However, debt ceiling anxiety continues to temper this relief.<\/p>\n<h3>April\u2019s U.S. Consumer Price Report<\/h3>\n<p>Economists are arguing back and forth about the runes of April\u2019s U.S. consumer price report. The basic takeaway was that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/marketmind-disinflation-cheer-debt-cap-fear\/\" title=\"Marketmind: Disinflation good, debt cap bad.\">headline inflation unexpectedly fell back<\/a> below 5% for the first time in two years. Financial markets reacted accordingly. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some elements of the report, such as a pickup in previously subdued goods price inflation, will keep the Fed on its toes.<\/li>\n<li>On the other hand, the monthly \u2018core\u2019 rate of inflation was the lowest since February 2021 \u2013 if you exclude lagging shelter and used-vehicle components.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Something for everyone perhaps. But the upshot for Fed futures pricing was to cut the odds of a June rate hike to a mere 4% and build up bets of up to 75 basis points of easing by year-end.<\/p>\n<h3>China\u2019s Post-COVID Economic Rebound<\/h3>\n<p>Whatever is happening with China\u2019s post-COVID economic rebound, it\u2019s not generating any inflation there. Chinese consumer and producer price inflation for April were both below forecasts \u2013 the former barely increasing 0.1% and at its lowest pace in over two years and the latter deflating by its fastest clip since the depths of the pandemic in 2020. With investors now eyeing another round of monetary easing in China, the offshore yuan slipped.<\/p>\n<h3>Britain\u2019s Inflation Readout<\/h3>\n<p>The scenario is very different in Britain, where its most recent double-digit inflation readout is now twice the prevailing U.S. rate and the Bank of England is expected to press ahead with another quarter-point rate rise to 4.5% on Thursday. Markets price in as many as two more hikes after that.<\/p>\n<h3>Market Jitters<\/h3>\n<p>Investor relief continues to be tempered by the U.S. debt ceiling impasse, which threatened to dominate the G7 finance chiefs meeting underway in Japan on Thursday. With the next formal meeting between the White House and Congressional officials due on Friday, market jitters were most obvious in the short-term Treasury bill market. At 5.7%, one-month bill yields remain at about a half point premium to Fed policy rates and 3-month yields are climbing too, to 5.4% despite Fed expectations.<\/p>\n<h3>Stock Market Gains<\/h3>\n<p>More broadly, stock market gains continue to be driven mostly by Big Tech gains \u2013 with New York\u2019s FANG+TM index of the 10 leading digital and tech firms up another 1% on Wednesday and now a whopping 43% up for 2023 to date, partly as artificial intelligence breakthroughs electrify the sector.<\/p>\n<h3>Walt Disney Shares<\/h3>\n<p>With 90% of the S&#038;P500 firms now having reported first-quarter earnings, the aggregate annual profit drop is as little as 0.6% \u2013 questioning assumptions a technical earnings recession of two consecutive quarterly declines was already underway. Estimates for full-year calendar 2023 earnings for the S&#038;P500 have flipped positive again \u2013 having dipped negative since late March. There was a sting in the tail for Walt Disney shares overnight however. Disney said it reduced streaming losses by $400 million from the prior quarter but also shed subscribers, sending the firm\u2019s shares down 4.4% in after-hours trading.<\/p>\n<h3>Events to Watch for on Thursday:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>U.S. April producer price index, weekly jobless claims<\/li>\n<li>G7 finance ministers and central bankers meet in Niigata, Japan.
