Is This What a Soft Landing Looks Like?
January 06, 2023 22:09 - 35 minutesWith Nonfarm payrolls coming in above estimates, and wage growth softer than expected, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic said today that “the Fed needs to stay the course” with regards to raising interest rates in 2023.

The Fed Stays Strong: Higher Rates for Longer
January 04, 2023 22:37 - 35 minutesFederal Reserve officials believe that “substantially more evidence” of slowing inflation is necessary before the central bank cuts interest rates this year, according to the December FOMC minutes which were released Wednesday afternoon. Fed officials cited concern that inflation could prove “modestly persistent,” and said that higher rates for longer will be necessary to fight inflation. Officials agreed that rate cuts shouldn’t happen in 2023. On today’s Daily Briefing, Darius Dale, the fou...

January 03, 2023 23:31 - 33 minutesThe first trading day of 2023 is in the books and boy was it eventful.

Raoul Pal the Journey Man - A New Paradigm
December 29, 2022 05:00 - 47 minutesDario’s views of the global economy’s structure and how the next decade plays out are very different from those of most observers. He thinks the 1970s analogue is the wrong one to look at and that the postwar decades, the 1940s and the 1950s, provide a better framework. At the same time, he foresees a move toward a "tangible economy" and away from the "intangible economy" of the 2010s. In the fourth installment of our ‘Best of 2022’ series, Dario and Raoul talk about ramifications of this tra...

Do Central Bankers Need Their Eyes Checked?
December 16, 2022 22:44 - 35 minutesMarkets sold off again today to close the week, down drastically from Tuesday morning’s post-CPI highs. The reversal comes as central bankers in the U.S. and abroad continued to hike interest rates despite mounting evidence of a looming recession. On today’s show, Warren Pies, the co-founder and strategist at 3Fourteen Research, joins Andreas Steno Larsen to discuss what 2023 will bring, what’s driving the action in energy markets, and why he believes it’s obvious that we’ve moved past peak i...
Will Central Banks Ruin Christmas?
December 15, 2022 23:19 - 37 minutesDescription The European Central Bank and Bank of England followed the Federal Reserve in raising interest rates another 50 basis points this morning.

The Fed is Sticking to Higher for Longer
December 14, 2022 23:04 - 41 minutesThe Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 50 basis points today. It was a seventh consecutive rate hike from the Fed, four straight three-quarter point hikes. Markets moved lower in response to the expected lower increase, as forecasts now show a higher terminal interest rate later in 2023. Meanwhile, the U.K. inflation rate eased from a 41-year high in November. On today’s Daily Briefing, Darius Dale of 42 Macro joins Andreas Steno Larsen to break down what the Fed’s hike --- and the pote...
All Clear? Let's Hear from the Fed
December 14, 2022 18:31 - 40 minutesStocks surged this morning after cooler-than-expected inflation data showed that consumer prices in November rose at the slowest 12-month pace since December 2021. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose just 0.1% from the prior month and 7.1% year-over-year, down sharply from 7.7% YoY in October. But by noon ET, stocks erased all gains and now appear to be in a holding pattern ahead of tomorrow’s Fed rate decision. Is deflation starting to do some work for the Federal Reserve? Or will Fed Chair ...

We wan...
Is It All Over for Energy Bulls?
December 07, 2022 23:57 - 32 minutesPrice action continues to reflect investors’ collective ambivalence about what comes next, with Wall Street warning of grim prospects for both stocks and growth in 2023. As Jason De Sena Trennert sees it, the “greatest risk to the economy and markets may be the Fed’s need to tighten more than risk markets anticipate.” That crude oil is probing near-term lows even as China eases some “COVID zero” restrictions is just one point of confusion. Trennert, the founder and CEO of Strategas Securities...
What’s the Matter With Big Tech?
December 07, 2022 00:19 - 34 minutesThe U.S. equity sell-off extended to a fourth straight trading session today, as the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite again led to the downside with a 2.18% loss two hours ahead of the close. Meta Platforms is under regulatory scrutiny in the European Union, Apple is contending with supply-chain restructuring, and Tesla faces stiffening competition amid its CEO’s social media dabbling. And job cuts across the broad tech sector suggest we may be witnessing the end of an era. Maggie Lake welcomes Er...
From the Macro to the Micro
December 05, 2022 22:12 - 33 minutesThe Institute for Supply Management’s gauge of services activity rose to 56.5 last month from 54.4 in October, surprising to the upside and stirring fresh worry the Federal Reserve will continue to err on the hawkish side when it comes to monetary policy. The major U.S. equity indexes all sagged more than 1%, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite shedding 2.13% two hours ahead of the close. Crude oil climbed, however, as a G7 price cap of $60 per barrel on Russian production kicked in and Chin...
The Next Big Trade - Michael Gayed: This Bear’s Got Long Legs
December 04, 2022 09:00 - 45 minutesIt’s already been a tough, strange 11 months for everyone – and 2022’s not over yet. On a weekly interval basis, the S&P 500 has been in the red for more than 60% of the year. Treasuries have gone through multiple, nasty downturns and haven’t exactly performed counter to traditional risk assets. How much longer will this bear last? Are there any signs of hope? Michael Gayed, portfolio manager at Tidal Investment Group and the publisher of The Lead-Lag Report, joins Harry Melandri to break it ...

Too Early To Signal a Pivot?
December 02, 2022 23:45 - 39 minutesEquity futures sagged this morning with the release of a stronger-than-expected nonfarm payrolls report for November, as both the pace of new hiring and wage growth suggested inflation is more than a matter of snarled supply chains and a European war. Cem Karsan, the founder of Kai Volatility Advisors, joins Andreas Steno Larsen for today’s Daily Briefing to assess the implications of persistent U.S. labor market strength. We also hear from Whitney Baker on why a recession is the only thing t...
What About Growth?
December 01, 2022 23:22 - 37 minutesThe Institute of Supply Management’s gauge of manufacturing activity declined for the fifth month out of the last six in November and slipped below 50 for the first time since May 2020, another sign that growth is slowing in the U.S. As investors look forward to Friday’s jobs report, initial claims for unemployment insurance reached 1.6 million during the week ended Nov. 19, the highest level in a year. Weston Nakamura welcomes Daniel Lacalle, the chief economist at Tressis, to talk about gro...
Shall We Call This a Pivot?
November 30, 2022 22:54 - 32 minutesU.S. equity indexes surged into positive territory as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell spoke on Wednesday on his acknowledgement that the “time for moderating” interest-rate increases “may come as soon as December.” The market seized on the step-down from 75 basis points to 50 rather than Powell’s codicils: the rate peak is likely “somewhat higher” than the Fed’s September forecast, and there’s a long way to go to restore price stability. In addition to more restrictive monetary policy, Po...

Mr. Market Wants More Data
November 29, 2022 23:04 - 35 minutesU.S. equities were mixed-to-negative heading into Tuesday’s close, as investors remain cautious ahead of Friday’s release of the November jobs report. Chinese authorities seem to have stifled “Zero COVID” protests, as concerns about growth in the world’s second-largest economy persist. Crude oil prices have stabilized today, with the generic front-month futures contract trading around the historically significant $75 per barrel level. Tony Greer, the founder of TG Macro and the editor of the ...
It’s a Whole New China Syndrome
November 28, 2022 23:46 - 35 minutesHistoric protests over the weekend have pushed President Xi Jinping into perhaps the most uncomfortable position of his tenure, as China’s continuing struggle with COVID-19 restrictions weighed on market sentiment ahead of Monday’s open. All three major U.S. equity indexes were down more than 1% heading into the close, while investors sought safety in government bonds. Already skeptical of the recent rally, in his most recent research note Tavi Costa shared ample evidence a recession is immin...
Are We Seeing the Fed’s Lag Effects?
November 24, 2022 00:07 - 36 minutesMarkets held modest gains late Wednesday, as minutes from the most recent meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee suggest monetary tightening will continue, though at a less intense pace, and the policy interest rate may even reach a higher terminal level than initially forecast. That’s as more and more indicators point to slowing growth in the U.S. At the same time, data from Europe suggest things may not be as dire as once feared. Andreas Steno Larsen welcomes Weston Nakamura to talk a...
How Long Can This Rally Last?
November 22, 2022 22:35 - 35 minutesAll three major U.S. equity indexes were up about 1% heading into Tuesday’s close, rallying on light volume as investors look forward to a long holiday weekend with hope the Federal Reserve will soon ease off the monetary tightening. That’s even with sentiment indicators like the Bank of America Fund Manager Survey showing a base-case expectation for “stagflation.” Maggie Lake welcomes Daily Dirtnap editor Jared Dillian to the Daily Briefing to talk about what key markets are telling us headi...
It’s the Return of the Safety Trade
November 21, 2022 22:32 - 33 minutesIt’s a Thanksgiving-abbreviated trading week in the U.S., but there’s no lack of compelling evidence to sift this Monday. Stocks were mixed two hours ahead of the close, but long-duration Treasury yields had sent a decidedly risk-off message on signs the domestic economy is slowing. Crude oil prices reached lows not seen since January, with OPEC denying reports it will discuss production increases when it meets in December. And we’ll have more insight on central bank thinking when minutes fro...
The Next Big Trade - Is China Still Open for Business?

Be Careful What You Wish For
November 18, 2022 23:54 - 33 minutesU.S. equity indexes were mixed heading into the final two hours of the trading week, a fitting close as investors continue to struggle with data that suggest inflation has peaked and a Federal Reserve that, at least in public word, seems as hawkish as ever. “On November 10, 2022, inflation died,” Warren Pies writes in the most recent note from 3Fourteen Research. “And, despite our view that inflation is going to decelerate quickly over the coming year, there are still risks that could resurre...
How Do We Navigate This Market?
November 17, 2022 22:22 - 33 minutesThe yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note spiked and equity indexes sagged Thursday, as St. Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard said the Federal Reserve still has a lot of work to do before it brings inflation under control. That follows San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly’s remark on Wednesday that a pause in rate hikes was “off the table.” Meanwhile, the United Nations has brokered a deal that will get Ukrainian grain transiting the Black Sea safely, easing pressure on global ...
Has the Buck Topped Here?
November 16, 2022 22:08 - 32 minutesU.S. retail sales were up more than expected in October, posting the biggest month-over-month gain since February, but equity indexes struggled after Target posted disappointing third-quarter results and warned of a soft fourth quarter too. The yield on the 10-year Treasury yield declined, though the two-year/10-year curve inversion deepened on expectations the Federal Reserve will maintain a hawkish monetary course. The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow tool currently shows 4.4% fourth-quarter growth. Ma...
Is the Market Getting Ahead of Itself?
November 15, 2022 22:08 - 34 minutesSofter-than-expected U.S. Producer Price Index data for October reinforced the hope that inflationary pressures are finally beginning to ease and fired a strong open for equities Tuesday morning. “Be patient,” advises Dale Pinkert, “and wait for pullbacks.” Pinkert, the head of trader development at TradeGateHub, joins Maggie Lake to talk about whether the trend has changed for the U.S. dollar and key levels to watch for the euro, precious metals, and soft commodities. We also hear from Dave ...
