Agreed. Giving fuel to this correction/USD comeback.

No. I think this move is the aftermath of NFP. Overreaction, and now coming back down to earth. If it were flight to safety, the stock market would be coming down more than it is right now.

Very weak report with persistent price pressures. Business Activity Index, at 50.9%, indicates that services sector activity is still expanding, albeit at a slower pace. This suggests that while growth has decelerated, the ...

On the weaker side. I'd expect the market to bring up rate cut expectations a little earlier than previously thought. Only one report though. Notable gains occurred in health care, social assistance, and transportation and ...

I see a report a little weaker than the market interpreted. 8.49 million job openings, a slight decrease compared to February 2024. This level indicates a relatively strong labor demand but shows a ...

I wouldn't say we're experiencing a wage spiral. The thing the Fed is most afraid of. But it doesn't look like the Fed can't bring down inflation further (from the levels we're at), at least anytime soon. There's no justification for the rate cut ...

Hot Compensation costs increasing across all categories. The real increases, although smaller due to inflation adjustments, indicate that wage growth is slightly outpacing inflation, particularly for state and local ...

Hot report. Rounded to 0.3%, Core PCE actually came out a little higher at 0.317%. Compounded that would be 3.87% y/y. Personal income saw an increase of $122.0 billion or 0.5%, and ...

Yup. I agree we should see PCE tick up. The forecast (and prior) of 0.3% m/m is too high of a monthly value for the Fed to justify the narrative of inflation coming back down to 2%, at least anytime soon. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a hot ...

Big miss. Growth in Real GDP in Q1 2024 is primarily due to increases in consumer spending, residential fixed investment, nonresidential fixed investment, and state and local government spending ...

Dissent. Coming to a Fed near you. Last Friday, FOMC Gov Bowman said this: It is possible the Fed may have to hike again to cool inflation. Market is currently pricing in a Sept and Dec rate cut. Wishful thinking?
