Inflation Nation: December (delayed) headline PPI was much higher than expected, up 0.5% versus estimates of 0.2% on a MOM basis and 3.0% versus estimates of 2.7% on a YOY basis.

Rosie the Riveter: The January Chicago PMI broke into positive territory for the first time in a very, very, very long time and was welcome news for the manufacturing sector with a reading of 54.0 versus estimates of 43.8.
The Talking Fed: President Trump has nominated Fed Governor Kevin Warsh.
Another week, another week with no change in interest rates. The FOMC and Powell on Wednesday had little to no market reaction in either interest rates or the stock indexes. December PPI, wholesale inflation, released this morning were higher than estimates, also no reaction. Trump nominated Kevin Warsh for the head of the Fed today, no reaction. Markets view Warsh as a more hawkish pick who would support lower interest rates, though less aggressively than other potential candidates, Trump now has three FOMC members that lean to lower rates, Marin and Fed Governor Bowman.
We overlooked posting the Jan Chicago purchasing mgrs. index this morning, the index thought to be 43.8 up from 42.7 in the prior month increased to 54.0 the first time above 50, the level between expansion and contraction for the first time in over two years.

More evidence that the economy is holding well; Powell mentioned it at his press conference.
