  • Wall Street expects the Fed to lower rates from 0.25% next weekAlthough some speculate Jerome Powell could provide a 0.5%”jumbo” move, given the weakness of recent labor market data. Global markets and term contracts on the United States S&P 500 have increased on the expectations of cheaper money, but there are still two other inflation data cycles before the Fed call.

The term contracts on S&P 500 increased by 0.25% this morning as investors, having digested dark data from the US labor market last week, believe that a 0.25% drop in Fed interest rates is locked. The conversation is now whether the president of the American federal reserve Jerome Powell will surprise the markets with a reduced “jumbo”, or opt instead for a series of 0.25% cup months per month.

The consensus is that the Fed will only provide a drop of 0.25%. But a minority of speculators – just at less than 10% – in the long -term market of Fed Funds CME, that 0.5% could occur.

“The broader market psychology has changed. After the pivot of the Fed Powell chair in Jackson Hole, the question is no longer if the Fed relaxes, but at what speed,” George Vessey de Convrara said this morning.

The Pantheon macroeconomics provides for three discounts of 0.25% this year; Wedbush Seth Basham provides two.

With the expectations of a new cheaper money series that descends the pipe, the world markets were all in place this morning.

The reason why investors are so safe that the cuts arrive is that under the low title number of the report on unclean payroll jobs – just 22,000 new jobs – were even lower data in the private sector. Employment growth was negative in the sectors most exposed to President Trump’s commercial prices, according to Torsten Sløk of Apollo Management. The number of jobs revised for June was negative.

In the private sector, average employment growth was only 29,000 per month from June to August, according to a note from Daiwa Capital Markets, against an average of 100,000 per month in the first quarter – before the prices were present:

Lawrence of Daiwa Werther and Brendan Stuart point to another dark indicator: the private sector dissemination index – which examines 258 private sector industries – has found that more companies cut jobs than hire new workers. The gauge fell to 48 in August – all below 50 indicates negative hiring.

The Fed will be under pressure to support the full side of the employment of its double mandate. However, there is a fly in Powell’s ointment. We will get a new number for the producer’s price index and the consumer price index this week, and the wait is that they show that inflation continues to rise. The other half of the Fed’s mandate is to face inflation – and that is why some economists always say that a 25% drop is not as guaranteed as the stock markets suppose.

“Although the Fed is now on its media failure, the Wednesday PPI and especially the IPC on Thursday will shape the prices before that,” Jim Reid’s customers told customers this morning. “Thus, a quarter of a quarter of a point is entirely at a price, but without having a lot of prices for a movement of 50 SBPS. Our economists believe that you would need to see a fairly low inflation this week to get it.”

Here is a snapshot of markets in the world this morning:
