Housing starts and building permits data for May came in below expectations as mortgage rates continue to remain high. Pulte Capital CEO Bill Pulte and S&P Global Ratings Homebuilders Director Maurice Austin join Morning Brief to discuss the state of the housing market and its relationship to ongoing rate pressures. "I think it's a little bit of a speed bump. The housing market is very strong. It continues to be very strong," Pulte explains. He notes that big home builders — such as PulteGroup (PHM), which his family originally founded — are in a good position as they "have a balance sheet, have access to the mortgage bond market and, frankly, are taking market share right now." As the market awaits an interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve, Pulte adds that a cut will "dramatically increase" the price of homes. With more people being able to afford mortgages, demand could skyrocket, creating an affordability issue. Austin adds, "What we've seen is the level of sales incentives remain elevated, and they will continue to be so as long as rates stay higher for longer, which ultimately could lead to negative profitability on the homebuilder side."

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) has had a breakout year in 2024, rallying off of a long slump on the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) approval of spot bitcoin ETF products. Now, the crypto community is watching intently on the SEC's next pending decision: approving a spot ether ETF tied to ethereum futures (ETH-USD). Swan Bitcoin Chief Investment Officer Raphael Zagury comes onto Market Domination Overtime to discuss the outlook on these prominent cryptocurrencies, also commenting on what the 2024 US presidential race could mean for the crypto space and the likelihood of an ether ETF. "If you look where we are right now in terms of volatility, volatility is fairly low. We're in the 5% I would say bottom decile in volatility times," Zagury says. "And I think the good news, if the past is any guidance of what could happen in the future, is that periods of very low volatility in bitcoin tend to have offside periods of return, if you look 60, 90 days ahead. But short term, a lot of things can happen in the short-term, traders control the price..."

As markets cool following the Nvidia-ld (NVDA) tech rally, CEO and CIO of Laffer Tengler Investments Nancy Tengler joins Market Domination Overtime to offer insights on current market and economic conditions. Tengler is hopeful for a market correction, stating it would "clear out all the rubble" and ultimately benefit markets. She views such corrections as opportunities for long-term investors to find favorable entry points. Drawing parallels to the 1990s, Tengler suggests, "We're not at the 1999 end of the decade; we're in the middle of the decade." Tengler downplays the importance of Federal Reserve policy, noting that even if rates are cut once this year, it's unlikely to impact market dynamics significantly. She cautions against letting mixed Fed communications drive portfolio decisions. For investment strategy, Tengler recommends focusing on "old economy companies" with "long-term secular tailwinds." She cites Walmart (WMT) as an example, highlighting its integration of AI into its legacy business model. "These are companies that have pivoted, and those are the ones we want to own," she advises. However, Tengler expresses concern about the state of the consumer, particularly noting that low- to mid-income consumers "are getting squeezed" in the current economic environment.
