  • Inflation and the US election: What they mean for the US dollar

    The US dollar (DX-Y.NYB) is digesting Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's latest comments on inflation at the European Central Bank's (ECB) Forum on Central Banking, as well as the rise in job openings from May. TD Bank Global Head of FX and EM Strategy Mark McCormick sits down with Madison Mills on Catalysts to talk about the Fed's data-centric approach to its interest rate policies going forward. "And inflation from month to month is going to be very challenging and very volatile indicator. So the way that we keep looking at it is there's no room for error," McCormick tells Yahoo Finance. "So next week's inflation number, if it comes in hot this whole narrative is gone. If it comes in as expected, then we get another inflation print where it's like 'yes, they can still probably go in September.' But again, if it comes in hot, it's like everything is binary now. So the market, it lacks confidence, it lacks motivation in terms of how to trade these themes. McCormick also weighs in on the ways a second Trump presidency or policies like heightened tariffs could impact the US dollar. In the broader FX (foreign exchange) market, McCormick also comments on the influence France's snap election is having on the euro.

  • How to rebalance your portfolio for the second half of 2024

    As Wall Street heads into the second half of the year, Mitlin Financial founder and author of "Financial Planning Made Personal" Lawrence Sprung joins Wealth! to discuss the markets' (^DJI,^GSPC, ^IXIC) momentum and how it should inform your investing decisions. While past performance does not determine future performance, Sprung notes that historically, when there has been a strong first half, the momentum continued for the rest of the year. He believes the election will be a catalyst as it typically enhances market returns in an already strong year. He also explains that a possible interest rate cut could be another catalyst that drives higher returns. He encourages investors to review their portfolios mid-year and rebalance if necessary. Financials have been performing well in a higher interest rate environment and could tumble once a rate cut is initiated. Meanwhile, the energy sector will be sensitive to geopolitical events, which Sprung explains, "We can't time, but we can try to anticipate."
