Aguilar: Opportunities in High-Quality Corporate Credit, Avoid Junk Bonds

Charles Schwab’s Omar Aguilar reacts to the first read of 2Q GDP and analyzes the American economy. Looking at earnings, he expects profit margins to squeeze because of trade deals, driving volatility. Inflation expectations could drive bonds up, he warns as well. He previews the FOMC meeting and Fed Chair Powell’s comments, saying economic data and a “stable” labor market mean no cut this month. He sees opportunities in high-quality corporate bonds and pushes investors away from riskier junk-rated bonds. “International investing is always a good opportunity,” Omar adds.
