The interview was released on Wolfgang Klein\u2019s weekly show on Corus radio on Sunday. Following are notes for the interview<\/p>\n<p>U.S. and Canadian equity markets currently are in the summer rally period:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The period usually starts in the last week in June and ends on the last day of July<\/li>\n<li>July is the third strongest month in the year for the S&amp;P 500 and TSX Composite<\/li>\n<li>Strength is related to anticipation of strong second quarter revenue and earnings reports following the traditional economic recovery in Spring.<\/li>\n<li>What about this year? Second quarter results by major Canadian and U.S. companies are a concern this year. Reports start to trickle in next week. Earnings on a year-over-year basis have been dropping. Consensus for second quarter earnings by S&amp;P 500 companies calls for a year-over-year drop of 7.2%.<\/li>\n<li>Surprisingly, initial quarterly reports likely could be greeted favourably by equity markets. Focus next week is on reports by the largest U.S. Banks including Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Bank of New York Mellon. Their recent passage of liquidity tests administered by the Federal Reserve once again will allow them to resume share buybacks and dividend increases. Technical action by the group last week indicates anticipation of good news when their second quarter results are released. The ETF holding these securities, S&amp;P Bank SPDRs (Symbol: KBE) completed a classic reverse Head &amp; Shoulders pattern last Wednesday.<\/li>\n<li>Thereafter, the report season could be uncertain for equity prices. Notable will be responses to reports released by the \u201cMagnificent Seven\u201d (i.e. Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Netflix, Tesla, Amazon and Facebook). They represent a 28% weight in the S&amp;P 500 Index. All have recorded exceptional share price gains since the beginning of the year. Technically, they are Overbought and vulnerable to a short term correction into this fall.<\/li>\n<li>Investors also are cautious about impact of central bank efforts to lower inflation expectations. The Bank of Canada raised its rate for major banks by 0.25% to 5.00% on Wednesday. The Federal Reserve is expected to increase its Fed Fund Rate at its next meeting on July 26<sup>th<\/sup> by another 0.25% and possibly by 0.50%.<\/li>\n<li>The earnings picture for North American companies is not all bad. Consensus calls for a recovery in earnings by S&amp;P 500 companies on a year-over-year basis from a 7.2% drop in the second quarter to break even in the third quarter to a gain of 12.4% in the fourth quarter. Moreover, analysts are calling for another 12.4% increase in earnings in 2024.<\/li>\n<li>Technical measures of market sentiment show that U.S. and Canadian equity markets currently are overbought. CNN has developed a Fear and Greed Index for the S&amp;P 500 ranging from 0 for maximum fear and 100 for maximum greed. Currently the index is at 79, indicating Extreme Greed.<\/li>\n<li>Preferred strategy for investors given current equity market conditions is to be patient. Enjoy your summer holiday despite chances for small losses in Canadian and U.S. equity prices. Look for opportunities to buy favoured equities and Exchange Traded Funds on weakness between now and October when seasonal influences once again become positive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#160;<\/p>\n<p><font size=\"5\"><strong>Links offered by valued providers<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong><font size=\"5\"><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Emerging Market Bond Fund ETFs Look Good JULY 14, 2023 <strong><em><font size=\"2\">Greg Schnell<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stockcharts.com\/articles\/canada\/2023\/07\/emerging-market-bond-fund-etfs-839.html\">Emerging Market Bond Fund ETFs Look Good | The Canadian Technician | StockCharts.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#160;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><font size=\"2\">Michael Campbell\u2019s<\/font><\/em><\/strong> Money Talks for July15th <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mikesmoneytalks.ca\/category\/mikes-content\/complete-show\/?mc_cid=05b6c95885&amp;mc_eid=592546b4b5\">Michael Campbell\u2019s MoneyTalks \u2013 Complete Show (mikesmoneytalks.ca)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#160;<\/p>\n<p>Earnings Season in Full Swing: What You Can Expect JULY 14, 2023<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><font size=\"2\">Jayanthi Gopalakrishnan<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stockcharts.com\/articles\/chartwatchers\/2023\/07\/earnings-season-in-full-swing-459.html?mc_cid=19d23fd890&amp;mc_eid=8f8943347e\">Earnings Season in Full Swing: What You Can Expect | ChartWatchers | StockCharts.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#160;<\/p>\n<p>Technology Long-Term Double-Top?
