Week Ahead - US CPI data eyed while BoE seeks to get inflation back below 10%
US The labor market is showing signs of resilience, but now the focus shifts back to inflation, with focus on the banking space. The banking system doesn't look ‘sound and resilient’ as more banks come under stress.  US regulators will eventually be forced to act as the banking crisis worsens and that could mean the further unwinding of more banks.   The April inflation report is expected to show that the disinflation process is starting to lose momentum.

Investors cautious ahead of the Fed and ECB later in the week
Investors appear to be treading carefully ahead of some key interest rate announcements this week, most notably the Fed on Wednesday but also the ECB one day later. Eurozone inflation data for April didn't throw up any nasty surprises a couple of days before the central bank makes its decision, rising slightly to 7% as expected, while core stayed stubbornly high at 5.6%. A 25 basis point rate hike is now heavily backed with one or two more to come over the following months.

Week Ahead - Brace Yourself (Fed, ECB, NFP, Peak Earnings)
US This week will be extremely busy as we have an FOMC decision, the nonfarm payroll report, peak earnings season, all while Wall Street keeps an eye on the banking industry to see if any news stresses arise.  The FOMC meeting is expected to have policymakers deliver one more quarter-point rate rise, possibly leaving the door open for one more. Disinflation trends need to show they are firmly entrenched for the Fed to take their foot off the tightening pedals.

Week Ahead - Economic data to solidify a Fed rate hike in May?
The economic data in the week ahead should solidify rate hike expectations for the May 3rd FOMC meeting, but it could also raise the bar for further tightening for the June 14th meeting.  Investors will closely monitor the first look at Q1 GDP, the Fed’s preferred wage and inflation gauges.  The first look at Q1 GDP is expected to soften from 2.6% to 2.0%. The first quarter employment cost index is expected to rise from 1.0% to 1.1%.

Tesla Earnings, Stocks flat as investors digest more earnings and the Fed's Beige Book
US stocks ended flat after investors digested multiple earnings, a Beige book that didn’t show a recession was anywhere near, and ahead of what will probably be a steady stream of hawkish Fed speak.  Investors are staring down a list of Fed speakers that will probably push back on Fed’s Bostic call that they could hike once more and be done.  Fed’s Williams, Waller, Mester, Bowman and Harker might not agree with Bostic, while Goolsbee and Cook may lean towards him.
