"... With the “reflation” trade under siege since peaking in early June, a -0.2% year-over-year Producer Price report for JUL (vs. +0.3% y/y in JUN) gave the market what it loves most when it can’t beat 1% GDP growth – Down Dollar, Down Rates:

 

  1. US Dollar Index ended the week down -0.5%
  2. US 10yr Yield fell 8 basis points on the week to 1.51%
  3. CRB Index and Oil reflated +0.5% and +6.4% on the week, respectively"
