Yesterday a nice move lower for interest rates and MBS prices increased, today not much change in rates but stock indexes after days of decline were on fire. There isn’t much volatility in rates, but stock indexes have huge volatile sessions these days. The only data today, the University of Michigan consumer measurements that did improve slightly from January levels. Dec consumer credit released this afternoon, expected at +$8.4B jumped to $24.0B; it is equivalent to an increase of about 5.7% at an annual rate. Revolving credit increased by $13.85B in December, after decreasing $1.69B in November. Nonrevolving credit, which includes auto and student loans, rose $10.20B in December, following a $6.38B gain in the previous month.
We end the week with the question, will the Fed cut rates in March? The recent data on employment is weakening as evident yesterday with the job declines down over 200% from December and weekly jobless claims higher than estimates the odds have increased for a possible cut. Next week the January employment report and January CPI inflation are the next tests, both must confirm employment is softening and inflation isn’t increasing. The Fed under pressure from the administration to lower rates. There are always a caveats; before the March FOMC meeting (March 18th) markets will contend with another round of employment and inflation.
Next week’s calendar: nothing on Monday. Tuesday $58B 3 year note auction, Dec retail sales, Q4 employment cost index, Dec import, and export prices. Wednesday $42B 10 year note auction, Jan employment report, MBA applications. Thursday $25B 30 year bond auction, weekly jobless claims, Jan existing home sales. Friday January CPI inflation.
