The Fed\u2019s battle against inflation produced somewhat mixed results in October, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) climbing 0.2% month over month (m\/m) and 2.6% year over year (y\/y). Both numbers matched expectations and the m\/m result was unchanged from September; however, the 12-month figure increased from 2.4% in the preceding month. The core version of the indicator, which excludes food and energy due to their volatile characteristics, also matched estimates and was unchanged from September\u2019s m\/m and y\/y gains of 0.3% and 3.3%, respectively. The used cars and trucks category climbed 2.7%, the largest increase among CPI constituents. Cox Automotive reports that the inventory at the start of October, at 2.15 million units, was down from 2.18 million m\/m and fell 4% y\/y. Hurricane Helene is suspected of increasing sales during the second half of September to replace flooded vehicles. Indeed, CARFAX (KMX) reports that as many as 138,000 were damaged during the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other categories with price gains and the amount of the increases were as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Energy services (electricity and heating), 1%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Shelter, 0.4%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Transportation services, 0.4%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Medical care services, 0.4%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Food at dining establishments, 0.2%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Food at markets, 0.1%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Prices for new automobiles were unchanged while apparel and gasoline stickers contracted by 1.5% and 0.9%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trump Trade Gains Steam<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Despite lingering price pressures and trade uncertainty, markets are bullish during this strong seasonal period. The Trump equity baskets are leading this session with the cyclically tilted Russell 2000 and Dow Jones Industrial benchmarks gaining 0.6% and 0.3%. But the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 aren\u2019t catching as much interest, with the former index down 0.3% while the latter is unchanged. Sector breadth is impressively positive with 9 out of 11 segments pointing north on the session and led by real estate, consumer discretionary and industrials; they\u2019re up 1.2%, 0.8% and 0.6%. Technology and communication services are the laggards of the day; they\u2019re lower by 0.2% and 0.1%. We\u2019re witnessing bull-steepening action across the yield curve, with the 2- and 10-year Treasury maturities changing hands at 4.28% and 4.42%, 7 and 1 basis points (bps) lighter today. Softer interest costs aren\u2019t weighing on the dollar, however, which is up a sharp 39 bps on the back of expected stateside economic outperformance. Indeed, Trump\u2019s geopolitical and trade stances are expected to weigh on European activity, with the euro down to a one-year low versus the US currency. Meanwhile, the Dollar Index (DXY) this morning reached its tallest level since early May, as the American tender appreciates versus most of its major contemporaries, including the euro, pound sterling, franc, yen, yuan and Aussie and Canadian counterparts. Commodities are also mostly higher with lumber, crude oil, silver, and gold up 0.8%, 0.7%, 0.1% and 0.1%, while copper is bucking the trend; it\u2019s down 0.8%. WTI crude is trading at $68.43, with its mild recovery being tempered by a weak demand outlook combined with expectations of abundant supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
