On Thursday, August 17th, I sat down with Maggie Lake and Real Vision. During the 36-minute interview, the overriding theme continues to be one of "Stagflation".

Here are the main points:

1. Rates: We don't really know yet the impact of the rapid rate rise.
2. Inflation: Wave 3 is here. Wages are a part of that. Next wave would be more based on some level of devastation.
3. Risks lurking underneath the market: How we look at risk on/off factors.
4. Gold prices vs. Long Bonds and SPY: Will that flip to risk-off?
5. July 6-month calendar ranges: What is holding, below and above. (Hint: IWM chart above.)
6. The Dollar: how much of an impact?
7. Where are commodities now and where they might go? (Hint: Gold chart below.)
8. Picks and pans: Where we are focused.
9. China: How long until bad news becomes good news?
