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

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

interesting because. Christine, like out

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
