A listener production. Wall
0:05
Street regains its composure following yesterday's sharp
0:07
sell-off. And the Aussie share market is
0:09
expected to fall on Friday as Fed
0:11
officials highlight the need for patience. I'm
0:13
Tom. And I'm Ryan. It's Friday,
0:15
the 12th of April. Welcome to the ComSec market
0:18
update. Ryan,
0:20
the US markets have just closed. The Dow is flat.
0:22
The S&P 500 up by 0.7%. The
0:26
NASDAQ up 1.7%. So
0:29
we did see tech-related momentum stocks leading the
0:31
charge today. Tom, we need to see- Not
0:33
the open, no. No, not the
0:36
open, but they found their footing and
0:38
that occurred after the weaker than expected
0:40
producer prices data came out for the
0:42
month of March. Given what you've seen
0:44
in the last two days, how would
0:46
you feel about things if
0:48
you were managing a large sum of
0:51
money? Certainly as a bond investor, it's
0:53
a tricky predicament at the moment. And
0:55
we are seeing increasing bearishness in the
0:57
US treasury market. That's for sure. Yesterday,
1:00
we had the biggest one-day loss since
1:02
August 2022. Today
1:04
a little bit of a mixed backdrop, but nonetheless,
1:08
we have seen bond traders positioning
1:10
for the possibility that there's a risk
1:13
for higher, for longer interest rates in
1:15
the United States and perhaps no change
1:17
in interest rates this year. Yeah. The
1:20
volume on that conversation has been
1:23
low for the last couple of
1:25
weeks. It has been there, but
1:27
now it seems to have supplanted
1:29
in some respects that rate cut
1:32
narrative. And that is at
1:34
the hand of June being canceled. No
1:36
rate cut for you in June. That's
1:38
right. So what we have seen is rate cut
1:41
expectations dialed back to September now.
1:43
Of course, we have seen money managers
1:46
reacting to that. Things like
1:48
Schroeder's, for example, they're shorting US bonds
1:50
across some tenors as sticky inflation raises
1:52
the prospect of those higher for longer
1:54
rates. Yeah. So in the
1:57
short space of time, things have turned
1:59
around aggressively. And within that
2:01
I actually think that bond markets
2:03
were reasonably well behaved. Last night,
2:05
Under the circumstances, a ten year
2:07
government bond ultimately ended up rising
2:10
by to basis points to four
2:12
fifty six Such that's a modest
2:14
moved under the circumstances. Still, Above
2:16
that four and a half level that with
2:19
sizes as being a troublesome for stocks but
2:21
the are they did get a look a
2:23
little bit higher than high as four fifty
2:25
eight to ten years. still the highest levels
2:28
this year to your government bonds actually ended
2:30
up keeping by the end of the session
2:32
so that would down by about four basis
2:35
points to four point nine three percent that
2:37
they did have a look at that five
2:39
percent area early on in the session. the
2:41
highest level since November yes I touched fought
2:44
to send be So Us produce prices increase
2:46
in March from he really by the most
2:48
eleven months. as big focus tonight's on the
2:50
fact that most wholesale prices paid. Were.
2:53
Weaker than expected say to produce a price
2:55
index rose by zero point two percent a
2:57
march. Expectations were four zero point three percent
2:59
lift the annual growth right listed from one
3:01
point six to two point one percent as
3:03
a mates and that's the most and laden
3:05
months. Of. Course and Mrs
3:08
chose to look at the monthly move which
3:10
was weaker than what we had previously seen
3:12
in Sea Bream. Particular, we saw a big
3:14
jump a zero point six percent. the core
3:17
measure, right? Zero point two percent of much
3:19
as well. The annual cool measure analyzed listed
3:21
from two point seven percent to two point
3:23
eight percent. But what we're saying with these
3:26
numbers tom is some really soft to The
3:28
consumer Price index was stronger than expected yesterday.
3:30
a pleasure at point four percent. But.
3:33
The several categories in the produce
3:35
a price index that been informed
3:37
Us Federal Reserve pursued inflation measure
3:40
the personal consumption expenditures price goods
3:42
such as health care personally management.
3:45
And a say for example, and I'll time
3:47
in. Softer. Than expected or not
3:49
as strong as a had been and Sea
3:51
Breeze and that's when markets to perhaps expect
3:53
that number later this month to be a
3:56
bit softer than the actual Consumer Price Index
3:58
number said bearing in mind that Pay. Could
4:00
be listening to this before that had
4:02
this says coffee. Let me just as
4:04
I interpret some of what you said,
4:06
such a producer. Inflation is what we'd
4:09
send to refer to as upstream. it's
4:11
license house seats to think of a
4:13
river. it's like ah, close to the
4:15
source of the rhythms and it's were
4:17
inflation starts to have it's origins because
4:19
it's what happens in a sack, trailer,
4:22
manufacturing level and there are numbers in
4:24
these figures that and save into what
4:26
the Us Central Bank will set quite
4:28
carefully. which is us that numbers. Around
4:30
what people earn and spend as
4:32
a and inflation visit with in
4:35
or that's bottom line is the
4:37
euphoria around the in size and
4:39
story has it's origins of the
4:41
towards the end of last year.
4:44
And. Since then we have seen incremental
4:46
increases the it as a producer
4:48
or Cpr level that now make
4:50
the idea of cutting rights a
4:52
lot harder and you have to
4:54
argue a lot hotter if you're
4:56
in those central bank meetings. So
4:58
why in the Us particularly interest
5:00
rates should be cast? Audience A
5:02
very good explanation Tom we saw
5:04
the Cost of Senses increase your
5:06
I point three percent within the
5:08
Pp numbers today and that rose
5:10
by the same much since spree.
5:13

5:15
his around the services sector that's relates
5:17

5:36
that's what feeds into the Us. It was

6:47
interesting because. Christine, like out
6:50
the President of the European Central Bank said.
6:52
I don't think you can draw conclusions based
6:54
on the assumption that to inflation she's referring
6:56
to the Euro Zone and Us are the
6:58
same. They're not the same. We had data
7:00
