Stocks are jolting north today as investors are paying no mind to the OECD\u2019s downbeat economic outlook and choosing to focus on this morning\u2019s stronger-than-anticipated JOLTS print for April. The report also featured a favorable revision to the preceding month and is bolstering economic growth expectations. Turning to trade, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick drove optimism about nearing a cross-border deal with India, the world\u2019s fourth-largest economy. Market participants are reacting to the mix of positive news favorably, as labor conditions remain solid amidst continued progress on White House negotiations, which collectively bode well for corporate earnings prospects and an augmented economic expansion. Traders are responding by purchasing equities in most sectors and adding to their exposures of the greenback, bitcoin and forecast contracts. Conversely, folks are trimming their holdings of commodity futures ex crude oil, Treasuries across the curve and volatility protection instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Labor Demand Recovered in April<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Demand for workers increased in April as help-wanted postings rebounded to start the second quarter. Job openings jumped to 7.391 million, exceeding the 7.1 million consensus estimate and the upwardly revised 7.2 million from March. Gains were driven by the professional\/business services and health care\/social assistance sectors, which expanded for-hire signs by 171,000 and 102,000. Meanwhile the accommodation\/food services and state\/local education categories were the greatest laggards, as vacancies declined by 135,000 and 51,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Goods Producers Experience Decline in Orders<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Factory orders contracted in April as broad-based weakness across the durable and non-durable categories weighed on the headline. Transactions dropped 3.7% month over month (m\/m), worse than the -3% expected and offsetting March\u2019s 3.4% gain. A sharp decline in aircraft revenues drove the durable segment down 6.3% m\/m, while nondurables experienced a more modest 0.9% m\/m subtraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bullish on Treasuries from Here<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Trading action in the Treasury complex remained contained despite today\u2019s hotter-than-projected JOLTS report. Fixed income is undervalued here in my view unless you expect a sharp rise in inflation, which we haven\u2019t seen yet although rising angst about price pressures has been prevalent in consumer surveys and earnings calls. Meanwhile, the latest reading on the headline PCE gauge was 2.1%, and coupons in the complex are at least 184 basis points (bps) higher, with the 3-year changing hands at 3.94%. In the past 25 years, real rates of 200 bps have signaled opportunities to buy bonds, as they\u2019ve tended to express selling exhaustion and heavy economic restriction. But of course, this time is different since deficit and sovereign debt concerns are increasingly top of mind than ever. Still, I think the trade is for lower yields from here, as inflation cooperates, and term premiums settle in on better-than-expected fiscal revenue collections. Finally, technicals have offered bullish support, with investors feverishly defending critical levels across maturities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
International Roundup<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Inflation Eases in Europe<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Euro area inflation was flat in May on a m\/m basis after increasing 0.6% m\/m in April, according to the Consumer Price Index. The year over year (y\/y) measurement, furthermore, climbed 1.9%, easing from 2.2% in April and arriving lower than the consensus forecast of 2%. Similarly, the Core CPI, which strips out items with more volatile prices declined from 2.7% y\/y April to 2.3% last month and fell below the 2.4% estimate. During the month, energy and services saw costs decline 1.2% and 0.1% m\/m, while the food\/alcohol\/tobacco and industrial goods categories experienced charge increases of 0.5% and 0.1%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minutes from the Royal Bank of Australia\u2019s May meeting reveal that the bank is considering aggressive cuts in short term rates if the global trade disagreements weigh on conditions meaningfully. At the May gathering, policymakers proposed a jumbo 50-bp cut, but agreed to make a more common 25-bp reduction, citing a lack of indicators pointing to the economy weakening as a result of geopolitical tensions. Additionally, at a time of heightened tariff uncertainty, the bank wants to maintain a policy that is predictable. Australia is suffering from a housing shortage, so a lower key interest rate, while potentially providing relief to mortgage seekers, could also fuel price pressures for residential real estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
China\u2019s goods producing activity in May contracted at the fastest pace since September 2022, according to the Caixin-sponsored Manufacturing Purchasing Managers\u2019 Index. The index dropped from 50.4 in April to 48.3 in May, considerably below the contraction-expansion threshold of 50 and the consensus estimate of 50.7. Weak foreign demand had the largest adverse impact on the headline. Within the gauge, both production and new orders reversed from expansion to contraction, but business sentiment improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dragon Boat Festival Hits Choppy Waters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The weak PMI print wasn\u2019t the only disappointing news this morning with China\u2019s Ministry of Culture and Tourism reporting that consumer spending during the three-day Dragon Boat Festival, on a per domestic trip basis, sank 2.2% y\/y. The tight purse strings reflect low household sentiment, a result, in part, of exporters reducing payrolls due to US tariffs on Chinese products. At the same time, China has been trying to boost consumption with rebates for appliance upgrades and other incentives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
