Both bond and stock traders were poised to react<\/a> when the January Employment report hit the wires at 8:30 ET today.  Who expected that it would take a back seat to other economic data and news?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I happened to be doing live media when the data was released, and I generally stand by my initial assertion that this does nothing to incentivize the Fed<\/a> to adjust rates anytime soon.  While Nonfarm Payrolls rose by only 143,000, below the 175k consensus, the two-month revision added 100k jobs to already robust results.  The Unemployment Rate dipped to 4.0%, below last month\u2019s 4.1%, which was also the consensus estimate.  And to my mind, the most interesting part of the report was the unexpected rise in Average Hourly Earnings.  Those were expected to remain unchanged at 0.3%, but they came in at 0.5%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, when we keep the Fed\u2019s dual mandate<\/a> in mind, we can postpone concerns that we are moving away from maximum sustainable employment, but remain vigilant that stable prices might not be a foregone conclusion.  Fed Funds futures traders agreed, with the probability for a full cut moving from July to September, and the likelihood of a second cut in 2025 moved from about 75% to about 50%.  Expectations on IBKR ForecastTrader<\/a> also dipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quite frankly, that shouldn\u2019t have perturbed markets too much, and they didn\u2019t.  Remember our assertion that for the stock market, a stronger economy ultimately outweighs the need for rate cuts.  A modest dip in rate cut expectations should not have caused too many concerns, and frankly, they didn\u2019t.  Stock futures dipped initially, but they had recovered all their losses and were on pace for another day of gains once markets fully opened.  Bond yields rose modestly, from about 2-3bp higher to about 6bp higher across the curve, but those too were not concerning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then at 10am EST, we got a negative economic surprise.  There is no way to sugarcoat the University of Michigan report.  Sentiment plunged from 71.1 to 67.8 when it was expected to rise to 71.8.  Meanwhile, 1-Year Inflation Expectations soared to 4.3% when they were expected to remain steady at 3.3%.  So called \u201csoft data\u201d of this nature by no means indicate that stagflation is on the horizon, but they do reveal that something is concerning those surveyed \u2013 despite seemingly ample jobs and wages.  For example, we have noted before that 1-Year Michigan inflation expectations generally follow gasoline prices.  Instead, expectations soared despite relatively stable prices at the pump:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the subsequent piece of unfriendly market news could explain the malaise.  Stocks plunged after a Reuters report<\/a> that President Trump planned to initiate reciprocal tariffs as early as today.   The President then made comments confirming that report<\/a> during a meeting with the Japanese Prime Minister, without specifying the affected countries.   Traders certainly shifted to a more \u201crisk-off\u201d footing, and the S&P 500 (SPX) was about -0.8% lower by midday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite all this, traders continue to probe for opportunities to buy dips, as we can see in the chart below.  Note the sharp drops when the Michigan data and tariff reports arrived, then the attempted bounces that followed.  We can\u2019t rule out either another attempt at a late rally, or perhaps a \u201csell the rumor, buy the news\u201d move if the tariff announcement is more benign than feared.  Either way, however, today\u2019s activity points out again the volatility pitfalls that can sneak up unexpectedly during a busy news cycle.  (Unless, seemingly, you\u2019re trading Meta Platforms (META).  That stock hasn\u2019t had a down day in over three weeks!  Magnificent indeed.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
