On Friday, the market woke as much as nice information. Mission achieved on inflation.
Yahoo Finance reported: “The Fed’s most well-liked inflation measure — a ‘core’ Private Consumption Expenditures index that excludes risky meals and power costs — clocked in at 2.9% for the month of December, beating estimates.” Moreover, the core PCE inflation price 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 power.
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 hearth.”
Oil traded over $78 a barrel. The value cleared the 200-daily transferring common and confirmed an accumulation part. Ought to oil stay above $78, the subsequent stage to look at is $80. Over $80, an emotional journey to $100 is just not out of the query. Extra importantly, that might set off an even bigger transfer in gold and silver.
After all, the Fed can not dot plot struggle and geopolitical stress… however should not they?
Keep 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 below 2% in 1976-1977, then turned proper again round and screamed. Oil had lots to do with that.
Right here we’re. CPI is just not 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 shall be caught.
As for the market that has been relying on price cuts to maintain the equities transferring greater? That may current a more recent and greater fear…
Stagflation.
