Summary
Mark Cudmore discusses the market mood amid US-Iran tensions, a tech selloff, and a large space IPO. He expects more near-term pain for equities before a post-IPO pop and is more concerned about a hot US PPI print, seeing inflation as a negative dynamic that could push yields higher and squeeze stocks lower.
- Asian markets recovered from early losses despite geopolitical and tech headwinds.
- A large space IPO is draining liquidity, adding near-term pressure before a likely pop.
- ECB rate hike is expected but unlikely to surprise markets.
- US PPI could upset markets with a high headline print.
- Inflation outlook continues to worsen with supply shocks and fading shelter disinflation.
- Margins may get squeezed and yields could spike, pushing stocks lower in the short term.
Ideas
Inflation to squeeze US equities lower
US PPI will come in high, upsetting people. The inflation dynamic remains negative for US stocks: margins may get squeezed, shelter disinflation has run its course, a Middle East supply shock persists, and yields may pop, squeezing the stock market lower in the very short term.
