On Friday, the market woke as much as nice information. Mission completed on inflation.
Yahoo Finance reported: “The Fed’s most well-liked inflation measure — a ‘core’ Private Consumption Expenditures index that excludes risky meals and vitality costs — clocked in at 2.9% for the month of December, beating estimates.” Moreover, the core PCE inflation fee fell to 1.5% on a three-month annualized foundation, its lowest since late 2020. On a six-month foundation, it was 1.9% for the second month in a row. Each of these marks are beneath the Fed’s 2% goal. Nonetheless, the PCE doesn’t embrace meals and vitality.
One other headline that hit the information Friday: “Yemeni Houthis hit with a missile a tanker operated on behalf of commodity buying and selling large Trafigura. The tanker is on fireplace.”
Oil traded over $78 a barrel. The worth cleared the 200-daily shifting common and confirmed an accumulation part. Ought to oil stay above $78, the following stage to observe is $80. Over $80, an emotional journey to $100 will not be out of the query. Extra importantly, that might set off an even bigger transfer in gold and silver.
In fact, the Fed can not dot plot battle and geopolitical stress… however should not they?
Bear in mind this?
If you don’t, that is the chart that overlays CPI from the Nineteen Seventies with CPI from 2014 till the tip of 2023. CPI fell to underneath 2% in 1976-1977, then turned proper again round and screamed. Oil had quite a bit to do with that.
Right here we’re. CPI will not be fairly at 2%, however core PCE is. Ought to oil proceed its run and turn into extra parabolic in nature, then this chart is eerily prescient.
Tremendous cycle of commodities? Not all commodities must run in an excellent cycle, just like the one which started in 1977 till the height in 1980. But when oil and metals take cost, together with sure meals commodities, then the FED will probably be caught.
As for the market that has been relying on fee cuts to maintain the equities shifting increased? That may current a more recent and larger fear…
Stagflation.
