The #inflation reading this morning is the first good data point for the Fed this year, restarting the clock on its goal of easing rates. This report comes on the heels of first-quarter numbers that threw a wrench in the Fed's plans to ease rates early in 2024. We’re likely to see better progress on the goods side of the ledger, especially given the weak report on nominal consumer sales of 0.0%, indicating real sales are negative. Rates at present level are slowing the economy, as reflected by falling real employee earnings and the latest Empire State Manufacturing Survey, which fell to -15.6. Faster progress toward the Fed’s goals continues to be impeded by the services sector of the economy. #litrendingtopics #cpi #Fed

All eyes are on the Federal Reserve this week as expectations for a September interest rate cut gain momentum. With annual inflation hitting its lowest level in three years—2.9% in July—the U.S. economy is showing signs of cooling, from its 2022 peak of 9.1%, we have now witnessed the slowest growth in 3 years. According to the Commerce Department, retail sales also saw a strong rebound in July, jumping 1% after a slight dip in June. As inflation eases, could a rate cut be on the horizon? #Economy #FederalReserve #Inflation #RetailSales #InterestRates

U.S. data in the coming week, including #inflation and retail sales, will be closely watched given heightened speculation that the Federal Reserve (#FED) could need to cut #interest rates by much more than previously expected. Weak U.S. #jobs data at the start of August caused panic moves on financial markets recently, including sharp falls in #U.S. Treasury yields and, in the dollar, amid growing recession fears. In the upcoming July #CPI data, #BofA projects small gains in both headline and core CPI, partially reversing June's surprise decline in inflation. This could have an impact on the Fed's decision to cut rates in September.

With the FED meeting this week to discuss the U.S. economy and monetary policy, which set(s) of data will you be most focused on? I am very interested to hear the language used regarding our fight against inflation. After tempering elevated levels, early 2024 data indicates inflation is on the rise again. Powell has been quoted as saying “we should not ignore the data because we do not like what it says” and surrendered to the reality that “inflation has not made the progress we expected” Key performance indicators in the economy, headlined by a strong labor market and retail sales, have many betting that we will not see a decrease in rates until at least 2025. How realistic is it that the FED must raise rates further to hit their inflation target?

Thornburg's Jeff Klingelhofer shares insights in light of CPI data looking better than expected and markets predicting a Fed cut in September: ➢ Whether in September or November, the number of cuts is what truly matters. ➢ One or two token cuts won’t change much; rates remain high and negatively impactful to growth. ➢ Significant cuts require clear signs of inflation at 2% or lower, potentially indicating a recession. ➢ Despite market optimism, deteriorating data is a concern—stay cautious. ➢ Strong retail sales suggest the Fed will have less confidence in downward inflation trajectory. ➢ The Fed aims for non-problematic inflation, not necessarily 2%. ➢ Expect tougher winning inflation prints soon.
