The relative lack of movement fits with some of the themes that we have been discussing recently.&nbsp; Good news is good, bad news is bad, the Santa Claus rally is uncertain, and anything can happen in periods of diminished volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We sold off just after the open on some modestly worse inflation news.&nbsp; The Fed\u2019s preferred measure, the PCE Core Deflator, came in slightly worse than expected.&nbsp; It was up 0.2% on a month-over-month basis, matching the consensus, but last month\u2019s reading was revised up to 0.3% from 0.2%.&nbsp; That led to a year-over-year statistic of 4.7%, just above the 4.6% consensus.&nbsp; Simultaneously, Durable Goods missed by a fairly wide margin: -2.1% vs. a 1.0% consensus.&nbsp; Down we went, though not dramatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An hour-and-a-half later, we bounced on positive reports.&nbsp; November New Home Sales rose by 5.8%, well above a consensus -5.1%.&nbsp; That was largely a numerical fluke, however.&nbsp; November rose by 640,000 when 600,000 was expected, but October was revised down from 632k to 605k.&nbsp; Overall, that\u2019s a net gain of 13,000; solid, but less dramatic than the headline indicated.&nbsp; University of Michigan Sentiment rose to 59.7, up from 59.1, which was also the consensus estimate.&nbsp; One Year Inflation Expectations fell to 4.4% from 4.6%, which again was the consensus.&nbsp; More homes sold, better sentiment, lower inflationary expectations are all good.&nbsp; These were modestly good, so we got a modest bounce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wish I could get more excited about the improving inflationary expectations report.&nbsp; Anything that demonstrates moderating inflation should be most welcome news.&nbsp; And of course, th ere is value to learning what average Americans, not just economists, think about inflation.&nbsp; Yet I believe that there is a bias to the expectations conveyed by the Michigan report.&nbsp; See if you can spot it in the graph below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-year-monthly-data-university-of-michigan-1-year-inflation-expectations-conspxmd-yellow-crude-oil-rolling-front-month-futures-cl1-red-gasoline-rolling-front-month-futures-xb1-blue\"><strong><em>5-Year Monthly Data, University of Michigan 1-Year Inflation Expectations (CONSPXMD, yellow), Crude Oil, Rolling Front-Month Futures (CL1, red), Gasoline, Rolling Front-Month Futures (XB1, blue)<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Picture1-19.png\" alt=\"5-Year Monthly Data, University of Michigan 1-Year Inflation Expectations (CONSPXMD, yellow), Crude Oil, Rolling Front-Month Futures (CL1, red), Gasoline, Rolling Front-Month Futures (XB1, blue)\" class=\"wp-image-171364 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Source: Bloomberg<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is quite clear that individuals\u2019 inflationary expectations are heavily influenced by the price of gasoline.&nbsp; The anecdotal evidence has always referenced that relationship, but the graph above shows it in black and white (and other colors).&nbsp; Most of us need to fill up our cars regularly, and the price of gas is typically displayed in big numbers throughout one\u2019s travels.&nbsp; It\u2019s much more available data than, say, rents across a wide range of localities.&nbsp; It\u2019s more high-frequency data than wage growth \u2013 and far less secretive.&nbsp; No one really wants to buy gas, but they must.&nbsp; It is understandable why many people focus on a non-discretionary, frequent expenditure that brings little pleasure and whose cost is prominently displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet this causes a bit of a conundrum.&nbsp; Although Chair Powell has referred to the Michigan Inflation Expectations, it can be at odds with the factors that drive the Core PCE Deflator.&nbsp; The latter measure excludes food and energy, meaning it specifically does not incorporate the factor that most influences the former.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we see today, good news economic news remains good news for markets. &nbsp;But it is important to keep the positives in perspective \u2013 even if light volume holiday trading can amplify both the good and the bad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I write this piece, just before midday, major US indices are roughly unchanged.
