WEEKLY MARKET MINUTE Last week we received updates on inflation via the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI). At the Headline level, both series continued to decelerate y/y, with CPI inching lower to 2.4% and PPI slowing to 1.8%. Excluding food and energy, Core CPI and Core PPI accelerated sequentially for the second month in a row to 3.3% and 2.8%, respectively. The recent divergence of Headline and Core inflation growth is worth highlighting given the shifting comparison set for energy in the fourth quarter and what that could mean for rate cut expectations. #weeklymarketminute Author: Joseph Khoury

WEEKLY MARKET MINUTE For the last few quarters, we have highlighted the rising probability that inflation would reverse its downward trend in the fourth quarter, resulting in rate cut expectations being pushed out. On Thursday we will get an update on the Consumer Price Index and while the base effect setup is pointing toward another y/y deceleration, U.S. Treasury yields and the U.S. Dollar Index have been heading higher. Typically, we would expect those market signals to move in the opposite direction if inflation was going to continue slowing. Looking beyond the September print, we will be watching to see if rates and the U.S. Dollar front-run higher inflation prints that could likely lead to a downshift in rate cut expectations and ultimately FOMC policy decisions. #weeklymarketminute Author: Joseph Khoury

WEEKLY MARKET MINUTE Personal income, spending, and savings data revisions were released last week. This update changed the level of income meaningfully, resulting in higher y/y growth rates on a nominal and inflation-adjusted basis. Notably, spending data featured smaller upward revisions than income, leaving the personal saving rate much higher than what had initially been published. #weeklymarketminute Author: Joseph Khoury

WEEKLY MARKET MINUTE With 41 days until the U.S. Presidential election and 43 days until the next FOMC meeting, we are expecting conversations around those outcomes to become a larger focus for investors. To help navigate the noise, we thought it would be helpful to lay out the upcoming economic and earnings calendar. As those dates draw closer, we will remain focused on incoming data. #weeklymarketminute Author: Joseph Khoury

WEEKLY MARKET MINUTE At their September 18th meeting, the FOMC cut its Federal Funds Target Rate by 50 basis points. Looking ahead, the Fed Funds futures market expects an additional 200 basis points of rate cuts by the end of 2025. Over the next few months we will be monitoring Shelter inflation, the price of oil, and other commodities, alongside key market signals like the 5-year breakeven inflation rate to help determine whether the current expectations are more or less likely to come fruition. #weeklymarketminute Author: Joseph Khoury

WEEKLY MARKET MINUTE The initial estimate for total nonfarm payrolls increased by 142,000 in August, up from the previous two months, following downward revisions that brought June down to 118,000 from an initial release of 206,000 and July down to 89,000 from an initial release of 114,000. On a y/y basis, nonfarm payrolls slowed to 1.51% from 1.55% in the prior month, its fifth consecutive month of sequential deceleration, and its third month in a row coming in below the average growth rate from 2015 to 2019. Compared to the 2015-2019 period, the number of jobs remains below trend and the slope of the three-year trend has not been improving as m/m growth over the last four months has weakened. #weeklymarketminute Author: Joseph Khoury

WEEKLY MARKET MINUTE The Euro Area flash estimate for its Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) decelerated to 2.18% y/y in August from 2.58% in the prior month. HICP Overall, excluding Energy, accelerated to 2.75% y/y from 2.72%. The takeaway from those two series is that headline inflation did not get below the ECB target and consumer items outside of energy remain well above target, just as the energy component is more likely to reaccelerate toward the end of Q4 and into Q1. Without a meaningful decline in demand that results in significantly lower energy prices, the ECB will likely be deciding on next steps for its policy rate as Europe moves back into a rising inflation setup. #weeklymarketminute Author: Joseph Khoury
