Author: David R. Kotok, Post Date: November 15, 2018
Market-Commentary-Cumberland-Advisors-Trade-War-Worsens

The United States seems to be losing the ill-conceived Trump-Navarro trade war. The evidence of this loss continues to mount. Here is an important Bloomberg catalog of specific facts and items and actions. (Note that this is not “fake news.”) “These Products Show How Hard It’ll Be to Beat China in Trade War,” https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-11-11/trump-s-china-cold-war-yields-hard-look-at-global-supply-chains. Meanwhile, […]

California, Land of Natural Disasters?

Market Commentary - Cumberland Advisors - California, Land of Natural Disasters

Last week we conducted a review of our California municipal bond holdings along the San Andreas Fault looking for holdings that may be more susceptible to credit deterioration in the event of a disaster.

Midterm Elections – The Quick Muni Note

Author: John R. Mousseau, CFA, Post Date: November 7, 2018
Market Commentary - Cumberland Advisors - Midterm Elections – The Quick Muni Note

Here’s our first take after the midterm elections. The polls actually got it right, with the Democrats taking the House of Representatives and the Republicans enjoying a slight pickup in the Senate. Divided government, with different parties in control of the House and Senate, has sometimes led to gridlock.  It also tends to keep spurious […]

Deficit, Fed, Post-Midterms

Market Commentary - Cumberland Advisors - Deficit, Fed, Post-Midterms

For the next few years, the increased debt financing of the United States will not be a problem for markets. That will remain the case as long as the US dollar is the unchallenged world reserve currency, as it has been for decades. When you survey the world and look at other countries’ economic systems and current situations, the US emerges as the best or, if you are a hand-wringing detractor, the least troubled.

Author: Robert Eisenbeis, Ph.D., Post Date: November 2, 2018
Federal Reserve - FOMC

The November FOMC meeting is scheduled for November 7 & 8, one day after the November 6 midterm election. We are not looking, then, at the possibility of any further FOMC action on interest rates that might influence the election one way or another, but what about after the election? Is the FOMC likely to […]

Italy Update: Still a Concern for Investors

Author: William Witherell, Ph.D., Post Date: October 31, 2018
Cumberland Advisors Market Commentary - Bill Witherell, Ph.D.

The Italian drama continues, with the European bond markets demonstrating great resilience despite the risks presented by the Italian government’s proposed fiscal policy stance, which has been rejected by the European Commission (EC). Earlier, after receiving Italy’s draft budget, the EC had asked Italy to explain why the government decided not to comply with European […]
