Wall Street Holds Breath After Record Close For Fed Decision, CPI Data: Why This Analyst Sees Positive Inflation Trends Ahead

June 11, 2024

U.S. stock futures point to a weak start on Tuesday, signaling a pause after Monday’s record run. Global cues are negative and commodity prices weakened as well. Traders may prefer to wait it out until the Federal Reserve meeting and May inflation reports. A cooler inflation report and/or a dot-plot chart that points to at least two rate cuts could help the market push ahead with renewed optimism. Oracle Corp.’s (NYSE:ORCL) earnings could also be in the spotlight, given the company’s exposure to AI.

Insights From Analysts:

Fund manager Louis Navellier maintains his view that momentum remains positive. “The market continues to digest the recent highs, with continued uncertainty on Fed timing, guarded optimism on the consumer, an unusual election cycle, and the distraction of surprising election results in Europe,” he said.

Wharton Professor Jeremy Siegel, Senior Economist at WisdomTree, said in his weekly commentary that the May consumer price inflation data and the Fed’s commentary this week will be critical in shaping market expectations and monetary policy direction.

The economist sees some respite in pricing pressure, stemming from the recent pullback in commodity prices, including oil. This should positively influence future inflation readings, he said.

“Lower commodity prices, coupled with potential adjustments in rental index calculations, could lead to more favorable inflation data in the coming months,” Siegel said. “This improvement would be a positive development for the markets and should influence the Federal Reserve’s rate decisions.”

That said, the economist expects the dot-plot chart released along with the Summary of Economic Projections to suggest one to two cuts this year, with some committee members even modeling no cuts.

Upcoming Economic Data:

  • The two-day Federal Open Market Committee meeting kicks off on Tuesday.
  • The Treasury will auction 52-week bills at 11:30 a.m. EDT and 10-year notes at 1 p.m. EDT.
  • The Energy Information Administration will release its short-term energy outlook report at 12 p.m. EDT.

  • Kyndryl Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:KD) moved down over 3% after Reuters reported that the IBM spin-off along with Apollo Global Management, Inc. (NYSE:APO) is planning to make a joint bid for DXC Technology Company (NYSE:DXC). DXC, which spiked in the final few minutes of trading on Monday on the rumor, was up about 3% in the premarket.
