由于美國公布的通脹數據符合預期,市場基本維持了美聯儲將于9月開始降息的判斷,股市隨之出現上漲。
標普500指數連續第五天上漲,創下一個多月來的最長連漲紀錄。其大部分權重股均實現上漲,金融股和能源股漲幅居前。國債小幅波動。美元在四個月低點附近徘徊。
消費者物價指數(CPI)數據鞏固了通脹回落趨勢,并為上周崩潰后仍在掙扎的市場帶來了些許寬慰。加之就業市場疲軟,市場普遍預計美聯儲將于下月開始降息,而降息幅度可能將取決于即將公布的數據。
摩根士丹利(Morgan Stanley)旗下E*Trade的克里斯·拉金稱:“雖然可能不及昨天公布的PPI數據那么亮眼,但由于今天的CPI數據符合預期,所以市場并未受到太大影響。現在的首要問題是美聯儲下個月是會降息25個基點還是50個基點。如果未來五周的大部分數據都指向經濟放緩,那么美聯儲可能會更采取更為激進的降息舉措。”
Evercore的克里希納·古哈稱,7月份的CPI數據雖然不夠完美,但因為其與美聯儲青睞的溫和通脹預期一致,已足以令人感到滿意。此外,由于自7月份就業報告發布以來,就業下行風險已成為美聯儲的首要考量要素,央行已放棄對數據點的依賴,而是以更廣泛的經濟前景和風險平衡作為(決策的)著眼點。
古哈指出:“現在就業數據才是美聯儲最關心的事,而不是通脹數據,而即將公布的勞動力數據將決定美聯儲會以何種力度推進降息。”
標普500指數在5455點附近徘徊。權重股漲跌不一,英偉達(Nvidia)上漲,Alphabet下跌。華爾街的“恐懼指數”——VIX,持續走低,目前已跌破17。在此之前,該指數上周曾史無前例地飆升至65以上。
美國10年期國債收益率下降了2個基點至3.82%。
“市場下跌帶來的壓力已漸行漸遠”,Nationwide公司的馬克·哈克特稱,“隨著對宏觀經濟的擔憂逐漸褪去,股票回購開始回潮,市場勢頭趨于穩定,股市獲得了更好的發展環境。”
以奧斯卡·穆諾茲和根納季·戈德堡為首,道明證券(TD Securities)的策略師們認為,最新的消費者物價報告相當于正式確認了美聯儲將于9月份開始降息。
“對美聯儲而言,最新發布的CPI報告無疑是個好消息”,他們表示,“由于美國經濟實際上同時面臨著兩方面的風險,其中就業市場下行的風險可能還要更大一些,我們認為,要想判斷美聯儲的決策動向,需要重點關注其首次降息的幅度。”
在獨立顧問聯盟(Independent Advisor Alliance)的克里斯·扎卡雷利看來,7月的CPI數據是最典型的“沒有消息,就是好消息”,因為市場一直處于緊張狀態,美聯儲正在尋求降息,而這份報告中并未出現任何可能妨礙其降息的內容。
Premier Miton Investors的尼爾·伯瑞爾稱:“近期的波動主要由宏觀層面消息推動,再次上演了‘沉悶的消息就是好消息’的戲碼。也為美聯儲在下一次會議前權衡經濟狀況提供了喘息空間。”
信安資產管理公司(Principal Asset Management)的西瑪·沙阿表示,最新發布的CPI數據為美聯儲掃除了可能阻礙其于9月份啟動降息的通脹障礙。然而,這一數字也表明,降息50基點的緊迫性比較有限。
瑞士隆奧投資管理公司(Lombard Odier Investment Managers)的弗洛里安·伊爾波認為:“除低迷的就業數據或許可以為降息提供支撐外,該報告幾乎未提供什么有用的新信息來幫助美聯儲指導決策。”
“這份溫和的CPI報告或許可以幫助美聯儲官員增強一些信心,相信通脹正在得到有效控制”,彭博經濟(Bloomberg Economics)的安娜·王和斯圖爾特·保羅稱, “盡管7月的核心PCE通脹數據不會像CPI數據一樣好看,但由于失業率上升,我們預計美聯儲還是會在9月份啟動降息。”
在美聯儲今年還將召開三次議息會議的情況下,交易者仍認為2024年的降息幅度將略高于1個百分點。從最近的交易結果可以看出,市場對下個月美聯儲將會降息25個基點還是50個基點出現了分歧。
瑞銀全球財富管理公司(UBS Global Wealth Management)的布萊恩·羅斯稱:“由于通脹數據已經回落到理想區間,美聯儲有了從9月份開始降息的空間,但他們目前并無理由采取激進的降息策略。是否要降息50個基點,而不是通常的25個基點,可能要看8月份的就業數據。”
羅斯還指出,周四公布的零售銷售數據同樣十分關鍵,因為對他的軟著陸基本假設而言,消費者支出回落是最主要的下行風險。
加拿大皇家銀行全球資產管理公司(RBC Global Asset Management)藍灣投資組合經理尼爾·孫說:“美國經濟在持續降溫,勞動力市場也表現出一定程度的放緩。不過,短期內我們并不太過擔心美國經濟可能存在衰退風險。如果通脹持續降溫、美國經濟持續放緩的勢頭不變,我們也已做好準備,將會充分利用市場波動帶來的任何機會”。(財富中文網)

Stocks rose after an in-line U.S. inflation report did little to alter bets the Federal Reserve will start cutting rates in September.
The S&P 500 headed toward its fifth straight day of gains, the longest winning streak in more than month. Most of its major groups advanced, with financial and energy shares leading the charge. Treasuries saw small moves. The dollar hovered near a four-month low.
The consumer price index reinforced the trend of disinflation and brought a degree of relief to markets still reeling after last week’s meltdown. Combined with a softening job market, the Fed is widely expected to start lowering rates next month, while the size of the cut will likely be determined by incoming data.
“It may not have been as cool as yesterday’s PPI, but today’s as-expected CPI likely will not rock the boat,” said Chris Larkin at E*Trade from Morgan Stanley. “Now the primary question is whether the Fed will cut rates by 25 or 50 basis points next month. If most of the data over the next five weeks points to a slowing economy, the Fed may cut more aggressively.”
At Evercore, Krishna Guha said the July CPI was not perfect, but it was good enough as it was consistent with a tame read on the Fed’s preferred inflation measure. In addition, the central bank has disavowed data-point dependence, and is looking at the wider outlook and balance of risks, with downside risks to employment dominating since the July employment report.
“This is now a labor data-first Fed, not an inflation data-first Fed, and the incoming labor data will determine how aggressively the Fed pulls forward rate cuts,” Guha noted.
The S&P 500 hovered near 5,455. Megacaps were mixed, with Nvidia Corp. up and Alphabet Inc. down. Wall Street’s “fear gauge” – the VIX – continued to subside, dropping below 17. That’s after an unprecedented spike that took the gauge above 65 last week.
Treasury 10-year yields declined two basis points to 3.82%.
“The stress of the market decline is a fading memory,” said Mark Hackett at Nationwide. “Calming macro fears, the return of share repurchases, and stabilizing momentum provide an improved backdrop for equities.”
The latest consumer price report “checked the box” for the Fed to start cutting rates in September, according to TD Securities’ strategists led by Oscar Munoz and Gennadiy Goldberg.
“Today’s CPI report is again unambiguously welcome news for the Federal Reserve,” they said. “As risks have become truly two-sided for the US economy, if not slightly tilted toward downward employment outcomes, we expect the Fed’s upcoming decision to come down to the magnitude of the first rate cut.”
To Chris Zaccarelli at Independent Advisor Alliance, the July CPI print is the ultimate “no news, is good news” because the markets have been on edge and the Fed is looking to cut interest rates — and nothing in this report should deter them from doing so.
“Recent volatility has largely been driven by macro news, and this is a case of ‘dull news is good news’,” said Neil Birrell at Premier Miton Investors. “It also allows the Fed breathing space as they weigh the economy ahead of their next meeting.”
At Principal Asset Management, Seema Shah says the CPI print removes any lingering inflation obstacles that may have been preventing the Fed from starting the rate cutting cycle in September. Yet, the number also suggests limited urgency for a 50 basis-point cut.
“It offers little new information to guide the future decisions of the Fed, aside from potentially supporting a rate cut due to job market concerns,” according to Florian Ielpo at Lombard Odier Investment Managers.
“The soft CPI report will likely give Fed officials modestly more confidence that inflation is on the way down,” said Anna Wong and Stuart Paul at Bloomberg Economics. “Even though July’s core PCE inflation print won’t be as good, we expect the Fed to cut rates in September due to the rising unemployment rate.”
Traders are still pricing in just over 1 percentage point worth of rate reductions in 2024, with three Fed policy meetings remaining this year. In recent sessions, market pricing had shown a split on the outcome of either 25 or 50 basis points worth of rate reductions next month.
“The inflation data has been good enough to allow the Fed to start cutting rates in September, but does not give them a reason to cut aggressively,” said Brian Rose at UBS Global Wealth Management. “The decision whether to cut by 50 basis points instead of the usual 25 bps may come down to the August labor report.”
Rose also notes that Thursday’s retail sales data is another critical release as the main downside risk to his base case scenario of a soft landing is a pullback in consumer spending.
“The US economy is sustainably cooling, and the labor market is exhibiting a bit of slowing,” said Neil Sun, a BlueBay portfolio manager at RBC Global Asset Management. “However, we are not overly concerned over US recession risks in the short-term. We stand ready to thoughtfully capitalize on any pockets of volatility should underlying trends of cooling inflation and sustainably slowing US economy continue.”
