| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dividend Cafe weekly market commentary focused on dividends in your portfolio and dividends in your understanding of economic life. |
| 0:12.2 | Welcome back to Dividend Cafe this Wednesday, August the 27th. Brian Sightel is with you here today from our Newport Beach, California, |
| 0:20.4 | sunny headquarters here at the office of the Bonson Group. |
| 0:23.6 | We've got a positive day in markets, although I am recording this before the close just by about 60 minutes here, so things might change. |
| 0:31.5 | But as of now and what is likely here through the end of the day, we've got a market that's generally positive and slightly so in bonds. |
| 0:38.0 | The 10 years down, about a basis point here. We're at 424 now on yields. And again, some of this |
| 0:44.7 | steepening yield curve is actually quite positive as far as what it typically indicates for |
| 0:49.9 | the economy and GDP. And I'll get into that in a second. There really wasn't a lot of new economic |
| 0:55.4 | data out. Again, we're looking at that PCE number that's going to come out on Friday, and that's what |

| 1:32.0 | They're really just, what are the signs? What is the market telling us? If you look at what is |
| 1:35.5 | most cyclical, those sectors in the markets, think about things like commodity, materials, |
| 1:40.9 | financials, things really sensitive to the economy, home builders. All of them are moving |
| 1:47.4 | higher here and outperforming the financials, which are a big cyclical sector, are really showing a lot of |
| 1:52.8 | signs of technical strength, both the 50 and 200-day moving averages. All of the stocks in that sector |
| 1:58.1 | are above those things. You've also had when we've had up days in |
