The Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in a little warmer than expected in September, although based on positive bond market reaction, it appears investors may have anticipated a bit worse. Overall CPI rose +0.2% for the third straight month, slightly above the +0.1% median forecast. On an annual basis, CPI was up +2.4%, also slightly above forecast, but down from +2.5% to the lowest level since February 2021. Once again, lower energy prices restrained the headline number, down -1.9% for the month and -6.8% for the year. Within the energy category, gasoline prices fell -4.1% for the month and -15.3% year-over-year. Unfortunately, food prices moved considerably higher, up +0.4%, with the increase attributed entirely to the cost of groceries.

OUR FOUNDATION HilltopSecurities is a unique blend of financial strength, deep industry knowledge, and years of experience. Our firm was born out of the fusion of two respected and successful firms with complementary business lines: First Southwest Company, a broker-dealer founded in 1946 and known for its municipal advisory practice, and Southwest Securities Inc., a full-service broker-dealer since 1972. As part of Hilltop Holdings, a well-capitalized and publicly traded parent company, we’re backed by a strong and diverse financial services enterprise. One that’s focused on moving our clients forward. Nothing better represents this than our iconic buffalo mascot, “Mo,” a symbol of our collective strength, unified force, and the unstoppable momentum of an advancing herd.

Concerns of excessive weakness in the labor market were abruptly shelved this morning after an unexpectedly strong September employment report. The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced +254k workers were added to company payrolls last month, up from the previously reported +142k count in August, while the headline unemployment rate dropped to 4.1%. It’s notable that since “the Sahm Rule” was triggered two months ago, stoking recession fears, the unemployment rate has reversed direction, moving lower in both August and September.

The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) survey of U.S. service managers flashed unexpected strength in September, climbing further into expansion territory (above 50) with the highest composite index measure in 20 months. The solid 54.9 reading, which might have been higher if not for managers expressing election uncertainty, reflected growth in 12 of 17 service industries, up from 10 in August.

Forty-five thousand union workers from 36 major U.S. ports walked off the job today in the first East-to-Gulf port strike since 1977. The International Longshoreman’s Association is seeking higher wages and a rollback on proposed automation. The National Association of Manufacturers estimates the work stoppage could reduce GDP by as much as $5 billion per day. The impact of a prolonged strike has the potential to dramatically slow economic growth, increase prices and meaningfully affect next month’s presidential election.

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, speaking this afternoon at the National Association for Business Economics Annual Meeting in Nashville, struck a more hawkish tone than investors had anticipated, halting the day’s equity rally and driving bond yields higher across the curve. In his (very brief) prepared comments, Powell reiterated points made 12 days ago at the post-FOMC meeting press conference, saying Inflation has eased and the committee has greater confidence it is on a sustainable path to 2%. He went on to say, “If the economy evolves broadly as expected, policy will move over time toward a more neutral stance. But we are not on any preset course.” Read our latest economic commentary by Senior Portfolio Manager Scott McIntyre, CFA here: https://lnkd.in/g-KfqhDg
