Speaker 1: a long time since the Knicks beat the Nets. Got

Speaker 1: to San Francisco, Boston to Washington, d C. Nationwide on Sirius, xamp,
Speaker 1: the Bloomberg Business app, and Bloomberg dot Com. This is
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning. I'm Nathan Hagar on a morning
Speaker 1: where investors maybe holding their breath just a bit while
Speaker 1: we wait for the latest reading on inflation. The Consumer
Speaker 1: Price Index for the month of January is due out
Speaker 1: at eight thirty Wall Street time, just a little more
Speaker 1: than three hours from now. Ahead of it, we're joined
Speaker 1: right now by Michael Houston, the chief market analyst at
Speaker 1: CMC Markets. Michael, it's always great to speak with you.
Speaker 1: The consensus when you check the Eco go function on
Speaker 1: the Bloomberg terminal, is calling for another drop in year
Speaker 1: over year inflation, but pretty significant jump when you look
Speaker 1: at the month to month number. What kind of market
Speaker 1: reaction could we see if we hit that consensus this morning?
Speaker 1: I think I think the consensus, Nathan, is pretty much
Speaker 1: priced in. I think what's not priced in is the
Speaker 1: mismatch that we've seen between bond markets, the dollar, and
Speaker 1: stock markets since that payrolls report hit the tape. Cast
Speaker 1: your mind back to the third of February, which is
Speaker 1: obviously when we got that bumper payrolls number. UM two
Speaker 1: year yields have gone from four point zero three percent
Speaker 1: to four point five. The dollar's gone up. So it's
Speaker 1: the NEZTAC and the SMP five, So you know, there
Speaker 1: is a little bit of there's a little bit of
Speaker 1: a divergence there. They both. They can't all be right.
Speaker 1: Try and get my words out. They can't all be right.
Speaker 1: So either the stock market is right and we're heading
Speaker 1: for the soft landing, or the bond market is right
Speaker 1: and the Fed is going to continue to hike by
Speaker 1: much more than the stock markets are pricing in. I'm
Speaker 1: of the opinion that the warm weather or the warmer
Speaker 1: weather that we saw in January is likely to see
Speaker 1: much more resilient and inflation data, much more resilient jobs data,
Speaker 1: and later this week potentially much at more resilient retail
Speaker 1: sales numbers. And that's slightly to mean that the federal
Speaker 1: reserve is likely to hike by at least another fifty
Speaker 1: basis points between now and the summer, and the market
Speaker 1: is not pricing that interesting because we have heard from
Speaker 1: a number of analysts that we could see at least
Speaker 1: two hikes from this Federal reserve before things start to
Speaker 1: pull back, either at the end of this year early next.
Speaker 1: What has you thinking that that the market hasn't fully
Speaker 1: gotten that message just yet, just just the behavior I
Speaker 1: think of the SMP and the nastac um. You're looking
Speaker 1: at a US two year old and four and up
Speaker 1: between four and a half and four and three quarters percent,
Speaker 1: and certainly I think there's potential for yields to go
Speaker 1: up quite a bit. The FED funds rate it's already
Speaker 1: pretty much where the two year yield rate is. So
Speaker 1: if you're working on the basis of a terminal rate
Speaker 1: of around about five point to five, and certainly an
Speaker 1: awful lot of the narrative from a number of FED
Speaker 1: speakers suggests that's the case, then why would you buy um? Uh?
Speaker 1: You know, US US equities? They are already very fairly
Speaker 1: highly valued, and the earnings numbers, profits growth isn't particularly
Speaker 1: great relative to their valuations, So why are we heading
Speaker 1: higher when it comes to US markets? It doesn't compute.
Speaker 1: There's an awful lot going on at the moment in
Speaker 1: these markets that suggest to me that there's a slight
Speaker 1: disconnect and what stock investors are looking at and what
Speaker 1: the bond markets are looking at. What's the possibility Michael,
Speaker 1: that we could see a harder than expected inflation reading
Speaker 1: And if we do, what could that mean from markets?
Speaker 1: I think it's quite high. You're probably going to enend
Speaker 1: up with a little bit of egg on my face.
Speaker 1: But I think that certainly core prices and I think
Speaker 1: it's core prices we need to be focused on yet, Nathan.
Speaker 1: Core prices could come in maybe potentially between five point
Speaker 1: six and five point seven. I don't think we're going
Speaker 1: to get seen much significant softness there. Headline numbers completely
Speaker 1: different story. But we're not looking at headline numbers anymore.
Speaker 1: So we're looking potentially not point five, not point six
Speaker 1: excluding food and energy, potentially an upward revision to December
Speaker 1: and five point six five point seven on the annual basis,
Speaker 1: And I think that could potentially send us higher and
Speaker 1: knock the NASTAC and near some feedback down again. And
Speaker 1: if we were to get that scenario, would that be
Speaker 1: a blip? Do you think in what we're seeing in inflation?
Speaker 1: What's the trajectory that we're looking at for inflation right now?
Speaker 1: The trajectory is still for a slowdown in the pace
Speaker 1: of inflation, but it's really about um the pace of
Speaker 1: that trajectory. I don't think anyone disputes that inflation is
Speaker 1: coming down. It's just that I think markets would like
Speaker 1: to think that it will go it will come down
Speaker 1: as quickly as it went up, and I'm of the
Speaker 1: opinion that that is unlikely to happen. You've only got
Speaker 1: to look at what wage growth has been doing, only
Speaker 1: not only in the U S but here in the UK.
Speaker 1: I mean, average wage growth in the private sector here
Speaker 1: in the UK is at seven point five percent. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: cp I is over ten. But that is going to
Speaker 1: filter through going forward, and certainly I think as we
Speaker 1: head into the summer, wage growth is going to remain
Speaker 1: sticky and that is going to keep the FED, I
Speaker 1: would suggest, quite hawkish over the course of the next
Speaker 1: three to six mons. This is Bloomberg Daybreak Today, your
