There’s a good chance April MoM Core #CPI increases to >0.4% (from March’s 0.36%) on a bounce in the OER component and slight uptick in commodities ex F and E following PPI Consensus will stick to 0.3% as it again hugs the lagging NowCast. Do with that what you will. The…
And yet they still can’t get a months inflation forecast even close… 😂 So who’s still listening to their rate cut forecasts?
A reminder from a year ago why the Fed inflation NowCast underestimates #CPI as it rises like it is doing right now… The big IBs all hug the NowCast and build their rate forecasts from that which tells you how unreliable they are. Expecting rate cuts is looking in the rear view…

The fact there wasn’t a single 0.4% Core inflation forecast across this group when you had a NowCast of 0.31% and months of evidence that the NowCast is downward biased right now due to methodology, makes any forecast of rate cuts by this same group totally unreliable
As profiled below, the implications of now 3 months of core #CPI at 0.4% MoM (with April also looking the same) are important for markets. Most importantly- remember that real Core #inflation is consistently running 0.1% higher than the Fed nowcast due to its methodology and…

#Inflation scenarios: The Fed NowCast has under-cast MoM #CPI by 0.1% in each of the last 2 months reflecting its lagged moving average approach to some components that have been accelerating for 6+ months If we see the same pattern again, March Core CPI would come in at 0.41%…
No bet placed on this #CPI - just chiming in from the sidelines. But like last month it’s time for a reminder that for the last 2 months the actual #inflation print has been hotter than the Fed CPI nowcast which happens as inflation troughs and bounces over 6+months due to the…
As long as central bankers continue to say that they believe their current policy is restrictive enough to return inflation to target, risk markets will continue to rally as a reminder that policy is not restrictive and loose financial conditions are exacerbating inflation…
#Inflation watch: Ahead of Tuesdays CPI, it’s worth noting that the CPI Nowcast forecast error has flipped from positive to negative in January. This means that the Nowcast is more likely to underestimate inflation right now because most core components are based on rolling…
Powell, sticking to past script and ignoring recent inflation data in his comments, just gave the green light for even easier financial conditions in short term. Amazing Stocks, oil, Bitcoin, Ponzis should remain well bid for now. Particularly small caps with likely lagged catch…

#Inflation acceleration (MoM) right now is coming from BOTH cyclical and Acyclical sectors That’s interesting as it suggests a very broad inflation impulse across the economy. Transportation and wages are at the core of this, neither of which appear likely to cool in the short…
The eventual sign of the top in $NVDA share price will NOT be a quarterly revenue miss. It will be when the accustomed $2bn quarterly beat disappears. Consensus revenue estimates are now fairly meaningless because the buy side is ALL expecting and front running these beats.…
I’ve heard from multiple CEOs with large transaction portfolios connected to the trucking spot market about how abysmal February has been. One described it as the beginning of the end of the “great flush out” for small carriers. “January was a headfake” said another.

Think it's tempting to write off these surveys as noisy - which they are. But directionally, it's hard to ignore the fact that they are not re-accelerating as many have expected. They seem to be turning down again.
Richmond Fed survey was the 3rd in a row to surprise to the downside, after Empire & Philly. Ex-pandemic it's the weakest since GFC. Historically the Employment index at -15 is synonymous with nonfarm at -200k. 😳

A high number of expected rate cuts paradoxically reduces the probability that the Fed will cut deeply. This post notes that credit quality remains solid and balance sheets remain strong, so lower rates could easily rekindle growth and inflation. fedguy.com/reflexivity/
