Tematica’s Mark Abssy recaps the latest inflation update, the Fed’s reaction to it and what it means for rates going forward. The shortened week doesn’t mean it’s going to be a dull one as we have earnings updates from a few consumer-focused companies, miners and at least one homebuilder. As usual, we’re interested to hear about not just what they’ve seen in their respective markets over the past quarter but also what see going forward.

Thoughts From The Divide: Natural Disasters?

BY JON WEBB
One might have expected yesterday’s CPI data to be of significance for asset prices. As it happened the figures were interesting, with the inflation data surprising to the high side: marginally, but still a miss, while core CPI actually increased for the 2nd month. Hardly proof of resurgent inflation but notable in the context of a series which has been trending lower since Sep 2022.
