🇺🇸 It’s July PPI Day.

The Producer Price Index for final demand strengthened 0.9% (3.3% y/y) during July after unrevised stability in June and a 0.4% May increase, revised from 0.3%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). It was the largest increase since June 2022. The Action Economic Forecast Survey expected a 0.2% increase in July.

I’m skeptical of a few of these. And Ukraine is drastically understated; they get 50-80% of their national income from abroad.

🇮🇹 This is another chart worth keeping an eye on as Germany insists on committing suicide.

After hitting a high of 558bp during the 2011 Sovereign Debt Crisis in Europe, the spread between German & Italian 10-year debt settled into a range between 1 & 3 percent.

It has now broken through the 2015 low in said range and sits at 74bp. Is Italy the new European safe haven?

🇺🇸 This is a more granular view of yesterday’s Producer Price Index numbers (left) and, since the increase was almost entirely in services, a more granular view of those as well (right).

In the second breakdown, you can see 0.6% of the increase in services is related to trade. This is from U.S. importers taking their tariff hit.

Up top, we have PPI MoM surprises (divergences from consensus forecasts) by standard deviations. July’s reading was 8σ off. That’s the largest since February 2021, and probably suggests there are some errors in the BLS’ assumptions (I know, no way!).

🇺🇸 The Biotechnology ETF is up 35.5% since its low just after Liberation Day (same day, April 9th) and a golden cross on the daily seems imminent here as well.

However, unlike $XHB in the last post, the average volume of late in $XBI is lower than the 2nd quarter volume. It’s still plateauing higher than it has in over a year, though.
