communications will test whether the committee maintains its data-dependent stance without committing to near-term adjustments.
