The futures sank after the consumer price index (CPI) numbers came in much hotter than anticipated, with year-over-year and core numbers above estimates. Most across Wall Street are now expecting another almost guaranteed 75-basis-point hike when the Federal Reserve governors meet next week.
All the major indexes closed higher on Monday, as the risk-on rally from last week (which ended a three-week losing streak) carried over to start the new trading week. Bullish analysts cited the oversold conditions and recent buying from short-sellers, hedge funds and quantitative accounts as reasons for the recent move higher.
Interest rates were surprisingly down across the Treasury curve Monday, as buyers emerged in front of the latest CPI data. Some across Wall Street are concerned that the Treasury market may become increasingly congested at the Federal Reserve after the quantitative tightening (QT) this month. In September, the pace of QT roughly doubled, with the caps doubling to $60 billion per month for Treasury securities and to $35 billion for mortgage-backed securities.
Brent and West Texas Intermediate crude both traded higher on Monday, following through on gains posted Friday. Despite recession concerns, the move higher comes after the analysts at J.P. Morgan noted that it is possible that OPEC could cut production by as much as a million barrels to help support prices. Natural gas closed back over the $8 mark on Monday, which was up almost 3%. Gold and Bitcoin both closed higher as well.
