The S&P, Nasdaq and Russell were all higher this week while the Dow ended lower. Growth outperformed value and with mixed sectors. REITs put in the best performance with some help from M&A. Healthcare rallied with upside leadership from biotech and pharma. BIIB +38.6% was a big gainer following the controversial FDA approval of the company’s Alzheimer’s therapy, Aduhelm. Consumer discretionary was another standout with help from AMZN +4.4%. The broader retail group also fared well, as did restaurants, while the bulk of the homebuilders and autos were weak. Tech outperformed with growth software, a particular bright spot while semis lagged. Consumer staples ended down with weakness in big box retailers and food names. Materials underperformed with weakness in forest products, copper and chemicals. Industrials sold off with machinery and parcel/logistics names among the worst performers. Financials put in the worst performance as banks came under pressure on rates. Treasuries rallied with the yield on the 10-year note down nearly 12 bp to end the week at 1.45%. The dollar index was up 0.4. Gold lost 0.7%. WTI crude gained 1.9%.
The widely anticipated May CPI report came in hotter than expected with headline prices seeing the biggest y/y increase since 2008 and core prices up the most since 1992. However, the report did not do much to shift the inflation debate and bond yields actually fell sharply this week on thoughts that inflation concerns may have peaked. The lower rate backdrop helped growth outperform value by over 220 bp. A busy week of infrastructure stimulus headlines continued to highlight a very difficult path to a bipartisan deal and the likelihood of Democrats ultimately having to try to go it alone via budget reconciliation. As expected, the G7 reached an agreement to back a global minimum tax proposal, though strategists downplayed the headwind on earnings and the market seemed fairly skeptical a deal would ever come to fruition. Reopening headlines remained upbeat while stocks leveraged to this theme put in a fairly mixed performance. With the CPI out of the way, the focus shifts to next week’s FOMC meeting where the big question will be whether Powell says the Fed has begun informal discussions about tapering.
The June FOMC meeting is widely expected to be the macro highlight for next week. Takeaways from early sell-side previews suggest the Street is looking for Powell to note that the Fed talked about the pace of asset purchases, but refrain from providing any formal thresholds surrounding the conditions it would like to see before starting to remove some policy accommodation. Previews also highlighted expectations for Powell to indicate that the Fed believes it will still be “some time” before “substantial further progress” is made. According to the latest Reuters survey, the market expects the Fed to announce a QE taper in August or September, but not actually start to reduce asset purchases until early 2022. While some firms suggested it will be a close call, it seems as if the Street is also looking for the median 2023 dot to remain unchanged around the ZLB. The 2021 inflation dots are expected to move much higher as the Fed marks to market, though only minor tweaks seem likely for the out-year forecasts. Powell is expected to reiterate the Fed mantra that price pressures will be transitory as supply chain bottlenecks are worked out. He is also expected to reiterate that the Fed takes overheating risks seriously and has the toolkit to push back against unwanted inflation pressures.
Despite the combination of a continued steady stream of articles highlighting price pressures and another hotter than expected CPI reading, bond yields were sharply lower this week. The move was largely attributed to thoughts that inflation worries may have peaked in the wake of the softer than expected May non-farm payrolls print (even though some of the softness was attributed to supply shortages, while wages surprised to the upside again). The Fed received the bulk of the credit for this narrative with the focus on the consensus messaging around its transitory view of price pressures. Talk of peak reopening sentiment, the complicated path for additional fiscal stimulus out of Washington, the dampened credit impulse in China and Beijing’s heightened efforts to crack down on surging commodities prices were also mentioned as supportive.

Consumer Price Index – Released 6/10/2021 – Headline consumer prices rose 0.64% m/m in May following a 0.8% gain in April, ahead of the 0.5% consensus. Core consumer prices increased 0.74% m/m in May following a 0.9% gain in April, ahead of the 0.5% consensus. Headline prices were up 5.0% y/y, the biggest increase since June 2008. Core prices were up 3.8% y/y, the biggest increase since June 1992. Similar to the April CPI report, economist takeaways flagged base effects, reopening momentum and supply chain pressures. Airfares, parking fees, apparel and hotel lodging were among the reopening categories that saw some upward pressure. The semi shortage led to a 7.3% increase in used car prices following a 10.0% surge in April that UBS said was the largest increase in at least 68 years. New car prices were up 1.6%. BofA noted that together, new and used cars contributed 37 bp to core CPI, accounting for half of the May increase. Economists noted these trends largely fit with the Fed’s messaging about how price pressures will be transitory. However, they also pointed out that reopening categories and car prices have more room to run and “transitory” may be longer than expected, a dynamic that could have adverse implications for inflation expectations. There were also thoughts that higher commodity and housing/rental prices, as well as higher wages, could play into concerns about stickier inflation.
