On an annual basis, CPI moved in the wrong direction, rising from 3.2% to 3.5%. The Core measure, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, increased 0.4% while that annual reading remained at 3.8% (though it was expected to decline to 3.7%).<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the bottom line?<\/strong> March\u2019s hotter than expected consumer inflation report continues a trend we\u2019ve seen in recent months, as rising energy and shelter costs have added to pricing pressure. Price stability is part of the Fed\u2019s dual mandate. When inflation became rampant a few years ago, the Fed began aggressively hiking their benchmark Fed Funds Rate (the overnight borrowing rate for banks) to slow the economy and rein in inflation. While inflation has fallen considerably after peaking in 2022, the progress lower has slowed, which could delay the Fed\u2019s timing for rate cuts this year.<\/p>\n<p>Given that maximum employment is the other part of the Fed\u2019s dual mandate, a cooling job market with rising unemployment could pressure them to cut the Fed Funds Rate sooner rather than later. However, the overall strength of March\u2019s Jobs Report, including the falling unemployment rate, will likely not add any pressure to their timeline.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wholesale Inflation Better Than Feared<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Producer Price Index (PPI), which measures inflation on the wholesale level, rose 0.2% in March, just below estimates. On an annual basis, PPI rose from 1.6% to 2.1%, but this was better than the 2.2% estimate. Core PPI, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, was in line with forecasts at a 0.2% rise. The year-over-year reading rose from 2% to 2.4%, just above forecasts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the bottom line?<\/strong> Overall, the monthly PPI readings were tame and better than feared, which was a relief after the hot CPI readings that were reported the previous day. Plus, some of the PPI components are factored into another important consumer inflation measure called Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE), which is the Fed\u2019s favored measure, and this could\u00a0 potentially lead to a slightly better PCE report when that data is released on April 26.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Continuing Unemployment Claims Top 1.8 Million<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Initial Jobless Claims fell by 11,000 in the latest week, retreating from a two-month high, as 211,000 people filed for unemployment benefits for the first time. However, Continuing Claims surged higher by 28,000, with 1.817 million people still receiving benefits after filing their initial claim.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the bottom line?<\/strong> Initial Jobless Claims can be volatile from week to week, but their relatively low level suggests that employers are still trying to hold on to their workers. Yet, Continuing Claims are still trending higher near some of the hottest levels we\u2019ve seen since November 2021, as it\u2019s become harder for some people to find new employment once they are let go.<\/p>\n<p>This coincides with the New York Fed\u2019s latest Survey of Consumer Expectations. Respondents noted that the mean probability of finding a job within three months of losing one is now at the lowest level in almost three years. Latest on Small Business Optimism\u2026or Lack Thereof The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Small Business Optimism Index fell to 88.5 in<br \/>\nMarch. This is the weakest reading since December 2012 as \u201cowners continue to manage numerous economic headwinds,\u201d per Chief Economist Bill Dunkelberg.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the bottom line?<\/strong> The NFIB noted that inflation is back on top as the biggest problem small businesses are facing, as owners are likely feeling the impact of higher oil prices and the stalling progress on reducing pricing pressure. Plans to hire also fell for the fourth straight month. Despite talk of a strong economy, small businesses are still feeling pessimistic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Family Hack of the Week<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s National Grilled Cheese Month. This Cheddar and Apple Grilled Cheese Sandwich from the Food Network is equally parts gooey and delicious \u2013 everything grilled cheese should be! Yields two sandwiches. Thinly slice half an apple. Place 2 slices of sourdough bread on a cutting board. Top each with two slices of cheddar cheese, the apple slices, a third slice of cheese and another piece of bread. Press down lightly. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-low heat. Add the sandwiches and cook until the bread toasts and the cheese is slightly melted, about 3 to 5 minutes. Flip with a spatula and add another tablespoon of butter to the pan. Cook until the other side is toasted and the cheese is melted, around 3 minutes more. Adjust the heat as needed to keep the bread from burning before the cheese melts.\u00a0Enjoy with your favorite soup, side or simply on its own!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to Look for This Week<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll kick off the week Monday with an update on home builder sentiment for this month. Tuesday brings news on March\u2019s Housing Starts and Building Permits, while Existing Home Sales data follows on Thursday. We\u2019ll also get an update on March\u2019s Retail Sales and the latest manufacturing data for the New York region on Monday. Jobless Claims and manufacturing for Philadelphia will be reported Thursday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technical Picture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After last Wednesday\u2019s sharp decline due to the higher-than-expected CPI numbers, Mortgage Bonds were able to bounce higher off support at 99.647 on Friday. The 10-year ended last week trading at around 4.52%.
