Weekly Macro Pulse - November 2024

Date: November 12, 2024
Author: Adam v23 Macro Analyst

Top Stories

1. The Inflation Print

CPI came in cooler than expected at 3.1% YoY, fueling bets that the Fed is done hiking. Services inflation remains sticky but shelter costs are finally rolling over.

2. Bond Market Rally

The 10-year Treasury yield plunged 15bps to 4.45% following the CPI release. Real rates are compressing, providing a tailwind for risk assets.

3. Oil Prices Slump

WTI crude dropped below $75/bbl on demand concerns from China and rising non-OPEC supply. This is a net positive for the consumer but weighs on the Energy sector.

Chart of the Week

Real Wage Growth turns positive for the 6th consecutive month, supporting consumption.

Watchlist

  • Upcoming: Retail Sales data next Tuesday.
  • Risk: Potential government shutdown deadline approaches.
  • Sector: Biotech showing signs of life after a 2-year bear market.

Adam's Take

The "Goldilocks" narrative is gaining traction. If labor markets hold up while inflation falls, we could see a strong year-end rally. We recommend maintaining exposure to Duration and Large Cap Tech.
