BS Summary: This article contains 9 faulty reasoning types, including Biased Writer Voice, Recency Bias, and Pessimism Bias, with Negativity Bias as the most egregious example at 77.4% saturation with 89 hits. Analysis detected 400 faulty-reasoning hits from 115 analyzed words, generating a BS Score of 72.6% and a BS Rank of 86% (3,808 of 25,466 articles). This article is worse (more manipulative) than 85.10% of the article peer group.
Tl;dr: July was defined by the sharp re-escalation of the US-Iran conflict and renewed disruption risks in the Strait of Hormuz.
This drove extreme oil volatility, lifted inflation expectations and bond yields, and pressured equity markets - particularly tech/momo - as central banks held rates steady while raising uncertainty on the path forward.
Despite a hopeful bounce to end the month (was Leopold the only one 4x levered balls-deep?), it was a bloodbath for most assets...
Nasdaq's worst July in 22 years, bonds' biggest July yield-spike since 2005... oil's biggest July jump in over 30 years.
