Thoughtful Money with Adam Taggart · Tuesday, August 4, 2026
Adam Taggart notes that July was a difficult month for markets, with the Nasdaq experiencing its worst July in 22 years. Bonds saw their biggest July yield spikes since 2005, and oil prices increased the most in over 30 years for the month of July. Taggart questions whether this is a temporary market correction or a sign of a broader trend.

“Um, here's some stats about it. Uh, it was Nasdaq's worst July in 22 years.”
“Bonds had their biggest July yield spikes since 2005, and oil had the biggest July price increase in over 30 years.”
