Summary
Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/4bvLEBZ
In the Monday Dividend Cafe, the host recaps a post–three-day weekend market rally with the Dow closing above 53,000 for the first time, the S&P 500 up 0.72%, and the Nasdaq up over 1%, while the 10-year Treasury remained around 4.47%. He notes TIP spreads show reduced inflation expectations even as longer yields imply stronger real growth, arguing the market can’t simultaneously justify Fed hikes on rising inflation expectations and claim the market is wrong as expectations fall; he also discusses futures pricing that still implies mostly one hike. He highlights market weakness as rotational rather than systemic, with communication services and tech leading and defensives lagging. Economic discussion includes disappointing June job growth and downward revisions alongside a lower unemployment rate driven by falling participation. He flags Florida housing supply, price cuts, and loss-making sales as signs prices were too high, contrasts with prolonged China home-price declines, and reviews steady oil, strong year-to-date midstream performance, and upcoming client reporting and geopolitical headlines.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dividing Cafe, weekly market commentary focused on dividends in your portfolio |
| 0:07.0 | and dividends in your understanding of economic life. |
| 0:10.0 | Well, and welcome to the Monday edition of Dividing Cafe. |
| 0:16.0 | We are really officially into the second half of the year now, and we have our normal around the horn to cover today. |
| 0:24.8 | I'll first start by saying that if you have not yet seen Friday's Dividendon Cafe, I recommend |
| 0:31.2 | you do so. |
| 0:32.2 | I really want you to get a full perspective on what has happened in the first half of the year, |
| 0:37.4 | what it bodes for the first half of the year, what it bodes |
| 0:38.5 | for the second half of 2026, where I think the market mentality is and what some of the major |
| 0:45.5 | issues are in the markets, and what that means for the various themes that we are acting upon |
| 0:52.1 | and considering as well. So the dividend cafe from Friday available |
| 0:57.2 | for all of those purposes. In terms of today's action and markets, obviously we're coming |
| 1:02.9 | off of the three-day weekend, markets were closed on Friday. And what you saw today was a Dow that opened 125 points. It kind of gave up that |
| 1:14.4 | bead within the first 30, 45 minutes. And then it just spent the rest of the day kind of slowly |
| 1:19.5 | but surely earning that back. The S&P at NASDAQ also opened up and never did give up their |
| 1:26.1 | gains and closed up 72 basis points for the S&P 500. |
| 1:32.2 | And the NASDAQ closed up over 1%. |
| 1:35.3 | The Dow was up 156 points of the close, which was 30 basis points. |
| 1:40.9 | It did close at all-time high, first time closing over 53,000 on the Dow. |
| 1:46.5 | I want to say, oh, the Fed needs to raise rates because of the inflation pressures that are |
| 1:54.5 | there. One argument against that is that the 10-year is still sitting at around 4.47 percent. |
| 2:05.6 | And so it's been there in that higher level, around four and a half. And a lot of that was connected to higher inflation expectations when oil prices were going higher in the midst of the straight-of-form |
