Tackle Today: Inflation Week

August 7, 2023

By | No Comments

Will Inflation Start Taking Center Stage Again?

It is inflation week and traders and investors from all corners will have their eyes on the inflationary numbers that come out later this week in an otherwise light economic calendar. The most important of these will be the CPI on Thursday where consumer prices will be reported. This will be followed by producer prices (PPI) on Friday along with the University of Michigan consumer survey that contains the inflation expectation series. With yields causing a bit of a market stir last week and climbing again today, the inflationary data is certainly the market event of the week.

The core of earnings season is wrapping up this week and while most of the heavy hitters are behind us, there are still some interesting names this week including Walt Disney, Roblox, Barrick Gold, Rivian, UPS, and popular retail stocks Palantir and Lucid after the bell today. Earnings season has been mixed this season with companies beating as usual but the overall earnings growth rate in negative territory. Matt gave it it an overall C in totality on the Trading Justice podcast yesterday which you can check out here.  C’s might get degrees but can it help recharge the market?
