Disastrous Inflation Report. No Rate Cuts until Election [Trump vs Biden].
FULL TRANSCRIPT
well Donald Trump should be very very
happy because rate cuts are now fully
priced in instead of for this summer or
as early as September in November but
those rate cuts that rate cut meeting
comes just a day after the election so
that means there is a chance we will get
zero rate Cuts until the election is
over a big win for Donald Trump
especially since even as Nick T men in
his Wall Street Journal piece this
morning on CPI Americans have had it
with inflation and unfortunately the CPI
report today which was supposed to give
us Direction was January February just a
bump on the road or was it a trend of
inflation resurging well the numbers
came in hot as outlined over on ec.com
to make it easy for you remember every
time you go to pooper check on ec.com
what do you got CPI month over Monon
you've got a point4 every item comes in
point one hot you can see that on screen
here core month over month year-over
year year-over-year core everything
comes in. 1% overe
expectations uh Market's looking at just
1.9 rate Cuts this year maybe 2.26 by
January the super core trend is not
great the super core trend is the
biggest problem that we have right now
the last time we had a rise in supercore
was really when the Federal Reserve
started freaking out you'll see right
here in about September mber July July
August September we bottomed out in
super core in 2021 unfortunately we
skyrocketed until the FED lifted off on
interest rate uh uh increases lift off
uh in March of 2022 and we are now
trending towards the longest uptrend in
the super core now super core is exactly
what we pay attention to every single
time we get a CPI report the first thing
we do is we jump in over here and we go
what's going on on with Services Pet
Services up 1.9 we warned that we wanted
to pay attention to insurances pets
Financial Services healthc care all of
them hot motor vehicle repair 31 this is
month over month so when you annualize a
31 you're talking 36% inflation you just
multiply it by 12 don't use exponents
when you annualize 3.1% on motor vehicle
repair Insurance 2.6 Mo uh motor vehicle
maintenance and repair 7 uh you've got
health insurance up one2 hospital and
related up one2 medical care services up
6 household operations up8 Pet Services
up 1 n postage delivery 04 other
personal services8 not great all of
these hot that's super core Rising uh
since we did touch on medical I want to
give you a quick little heads up by the
way uh summer baby summer uh I'm already
starting to talk to a discharge nurse so
we could be within 2 weeks knock going
would knock on wood or three surgeries
are done and she is recovering so yes uh
but anyway baby summer hopefully be home
soon so all seven babies will be home uh
but anyway going to the Super core chart
this chart over here on the right is
rough uh this is a rough rough rough
chart the chart is going in the wrong
direction and so now you have to look at
the implications the implications are a
clearly policy isn't restrictive enough
clearly the Federal Reserve thinking
that 55% rates is restrictive in not
it's not restrictive how could it be
deemed restrictive if supercor is
skyrocketing the way we see super core
here uh it's crazy uh then this also
raises the estimates of the neutral rate
which reduces where we might end up
going with interest rate Cuts in the
long term the idea that we're going to
go back to 0% rates is is basically
killed by reports like this where
inflation is continuing to resurge in
the face of H of a very high policy
rates and the econom is still chugging
along we don't have jobs weakness if
anything we have jobs strength yes some
of that is affected by immigration
obviously but the jobs Market is broadly
expanding there is a renewed risk of a
wage price spiral especially since we
think the ECI reports are going to come
in hot in part due to California still
raising minimum wages during a time
we're trying to get inflation to
stabilize now I'm not here to say people
shouldn't earn more money I do think
people should earn more money but I am
also concerned that if from an economic
data point of view we start getting
signs of a wage price spiral the Federal
Reserve will be forced to drive us into
a recession again this is actually what
we're getting right now is good for
Trump in the short term because not
getting Cuts until November means the
Federal Reserve is kind of going to look
like they're behaving politically the
moment Trump potentially or the new
president gets elected that's when
you're going to get rate Cuts whoever
obviously ends up winning of course
delaying that until then is going to
look very political uh but you know the
data is also driving them in that
direction the problem though is if you
stay at those higher levels for too long
you do increase the chance of a
recession a recession could end up on
the next president's plate so whoever it
is whether it's Biden uh or or Trump or
whatever it is very possible that with
rates having to stay this high and super
core moving up like this and a potential
lead into a wage price spiral the
Federal Reserve is going to have no
choice but to drive a recession uh to
actually finish the job on inflation and
the Federal Reserve will do that if
necessary obviously this is not good for
your interest rate sensitive stocks
yesterday we anticipated that the most
volatile mover would be Sun Run followed
of course by the other interest rate
sensitives we thought there was maybe
some hope for artif icial intelligence
but at least this morning there's really
hope for basically nothing the only
thing there's hope for is the volatility
index Alibaba and United Airlines uh
other than that you've got sun run down
7% open doors down about 7% wfirs down
five end phase down five you've got uh
uh uh the tqq down 3.9 that's because
obviously your index is down about 1.3%
right now arkade down 3% Cheesecake
Factory down
uh you've got Tesla over here is
actually only down about 1.8 uh is
NVIDIA is down about 2% Nvidia now in
correction territory along with um AMD
and uh you really want to watch on
Nvidia that 850 line we are below that
850 line right now and that's a big deal
for NVIDIA uh getting below 850 it is a
support level breaking could bring us
back to 731 uh for some violence uh arm
for example down 2.5% on the day uh
though that's also been sort of a
volatile up and Downer uh we'll see what
happens though but with markets but
right now you've got the bond market
looking at a
4.48% 10year yield you also have
inflation break evens moving up the
5-year inflation Break Even is sitting
at
2.55% and the trend of the inflation
Break Even chart is not good keep in
mind that Jerome Powell consistently
says that inflation expectations remain
well anchored this is in the face of
inflation expectations just one measure
of inflation expectations moving up
rapidly you can see on screen here we've
been straight up since December Jerome
Powell is not changed his tune at all
and the question now is what is he going
to do and what is the market going to
react with when JP really uh ends up uh
uh you know uh going oh no oopsy doopsy
whoopsies we screwed up when we get that
commentary from Powell how markets will
reply will be very uh uh obvious uh uh
will be very interesting uh obviously
we're expecting to get Fede this week we
will get minutes today at 11:00 a.m.
though I'm not sure how useful the
minutes will be given that we just got a
third month of um hot dat out so if you
get minutes that say Hey you know two
months could just be a little bit of a
bump on the road unless we get some kind
of hedging bets like hey if we get three
in a row that would be bad then these
minutes might not be very useful today
we're really going to be looking for is
that fed speak coming Bowman today we'll
have other speakers going forward the
rest of the week like Walker will be
speaking towards the end of the week so
we'll cover the FED speak clearly
rafhael Bostic was uh not informed of
having any kind of sort of preak on
what's going on uh given that Rafael
bosk suggested hey it'd be great if we
hit consensus and uh you know what maybe
you know he he sort of acted bullish
rather and doish suggesting hey
consensus are a little below would be
wonderful news and just accepting
consensus at even where it is somewhat
implied hey maybe he knew what the data
was going to be turns out no maybe only
japal gets the data ahead when he wants
it but uh doesn't look like Bostic had
any kind of clue and so the market and
it's run into the close yesterday wasn't
really led by anything other than
speculation so uh again coming in hotter
than expected here uh also hits our
Trend numbers we'll pull up the trend
numbers here which uh thank you Nick t
for throwing those up but Nick T gave us
the trends and this is the problem the
trend is not our friend when it comes to
inflation here you go on screen now
you've got Nick T everybody loves our
fed Whisperer he gives us the 36-month
and 12-month basis uh and those here say
uh what's going up are the course on
building your wealth from meet Kevin
including all the buy sell alerts uh
trade alerts that we send in the stocks
and psychology of money group we'll have
a price increase within about the next
10 days on those if you want to bundle
up make sure to email us at staff
meetkevin.com you can bundle up with the
event or other courses if you want if
you're an existing member or a new
member or a curious member you have
questions but anyway uh so staff atme
kev.com but anyway look at that core
Consumer Price Index right here you see
that 3 six and 12- month Trend solidly
moving up here this is an issue because
again at five and a half percent rates
it means the Federal Reserve is not
managing to control this inflation
problem so a little oopsy doopsy again
we're not pricing in our full rate cut
until November and we are moving down on
rate cut expectations to uh just one
okay we've just moved down even more
that's uh that's incredible we are now
down at
1.69 I'm going to throw this uh screen
on um uh this chart on screen rather but
I want you to first see yesterday's data
so I got uh yesterday's data I'll show
that on screen first yesterday's data is
right here this is what it looks like in
terms of the market pricing and cuts the
way to read this is these These Bars are
basically number of rate Cuts priced in
and if you hold your mouse right here
for December you'll be able to see we're
pricing in -2 six rate Cuts as of
yesterday
-2.6 so basically 2.6 cuts for yesterday
okay today uh we have now moved that
number down again because we were at 1.9
if I now hover over December I get 1.
692 that's it 1. 692 on rate cuts that
means we're getting to only pricing in
about 1 and a half rate cuts at this
point that might end up moving down on
hawkish talk here to only pricing in one
rate cut for the year uh so big
implications here obviously for the
market broadly for treasuries we'll see
how the market responds as the day
trading moves I really think it's going
to take probably the whole trading day
to kind of figure this out and then
obviously we'll get PPI tomorrow as the
next Catalyst and then we'll get fed spe
coming up PPI for tomorrow month over
Monon is expected to be3 core month
month is expected to be .2 core less
trade is expected to be 0.2 so we'll see
usually those producer price numbers do
come in lower and then at the end of the
week we'll get sentiment University of
Michigan inflation expectations those
are usually uh something that is closely
watched or are closely watched by jpow
so we'll look at those next week we'll
get retail sales building permits uh and
some other um smaller data sets as well
but obviously 3 months now much more
than a bump in the road this is turning
into a trend it's not great let's see
how markets respond though can we get a
market rally here in spite of maybe not
having R Cuts let's find out as we get
ready uh for the trading why not
advertise these things that you told us
here I feel like nobody else knows about
this we'll we'll try a little
advertising and see how it goes
