US Consumer Price Index - August 2024

EventsTrader commented Sep 11, 2024Agree. 100 bps in cuts by end of year is outlandish. There's no way in current climate. The bullish scenario would be 75 (three 25s). Base case is still a Sep cut of 25 bps.
US Consumer Price Index - August 2024

EventsTrader commented Sep 11, 2024Very mixed. Shelter prices are keeping the core number higher. Gas prices are helping overall CPI come down. I don't think this is enough to continue the 50 bps narrative.
The shelter index rose by 0.5% in August, after a ...US Consumer Price Index - August 2024

EventsTrader commented Sep 6, 2024Williams is speaking and seems like it's a political event. Waller is speaking at 11am. Then, we have CPI next week. If Waller doesn't provide guidance I'd be surprised. And I agree that this is nuts! Basically 50/50! There couldn't be any more ...

EventsTrader commented Sep 6, 2024Enough for a 50? I don't see it. Waller at 11am might shine some light.

EventsTrader commented Sep 6, 2024Very mixed. Worst case scenario for the Fed if they want to cut by 50 bps. Not much slowing in the labor market coupled with higher wage inflation.

-
EventsTrader commented Sep 4, 2024I don't think the data will come in soft enough for what the market is pricing in. Market is pricing in >100 bps of cuts through the end of the year. 50 of that in Sept. That's way too much unless things really start to deteriorate, and at a fast ...

EventsTrader commented Sep 4, 2024We'll see. I thought the labor market would've softened a long time ago. Maybe it was and it just hasn't been reflected in the data. We might be singing a different tune if that -818K jobs revision was reflected as lower numbers when they came out. ...

EventsTrader commented Sep 4, 2024Yeah I'm watching that. I'm not sure in what world the Fed is going to deliver a 50 bps cut. Outside of a disastrous NFP I think that's going to have to come back to Earth. I'd expect Waller on Friday to maybe deliver the final guidance before the ...

EventsTrader commented Aug 21, 2024
The expectation that the Fed will cut rates by 50 bps in Sept is not rooted in reality. It would take a new trigger that we haven't seen yet. The -818K revision wasn't it either. I think Powell on Friday is going to shed some light on what ...New data shows US job growth has been far weaker than initially reported
-
EventsTrader commented Aug 21, 2024This data should have tanked the USD. There's too many rate cuts baked into the market. As we saw last week, given a trigger we'll see large moves in the USD (to the upside). Absent of these triggers it the USD is in sell-mode. We have the Fed ...

EventsTrader commented Aug 15, 2024Sept rate cut. Markets were pricing in a 50 basis point cut. That likely won't happen. That needs to unwind. Markets are finally doing it, resulting in USD strength. 25 bps rate cut in Sept is the consensus right now and markets are only 75% priced ...

EventsTrader commented Aug 15, 2024Markets are pricing out a 50 bps Sept rate cut. 25 bps is still the base line or at least consensus for Sept. There's some pricing out that still needs to happen, which should result in more USD strength.
