Week Ahead - Can CPI, Retail Sales, and Bank Earnings derail Fed rate hike odds?
The US labor market is softening, but still remains tight and that should keep the door open for policymakers to raise rates again at the May 3rd policy meeting. The focus now shifts to whether disinflation trends can get back on track.  The March inflation report is expected to show a slower monthly pace of 0.2%, down from 0.4%, while headline inflation reading is expected at 5.2% year on year, down from February’s 6.0%.

Wall Street ready for a long weekend, Jobless Claims confirms labor market weakness is here, Canada Jobs Impress
Wall Street looks like it is ready for both a long weekend and a nonfarm payroll report that will likely show labor market weakness is happening.  Stocks wavered most of the session as investors refrained from massive positioning before this shortened trading week wraps up. Some traders however don’t want exposure in case we get an upside surprise with the jobs report, just like Canada did today.  Stocks settled higher as job softness and Fed Bullard's comments suggest monetary policy is almost

US Close - Fed’s dovish hike trumped by Yellen not considering broad increase in deposit insurance, Oil rallies, Gold gets groove back, Bitcoin softens
Wall Street’s initial take on the Fed was that they delivered a dovish hike and that banking turmoil will finish the job of bringing inflation back to target.  Fed Chair Powell started the press conference by noting that the banking system is sound, but Treasury Secretary Yellen put a wrench in that idea.  Yellen noted that regulators are not considering a broad increase in deposit insurance.  Yellen said she is not considering a broad increase in deposit insurance despite all the discussion aro

US Open: Stocks waver after UBS takeover deal/coordinated CB action/banking worries, Yen thrives on risk aversion flows, Bullish oil bets abandoned, Gold $2k, Bitcoin closer to $40k than November low
Looks like it will be another long week on Wall Street.  It was a busy weekend after a Credit Suisse bailout and a coordinated effort by the Fed and other central banks to boost dollar liquidity.  Despite a couple major weekend attempts to contain the risks hitting the banking system, US stocks are wavering as risk aversion won’t be going away until markets are confident that the Fed is done with their rate hiking campaign.  The banking system still doesn’t have any confidence as Wall Street tri

US Open: Stocks still jittery on banking woes, Inflation expectation fall to lowest levels in nearly 2 years, Crude struggles, Gold shines, Bitcoin eyes $30k
US stocks are weakening on fears that this week’s banking turmoil will lead to tighter lending standards that will cripple small businesses and eventually send this economy into a recession. The Fed’s rate hiking cycle was already feeling restrictive, so now that we have rising risks of more bank bailouts and even tighter credit standards, the growth outlook for the economy is rather bleak. Next week will be huge as markets are unsure if the Fed will continue to tighten or given this week's ban
