The overall Consumer Price Index (CPI) released this morning climbed 7.7% from the same month a year ago compared to the anticipated 7.9% increase. While 7.7% is still substantial, the data release includes various reasons for optimism and have shored up investment sentiment about the possibility of the Federal Reserve (the Fed) taking a smoother approach to rate tightening in the coming months. Investors reacted by bidding up equity prices while bond yields declined. Despite this improving inflation sentiment, I believe the Fed still needs to maintain a hawkish stance that will make a soft landing unlikely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From an optimistic perspective, the Core CPI, the services sector and annualized inflation rates show substantial moderation in price gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Core CPI, which excludes the highly volatile food and energy components, climbed 6.3% year over year (y\/y) in October, better than the anticipated 6.5% increase. It registered a 0.3% month over month (m\/m) increase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Services less energy prices gains climbed only 0.5% m\/m compared to the 0.8% rate in last month\u2019s report.Services include food away from home, medical care, transportation services and shelter which have shown stubborn prices increase. For example, while September\u2019s Core Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) index climbed 0.5% m\/m and certain consumer goods prices declined, services increased 0.6% m\/m. Inflation for services as measured by both the CPI and PCE have been persistent as consumers shift spending away home goods and toward entertainment, restaurants, travel and other services as the COVID-19 winds down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inflation on an annualized rate based on October\u2019s m\/m CPI change is also encouraging. The monthly gain points to a 4.8% annualized rate for the overall index and 3.6% for the Core CPI, a lot closer to the Fed\u2019s 2% target. Just last month, core CPI was 0.6%, an annualized rate of 7.2%. While inflation is still hot overall, progress in the core areas is certainly encouraging.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Expectations of Fed tightening moved down significantly this morning, with the market now strongly expecting a 50 basis point (bp) hike at the December meeting. Odds of a 75 bp hike in December moved down to 14% while odds of a 50 bp increase climbed to 86%. Just a few weeks ago during the last week of October, odds favored a 75 bp hike after hot inflation readings trampled hopes of a quick pivot from aggressive tightening. Driven by a reduction in inflation expectations and a less tight Fed, yields retreated significantly in a bull steepening motion, with 2s and 10s down 28 and 21 basis points respectively. The drastic downward shift in Fed tightening expectations may pave the way for a Santa Claus equity market rally into year-end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-formidable-challenge-persists\"><strong>A Formidable Challenge Persists<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While a strong bear-market rally is likely after this report against the backdrop of what is typically a robust seasonal period for equities as the year winds down, an important question to consider is whether prices are coming down due to rising efficiencies or due to demand destruction. It would be great news if prices would come down while consumer demand remained strong, but unfortunately, I don\u2019t think that\u2019s the case. Importantly, efficiencies are unlikely to improve as weak sentiment among executives has curtailed business capital expenditure expectations while corporations are struggling with a shortage of workers, wage pressures, and high interest rates. Revenue guidance from the Street and declining earnings expectations for 2023 point to a burdened consumer and a deteriorating economy driving price declines due to reduced demand rather than greater efficiencies. While the market cheers a great inflation report, it\u2019s important to remember the 19% bear market rally in August that was driven by slower inflation readings driven mainly by only category: gasoline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Picture1-6-1100x798.png\" alt=\"The peaking inflation narrative produced a powerful 19 percent bear market rally last summer\" class=\"wp-image-165936 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px; aspect-ratio: 1100\/798;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to learn more about what goes into the Consumer Price Index report?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tradersacademy.online\/trading-lesson\/consumer-price-index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Watch here<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;at Traders\u2019 Academy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This material does not and is not intended to take into account the particular financial conditions,<\/em> <em>investment objectives or requirements of individual customers.
