The 4th quarter rally got an assist with two inflation reports both showing a cooling. Both the headline and core PPI came in unchanged for the month and just 2% year/y. CPI came in at the consensus up 4% year/y and 0.3% month over month.
Wednesday afternoon the Fed essentially said they were done raising, and might even lower rates three times in the coming year. That combination resulted in a big drop in short and long-term interest rates and steep rallies in bond prices and stocks. It also caused some rotation into sectors like REITs and financials which are more rate-sensitive and led the market higher. Gold also had a strong week.
Small caps had back-to-back 3% plus days Wednesday and Thursday driving this week’s return to just below 6%. The Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq cracked 7 weekly gains in a row, making the Dow the first of the major indexes to hit a record high. The S&P is just 2% away from a new high. Since the October 27th low, it’s been a risk-on attitude that’s driven stocks higher. The yield on the 10-year treasury topped out at 5% a week earlier on Oct 19th and has been coming in ever since.
The Magnificent Seven names were mostly higher, but as noted gains were broad-based and the equal-weight S&P outperformed the official index. Treasuries were firmer, with yields dropping sharply on Wednesday and Thursday amid increased market confidence rate cuts could materialize as soon as March. The 10Y yield, which had flirted with 5% as recently as 19-Oct, ended the week below 4%. The dollar was weaker on the major crosses, particularly vs the yen; DXY (1.4%). Gold finished up 1.0% after the prior week’s pullback. Oil was fractionally higher, with WTI settling up 0.3% and breaking a streak of seven straight weekly declines.
The December FOMC meeting was the focal point of the week. The market had been looking for some sort of signal that the Fed was at least pivoting from its hiking bias, and some tweaks to the meeting statement, a seeming shift away from the “higher for longer” mantra by Powell, and a new SEP showing median forecasts for 75bp in easing next year fit that bill.
The follow-on reaction to these developments was a Wednesday afternoon equity rally that pushed the Dow to a new record high and a dive in Treasury yields that saw the 10Y yield drop as low as 3.88% on Thursday. Fedwatch odds now reflect market expectations for a first cut possibly as early as March. Some Friday comments from NY Fed President Williams (voter) pushing back a bit on the notion of an abrupt pivot did not have much impact on this calculus.
The Fed’s move came as economic data continued to cooperate with soft-/no-landing hopes. November CPI release was judged to be largely in line with expectations. November headline PPI was flat m/m, as expected, with the 0.9% y/y increase the lowest annual figure in three years. Data from the NY Fed’s Empire survey, November industrial production, and flash December PMIs pointed to a continued slowdown in manufacturing. At the same time, November retail sales were stronger than expected and initial jobless claims came in lower.
With the last of 2023’s major catalysts now in the rearview, the market is very likely to be extremely quiet into year-end. There are no notable appearances by Fed speakers on the schedule, On the economic front, next week brings a burst of November housing data as well as December consumer confidence (Wednesday), the December Philadelphia Fed manufacturing index (Thursday), and November’s PCE report (Friday).
The Baker Hughes rig count was down 3 this week. There are 623 oil and gas rigs operating in the US – Down 153 from last year.
