Tomorrow morning at 8:30 AM EDT, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will be releasing its November Consumer Price Index (CPI) data.  While this is not the Federal Reserve\u2019s preferred inflation statistic \u2013 that\u2019s the PCE Deflator[i]<\/sup> released alongside GDP data \u2013 CPI is the most widely reported measure and thus the one most referenced by the public.  Think of it like the Dow Jones of inflation, the most embraced measure of a key statistic, except that in this case the metric is actually a useful measure anyway.  Ahead of a set of numbers that could influence monetary policy ahead of next week\u2019s Fed meeting, major equity ETF options are surprisingly sanguine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the current consensus economist estimates from Bloomberg, along with the prior month figures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CPI<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We see that the monthly statistics are expected to decline while the annual statistics are expected to rise.  This is more of a statistical quirk than anything else.  The raw number is also likely to rise faster than the \u201ccore\u201d ex-food and energy statistic.  Economists prefer to focus on the core because it excludes more volatile, commodity market-related food and energy prices.  (Consumers tend to dislike this number because few people neither eat nor drive.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key to understanding markets\u2019 likely reaction is realizing that markets are already pricing in a fair amount of inflation, so the question will be is it under control or not.  Fed Chair Powell recently dismissed the use of the term \u201ctransitory\u201d, meaning that the Federal Reserve is more likely to view inflationary pressure as endemic to the current economic picture than something that is likely to fade naturally.  That would imply that the Fed is more likely to take measures to quash inflationary expectations, including faster tapering of bond purchases and interest rate hikes.  All of those are reductions in the pace of monetary stimulus to which investors have become accustomed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Markets didn\u2019t like being told about this prospect, and gyrated accordingly, though equity indices have since largely recovered.  If equity investors are nervous, that should be reflected in options volatility.  The evidence shows that markets are pricing in a higher likelihood for a rise tomorrow than a fall, as evidenced by the IB Probability Lab\u2019s distribution for weekly options that expire tomorrow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IB Probability Lab for QQQ December 10 options<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"IB<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Source: Interactive Brokers<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We see that for both SPY, which is linked to the S&P 500 Index, and QQQ, which is linked to the NASDAQ 100 Index, options are pricing in slight rises as the most likely outcomes for tomorrow.  QQQ has its peak at 399, which would largely recover today\u2019s dip, while SPY has a more aggressive peak at 470.  Remember that the weekly options that expire tomorrow afternoon are a relatively pure play on the CPI numbers since they only encompass trading that will occur this afternoon and tomorrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nervous traders would be more aggressive at bidding up below market options, forcing those to have a higher probability than slightly above market options.  That is not what we see in these charts.  The cumulative probability of below market options is slightly lower for both key ETFs than it is for above market options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a time when I tend to employ some contrarian thinking.  Ahead of a major economic or earnings release it is important to know where the risk for an outlier number might be.  Options in SPY and QQQ seem to be comfortable with the consensus estimates for CPI and showing us that a small rally is most likely if the statistics match expectations.  It therefore tells us that the market is less prepared for an adverse result.  Traders should decide for themselves whether they are comfortable with the consensus view and likely outcome, or whether some additional risk aversion is warranted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
