live at cme hq last breaking news before
[3]
the memorial day holiday weekend
[5]
advanced goods trade balance expected at
[8]
a minus 114 billion comes in light
[11]
that's a good thing minus 105.9 billion
[14]
just so you understand last month at 127
[18]
billion was the biggest ever so we know
[20]
why gdp is down that's one of the
[23]
reasons more imports and exports retail
[25]
inventories up seven tenths of one
[28]
percent that's definitely much less than
[30]
we were expecting and inventory building
[33]
seemed to have peaked in the fourth
[34]
quarter of last year wholesale
[36]
inventories up four tenths one percent
[38]
very close to the a path one percent
[40]
that we were looking for uh
[43]
excuse me that's up 2.1 on wholesale
[46]
inventories up 2.1 that is as expected
[50]
personal income is up four tenths of one
[52]
percent that's a little bit light and in
[55]
the rear view mirror up half one percent
[57]
so we see that the income side's a
[59]
little light what about spending we all
[61]
know that spending has been more
[63]
difficult with inflation spending
[65]
expected up eight tenths comes in as
[67]
expected a little richer up nine tenths
[70]
one percent with a revision of 1.4
[73]
versus 1.1 last month if we look at real
[76]
spending adjusted for inflation it's up
[78]
seven tenths of one percent now let's
[81]
get into the most important aspect as
[83]
mike pointed uh the deflators uh give us
[86]
a preferred measurement of inflationary
[88]
pressures the month over month number up
[90]
two tenths of one percent up nine tenths
[93]
in the rearview mirror that was a
[94]
17-year high if we look at year over
[97]
year up 6.3 that's coming off of 6.6
[101]
which was the highest since 1982
[104]
and if we look at the core pce deflator
[107]
month over month it was up three tenths
[109]
as expected uh the high water mark there
[112]
is up 6 10 so it's half of the post
[115]
cycle high maybe the most important
[118]
number of the day personal consumption
[120]
expenditure core x food energy deflator
[124]
year over year up 4.9 percent exactly as
[128]
expected the high water mark there was
[130]
five point three percent that takes you
[133]
back to 1983. so we definitely see a
[136]
little easing back a bit uh what's
[138]
interesting here is of course that
[140]
wholesale inventories popped a bit we
[142]
want to see more inventories we want to
[144]
see more exports compared to imports to
[146]
try to moderate that trade deficit even
[149]
more of course that'll help gdp what's
[152]
interest rates uh doing with regard to
[155]
this well we're still about unchanged on
[157]
the day on a 10-year 274. we're down
[160]
about three basis points on the week and
[162]
of course we're all very excited that
[165]
the
[165]
monthly averages and weekly performance
[168]
of the equity markets might finally be
[171]
turning positive mike back to you rick
[174]
looks that way up four percent coming
[175]
into this uh in the s p 500 this week so
[178]
the core pce down below five percent 4.9
[182]
as you said on a year-over-year basis uh
[186]
it reinforces that idea i guess that
[188]
we're flattening out or moderating in
[190]
terms of the pace of inflation gains we
[192]
have energy not cooperating right on the
[194]
on the one side and we still don't know
[196]
what we might be moderating to in terms
[199]
of a level
[202]
yeah no and that's the key question
[204]
listen the notion of peak inflation
[206]
makes a lot of economic sense
[208]
considering all the issues we've gone
[210]
through or are still going through
[212]
whether it's supply chain covert all of
[214]
that but the real issue is what's going
[216]
to remain sticky probably labor and
[219]
energy the latter because of policy more
[221]
than anything else and i'm not being
[223]
political you could look at any party
[225]
there's a lot of issues there but maybe
[227]
most important is how much we come down
[230]
even if we're at peak inflation mike
[232]
which you've expressed many times along
[234]
with papasani exactly how much it
[236]
moderates as a comparison to where we
[238]
were in 2018 and 2019 that's probably
[241]
the most important aspect with regard to
[243]
how jay powell and company proceed
