Mott Capital Management

The S&P 500 is currently stalling near its 10-day exponential moving average during July options expiration, with implied correlations hitting seasonal lows ahead of earnings, signaling potential volatility ahead. Additionally, liquidity pressures from a rebuilding Treasury General Account (TGA) and historically low realized volatility suggest increasing risks of a market pullback.

📉 Global currencies are moving in one direction, U.S. stocks in another. Who’s right?
In today’s video, I break down the major divergence between the equity markets and global currencies like the Taiwan dollar, Korean won, and Swiss franc. While the S&P 500 pushes to new highs, the U.S. dollar is weakening almost everywhere. What are currency markets pricing in that equity investors are ignoring—especially with the July 9 tariff deadline approaching?

💡 We’ll cover:
• The Taiwan dollar’s sharp moves since April
• Why repatriation flows might signal something deeper
• What the euro, yen, and peso are saying about U.S. risk
• How interest rate differentials are breaking down
• Why the currency market may be smarter than the stock market right now

👀 If you follow markets beyond the headlines, this is a divergence you don’t want to miss.

Meanwhile, credit spreads in the U.S. and Japan are rising, signaling caution and hinting stocks might have moved too far, too fast. Watch closely as quarter-end rebalancing may drive volatility even higher.
