Today focus will be on the ISM Manufacturing PMI: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Stocks Waver After S&P, Nasdaq End February at Record Levels

Today focus will be on the ISM Manufacturing PMI (E: 49.5) not just because of the headline reading (can it break above 50?) but also because of the price index,” writes Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye. “The price index jumped to the highest level since April last month and if that increase continues, it’ll likely be modestly positive for yields and negative for stocks.”

More Aggressive Rate Cuts Will Provide Temporary Relief…

More Aggressive Rate Cuts Will Provide Temporary Relief, It Won’t Stop A Decline In Stocks: Tom Essaye Quoted in Blockworks

Bitcoin jumps above $60k for first time in 27 months

A hard landing and resulting economic slowdown could be enough to erase the stock gains traders have enjoyed since October, according to Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research.

“The reason a hard landing would be so damaging to markets in the near term is the Fed can’t really help the market out because it’s already dovishly pivoted and the market already expects aggressive rate cuts,” Essaye said. “So, while more aggressive rate cuts will provide temporary relief, it won’t stop a decline in stocks because the economic benefit of rate cuts will take too long to hit the economy to prevent a slowdown.”

The market is mostly in a holding pattern to start the week: Tom Essaye Quoted in Barron’s

Nasdaq Snaps 2-Day Losing Streak

“The market is mostly in a holding pattern to start the week,” Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye told Barron’s in a phone interview. “The big numbers come on Thursday, with all these inflation updates.

It is not just in the U.S. with core PCE, but also in Europe. Depending on what happens there will dictate whether or not this market can grind higher.”

“It doesn’t mean the economy’s rolling over”

Tom Essaye Interviewed by Barron’s

Stocks Are in a Holding Pattern. It’s All About Inflation Data.

Sevens Report Research’s Tom Essaye told Barron’s in a phone interview that recent economic data, including durable goods and retail sales, have come in softer than expected.

“It doesn’t mean the economy’s rolling over,” he says. “But for a market that is priced for zero slowdown whatsoever, that is the risk that I think people need to watch. About the most surprising thing that I feel could happen to this market right now is that growth suddenly slows.”

“They’re behaving for now, but if you start seeing the 10-year climb far above 4.25%, I think that begins to become a headwind on the market,” Essaye says. “Until we get that inflation data, you kind of got markets in a bit of a holding pattern.”

Market Multiple Table Chart: September

Market Multiple Table Chart: Strengthen your market knowledge with a free trial of The Sevens Report.

What’s in Today’s Report:

  • Market Multiple Table Chart (September Update)

Futures are slightly lower following more mixed economic data overnight.

There were no changes to the Market Multiple Table Chart for September, leaving the July/August target levels in place.

Japanese GDP (1.2% vs. (E) 1.3%) and Euro Zone GDP (0.1% vs. (E) 0.3%) both slightly missed expectations and further hinted at a loss of economic momentum.  Meanwhile, German CPI was in line with expectations (0.3% m/m, 6.1% y/y) as inflation in the EU remains sticky.

Today the calendar is mostly quiet, but focus will be on the Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index (Previous 212.0) and markets will want to see that “bell weather” for inflation continue to decline. If the MUVVI falls solidly we could see Treasury yields dip and stocks enjoy a relief rally.  Other notable events today include Consumer Credit (E: $18.0B) and a speech by Fed Governor Barr at 9:00 a.m. ET, but neither event should move markets.
