Stagflation or a "Run Hot" Economy?

The Next 90 Days Will Shape Positioning Into Year-End.
Between now and Labor Day, incoming data should provide a clearer answer to one question that will influence market performance into the second half of the year: Are we moving toward stagflation or a still-resilient, inflationary expansion? That distinction has direct implications for positioning and risk.
Today's Alpha webinar is built to help you evaluate that shift as it develops and connect it to portfolio decisions.

Market Context
The Setup
The S&P 500 has produced solid gains so far this year. Growth has remained relatively resilient, and market expectations are leaning toward a continued "run hot" environment. At the same time, several variables are evolving.
The inflation impulse tied to the Iran conflict, along with potential supply chain disruptions, is likely to become more visible in the data over the coming months. How that data develops — particularly the interaction between growth and inflation — will influence asset performance across equities, bonds, and commodities.
If Inflation Stays Elevated While Growth Slows
Both stocks and bonds could face pressure. Stagflation risk rises and diversification may become less effective.
If Growth Holds While Inflation Stays Firm
Certain cyclical and real asset exposures may continue to perform well. Selective risk-taking may be supported.

The challenge is identifying which environment is taking shape early enough to adjust positioning.
Today's Session
What You'll Get in Today's Alpha Webinar
In this session, we introduce a "Stagflation vs. Run Hot Summer Scorecard" — a framework designed to track key data points over the next three months and interpret what they imply for markets.
Growth Reports
Identify the economic reports between now and Labor Day that are most relevant for assessing growth trajectory.
Inflation Data
Break down the inflation data that tends to matter beyond headline CPI and Core PCE.
Key Thresholds
Outline the levels and thresholds that would suggest a shift toward stagflation or continued expansion.
Live Scorecard Use
Demonstrate how to use this scorecard as new data is released throughout the summer months.

The focus is on creating a structured way to monitor conditions and translate macro developments into positioning decisions.
Why It Matters
Why This Matters Now
Markets currently reflect an expectation of continued resilience. That creates a situation where outcomes may not be evenly balanced.
If Growth Remains Firm
Positioning can stay constructive and selective risk-taking may be supported. Current market expectations are validated.
If Growth Weakens
While inflation remains elevated, downside risks could increase and diversification may become less effective than expected.
Timing Is Critical
Once a shift is widely recognized, a significant portion of the market move may already be underway.
This webinar is designed to help you evaluate that transition as it unfolds — not after the fact.
