News-Driven Stocks, Bonds and Oil (E246)
Episode 246
Friday, 16 January, 2026

DoubleLine Portfolio Manager Eric Dhall and Analyst Mark Kimbrough survey the market week ended Jan. 16. They observe dispersion among stock-market sectors (0:50), with Real Estate climbing on President Trump pressuring the Government Sponsored Enterprises to buy more mortgage securities in an effort to lower mortgage rates. A mixed bag also prevailed in fixed income (5:00), with Treasury yields in the belly of the curve moving out 5-6 basis points while non-traditional credit sectors still provided positive returns. Commodities (6:52) tacked on gains as crude oil responded to risks of U.S. military strikes and Iranian threats of retaliation. Interestingly, both the dollar (8:46) and gold were up on the week and year-to-date. In the week’s macro news (10:26), the December consumer price index, notes Mark Kimbrough, offered “some clues that core good inflation is moderating.” For the Jan. 19-23 week, topping the billboard will be the November print of the PCE Index, the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation indicator.
