Market Multiple Table: August Update
What’s in Today’s Report:
- Market Multiple Table: August Update
- Chart: JOLTS Hit New Record
Stock futures are little changed this morning as investors digest Monday’s hawkish Fed chatter and continue to monitor the status of the Delta variant outbreak around the globe.
Economically, Germany’s August ZEW Survey was moderately disappointing while domestically, the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index came in at 99.7 vs. (E) 103.3, however neither report is materially moving markets given the recent focus on the very strong July jobs report in the U.S.
On infrastructure, the $1.2T bipartisan bill is expected to pass a final vote in the Senate later this morning but that has largely been priced into markets already.
Today, there is one economic report to watch: Productivity and Costs (E: 3.5%, 1.2%) and one Fed speaker: Evans (2:30 p.m. ET).
Additionally, there is a 3-Year Treasury Note auction at 1:00 p.m. ET, and a soft outcome could result in another wave of hawkish money flows like we saw on Monday (yields higher, dollar higher, mixed price action in equities).

The Bullish Recipe (Why Stocks Are So Resilient)
What’s in Today’s Report:
- The Bullish Recipe (Why Stocks Are So Resilient)
- Weekly Market Preview: Will COVID Weigh on the Recovery?
- Weekly Economic Cheat Sheet: Key Inflation Data This Week
Futures are slightly lower following a mostly quiet weekend of news as there were no major changes to the COVID outlook or the economic recovery.
Economic data was solid as German and Chinese exports for July both beat estimates.
Chinese CPI rose 1% vs. (E) 0.8% and that may reduce the amount of stimulus officials unleash on the economy (so potentially negative for global growth).
Today focus will be on JOLTS (E: 9825M) and on Fed commentary following the jobs report (Bostic at 10:10 a.m. ET and Barkin at 11:20 a.m. ET). But, unless JOLTS are a major surprise or Fed officials are shockingly hawkish, these events shouldn’t move markets. As such, the tenor of COVID headlines (and whether we are seeing behavior changes) will continue to drive markets in the near term.
Is Stagflation Possible? Yes.
What’s in Today’s Report:
- Is Stagflation Possible? Yes.
Futures are little changed ahead of this morning’s jobs report.
Economic data underwhelmed overnight with Japanese Household Spending falling –3.2% while German Industrial Production missed estimates (-1.3% vs. (E) 0.5%).
On COVID, headlines remain net negative as cases continue to rise and analysts look for any signs of a loss of economic momentum (so far there’s nothing concrete).
Today the focus is on the jobs report and expectations are as follows: Job Adds: 900K, UE Rate: 5.7% and Wages: 0.3% m/m and 3.8% y/y. Again, the biggest risk to markets is for a “Too Hot” jobs number that shifts the tapering timeline, and if that occurs we should brace for volatility.
