This morning\u2019s in-line CPI report alongside the loftiest level of initial unemployment claims in almost four years is sending equities to the nosebleeds and yields to the basement. Stocks hit fresh all-time highs yet again after the economic data signaled labor market weakness that is bolstering rate cut probabilities into year-end and beyond. Indeed, fixed-income watchers are penciling in approximately 75 bps of reductions by Christmas and another three-quarters before 2026 closes with expectations that the Fed will prioritize the employment side of its dual mandate. But the enthusiasm may be unwarranted, especially since core inflation has accelerated for the third consecutive month amidst the CPI reflecting broad-based increases amongst tariff-sensitive areas, like automobiles and apparel. Still, Wall Street is taking its cue from the Trump administration adamantly seeking lighter costs of capital and the buoyancy is evident by shares advancing across every major sector and sub-component. The Treasury curve is plunging in bull-flattening fashion, meanwhile, led by duration, as slowdown worries permeate the government debt complex. Prices for volatility protection instruments and the greenback are sinking due to weakening hedging demand and cheaper domestic credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consumer Inflation Sped Up Last Month<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Inflation accelerated last month amidst broad-based increases across non-housing services, shelter, goods and commodities. The headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) climbed 0.4% month over month (m\/m) and 2.9% year over year (y\/y), a tenth of a percent hotter than expectations for the former but in line with projections for the latter. The results were much loftier than July\u2019s 0.2% and 2.7%. The core version of the indicator, meanwhile, ascended 0.3% m\/m and 3.1% y\/y, matching both the estimates and the prints from the previous period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Past performance does not guarantee future results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cyclical Sectors Led Price Increases<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
There were only a few spots of relief within the report amidst positive contributions from most areas. Indeed, the gasoline, used automobiles, transportation services and food at markets categories underpinned the accelerating reading, with costs rising 1.9%, 1%, 1% and 0.6% m\/m during the period. Apparel, shelter, food at restaurants, and new cars rose at more modest degrees of 0.5%, 0.4%, 0.3% and 0.3%. Conversely, energy services (electricity and heating) and medical care services experienced deflation of 0.2% and 0.1% m\/m. Shelter is a critical component comprising almost half of the CPI basket and it sprinted to its fastest monthly gain in 12 months. Another troubling trend is that vehicles have aggressively reversed from their declines. But an increasingly constructive consideration is that cost forces are also being driven by cyclically oriented elements dependent on discretionary consumer demand, like airfares and hotels, which advanced rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unemployment Claims Hit Highest Level in Nearly Four Years<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Initial unemployment claims rose to the highest level since October of 2021, signaling employers\u2019 declining labor appetite. But the figures are notoriously volatile especially during a Labor-Day shortened week ended on September 6. Still, the 263k applications were much heavier than the 235k median estimate and the prior period\u2019s 236k. Continuing filings were more tempered, however, arriving at an unchanged 1.939 million throughout the seven-day interval culminating on August 30, which was beneath the 1.950 million expected. Four-week moving averages shifted in bifurcated fashion from 231k and 1.947 million to 241k and 1.946 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Past performance does not guarantee future results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
GFC Job Losses Paved <\/strong>the Way For Inflation Tolerance<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Initial unemployment claims are rarely more of a market driver than the CPI, but today\u2019s 47-month high in weekly layoffs was a heavier influence on Wall Street. The labor side of the Fed\u2019s mandate began to gain increasing significance following the loss of jobs throughout the Great Financial Crisis. It took the US 76 months, from December 2007\u2019s peak to April 2014 to recover from the significant 8.7 million reduction in payrolls. Since then, policymakers have been reluctant to allow joblessness to rise, and that\u2019s part of the reason why investors today are excited about rate cuts despite inflation reflecting a broad acceleration. And a justification as to why price pressures are brewing is a reaccelerating economy, as servicer pricing power has been enhanced by robust consumer demand bolstered by employment conditions that are still solid amidst asset prices that continue their relentless climb. However, goods and shelter caught a tailwind as well, partially because of cheaper borrowing costs expanding activity in the automobile and housing sectors, although tariff forces do remain a risk even though they haven’t made a meaningful impact yet and I don’t envision that they will in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
International Roundup<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
ECB Acknowledges Uncertain Future but Maintains Key Rate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The European Central Bank kept its deposit rate at 2% this morning\u2014its second consecutive month of no change to the benchmark\u2014and reiterated that it has won the battle against inflation and that economic risks have eased. The decision was expected by a consensus of economists and comes as inflation has been only slightly above the organization\u2019s 2% goal. ECB President Christine Lagarde and her policymaker peers offered no guidance on future policy decisions, but she opined that the outlook for price changes is highly uncertain due to volatility in global trade. A potential escalation in trade tensions could cause a further slowdown in exports, investment and consumption. Markets are currently implying that investors believe that ECB will hold its rate steady for the remainder of the current economic cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Japan Wholesale Prices Fall Relative to July<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Wholesale prices in August declined relative to the preceding month but were still up 2.7% y\/y, according to the Corporate Goods Price Index, which is also referred to as the Producer Price Index. Businesses fetched 0.2% less in August m\/m, a worse decline than the 0.1% drop expected by a consensus of economist. In July, the metric was up 0.3%. The gauge was also elevated 2.7% y\/y last month, matching the forecast and accelerating from 2.5% in the preceding period. For the m\/m print, the electric power, gas and water category and the agriculture, forestry and fishery products category group and metal fell 0.22%, 0.5% and 0.3%, respectively. Those changes were partially offset by petroleum and coal products, beverages and foods and transportation equipment stickers climbing 0.5%, 0.3% and 0.3%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Do Export Charges<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Also in August, export prices sank 0.1% while import costs were unchanged. Regarding products shipped abroad, general purpose, production and business-oriented machinery providers received 0.14% more for their products. Transportation equipment, other primary products and manufactured goods and chemicals declined marginally. Purchasers of general purpose, production and business-oriented machinery, however dished out 0.9% and 0.7% more when importing those items. Metals fell 0.10% while declines for beverages and foods, electric and electric products, other primary products and manufactured goods were negligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australian Consumer Inflation Expectations Climb<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Consumers in Australia believe inflation will hit 4.7% during the coming 12 months, according to the Melbourne Institute Inflation Expectations. The result is up from the 3.9% 12-month expectation in August. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
