As credit resilience weakens with a worsening fundamental backdrop, our Head of Corporate Credit Research Andrew Sheets suggests investors reconsider their portfolio quality.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley. ----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Head of Corporate Credit Research at Morgan Stanley. Today I'm going to talk about why we think near term improvement may be temporary, and thus an opportunity to improve credit quality. It's Friday March 28th at 2pm in London. In volatile markets, it is always hard to parse how much is emotion, and how much is real change. As you would have heard earlier this week from my colleague Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's Chief U.S. Equity Strategist, we see a window for short-term relief in U.S. stock markets, as a number of indicators suggest that markets may have been oversold. But for credit, we think this relief will be temporary. Fundamentals around the medium-term story are on the wrong track, with both growth and inflation moving in the wrong direction. Credit investors should use this respite to improve portfolio quality. Taking a step back, our original thinking entering 2025 was that the future presented a much wider range of economic scenarios, not a great outcome for credit per se, and some real slowing of U.S. growth into 2026, again not a particularly attractive outcome. Yet we also thought it would take time for these risks to arrive. For the economy, it entered 2025 with some pretty decent momentum. We thought it would take time for any changes in policy to both materialize and change the real economic trajectory. Meanwhile, credit had several tailwinds, including attractive yields, strong demand and stable balance sheet metrics. And so we initially thought that credit would remain quite resilient, even if other asset classes showed more volatility. But our conviction in that resilience from credit is weakening as the fundamental backdrop is getting worse. Changes to U.S. policy have been more aggressive, and happened more quickly than we previously expected. And partly as a result, Morgan Stanley's forecasts for growth, inflation and policy rates are all moving in the wrong direction – with forecasts showing now weaker growth, higher inflation and fewer rate cuts from the Federal Reserve than we thought at the start of this year. And it's not just us. The Federal Reserve's latest Summary of Economic Projections, recently released, show a similar expectation for lower growth and higher inflation relative to the Fed's prior forecast path. In short, Morgan Stanley's economic forecasts point to rising odds of a scenario we think is challenging: weaker growth, and yet a central bank that may be hesitant to cut rates to support the economy, given persistent inflation. The rising risks of a scenario of weaker growth, higher inflation and less help from central bank policy temper our enthusiasm to buy the so-called dip – and add exposure given some modest recent weakness. Our U.S. credit strategy team, led by Vishwas Patkar, thinks that U.S. investment grade spreads are only 'fair', given these changing conditions, while spreads for U.S. high yield and U.S. loans should actually now be modestly wider through year-end – given the rising risks. In short, credit investors should try to keep powder dry, resist the urge to buy the dip, and look to improve portfolio quality. Thanks for listening.

In football, it's always better, at the snap of the ball to disguise your intentions. Are you going to pass or run the ball? Is it a zone defense or man-to-man?  In business or in military maneuvers the same rule applies – keep them guessing. However, in macro-economic management, it is better to make your plans clear.  That way businesses can feel more confident in hiring and investing, as can consumers when deciding to buy.  It is one of the reasons the Federal Reserve publishes a quarterly Summary of Economic Projections (or SEP) and so frequently repeats its determination to achieve 2% inflation.

US equity futures are slightly weaker. European markets are trading lower, while Asian equities ended mostly lower. Market attention remains on this week's central bank policy meetings. The Federal Reserve is widely expected to cut rates by 25-bp on Wednesday, though the updated Summary of Economic Projections and dot plot will likely draw more focus. Markets have been scaling back expectations for 2025 rate cuts. The BoE is set to update policy on Thursday, and the BoJ decision will follow on Friday, with both expected to keep rates unchanged. Weak Chinese activity data continues to highlight calls for further stimulus from Beijing, foreshadowing looser policy into 2025. Recent commentary from European Central Bank officials has supported the case for additional easing, though opinions remain divided on whether cuts will occur gradually.Companies Mentioned: Alibaba Group, Youngor Fashion Co., McCormick & Co., Shein

US futures are indicating a flat open today. European equity markets are trading slightly lower, while Asian markets finished mixed. In top stories, the debate over the Fed's upcoming rate decision remains front and center. The market is pricing in a 63% chance of a 50-basis point rate cut at today's FOMC meeting, though economists are leaning toward a 25-basis point reduction. The updated Summary of Economic Projections will be closely watched, with forecasts suggesting 75 basis points of cuts in 2024. However, market pricing implies as much as 110 basis points in cuts by year-end.Companies Mentioned: Google, BlackRock, Microsoft, Brookfield Asset Management, NVIDIA, Nippon Steel, United States Steel

Fed May Let Inflation Run Higher If Unemployment Rate Surges At last week's Fed meeting and press conference, the markets rallied as the FOMC's Summary of Economic Projections suggested that #theFed members are still anticipating 3 rate cuts in 2024. Yet what got less attention, but may be even more impactful, is that Jerome Powell suggested that the Fed may be willing to let inflation run hotter than its 2% mandate if there's a surge in the unemployment rate (which has risen from 3.4% last May to 3.9% this February). So in today's show we look at the Fed's recent comments, as well as the reaction in the precious metals in the days following the Fed's announcement, that occurred after yet another increase in the #silver short position held by the banks.

I think the Fed is extremely data dependent, if anything, too data dependent, says Anna Wong, chief US economist for Bloomberg Economics. In this Macro Matters edition of the FICC focus podcast, Wong joins host Ira Jersey, chief US interest rate strategist for Bloomberg Intelligence, to unpack the March FOMC meeting. The pair discuss the surprises and developments from the meeting, including revisions to the Statement of Economic Projections and their implications for the path of Fed policy.

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news that a lot happened so let's get into it.In the week ahead we will get the US Fed's interest rate decision, and American inflation and retail sales data. We will also get central bank updates from the ECB, the Bank of England, the Swiss National Bank, Norges Bank, and Brazil's central bank.But first up we need to report that China is now in deflation again. Consumer prices fell -0.5% in November from a year ago, steeper than a -0.2% drop in the prior month and compared with market forecasts of a moderated -0.1% fall. It was the fastest decline in Chinese inflation since November 2020, driven my faster falling food costs, at the strongest pace in over two years and the biggest impact here was from a sharper fall in pork prices. Beef, lamb and milk prices are also falling although nothing like the pork prices. Meantime, non-food inflation slowed notably from +0.4% from +0.7%.Chinese producer prices also fell faster and by more than anticipated.But even in the face of current and obvious economic restraints, Beijing looks set to launch an ambitious growth target for 2024. Maybe as high as +5%. But there is no indication that huge stimulus programs are about to be launched. New debt support however will be a part of it. One thing is becoming clearer however, Hong Kong's days as a financial center are drawing to an end with mainland policies undermining its judicial independence and court transparency. Contracts entered into there have to meet Beijing's control measures. This sort of window dressing doesn't apply when it puts the CCP in a bad light.Across China, presale properties are taking a hit as homebuyers fear that financially distressed developers will not be able to deliver despite upfront payments. The share of presale properties between January and October this year slumped to the lowest point since 2017.Meanwhile, Taiwan's export growth was expected to have turned positive in November and that is how it turned out - although the year-on-year gain wasn't quite what was expected even if the miss was minor. It has been a year and a half since they have had a gain like this, however.Across the Pacific, the US economy added +199,000 jobs in November, more than the +150,000 added in October and better than the expected +180,000 gain. The strength was across the board, including for manufacturing.Away from the headline seasonally-adjusted data, the actual employer payrolls came in at a record 158.5 mln, up a strong +488,000 from October. For the broader household survey of employment which includes the unincorporated self-employed, it rose to 162.1 mln and also an all-time record, swelling +473,000 in the month (revealing a small shift to company payrolls). Either way you look at it there were many more workers getting paid in November than October, +3.4 mln more in a year (+2.8 mln more on company payrolls). It is a significant shift (and achievement).The golden jobs run is lifting confidence. The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey surged to 69.4 in December, rising from 61.3 in the previous month and surpassing market expectations set at 62.0. It was the highest level recorded since August, largely driven by positive shifts in the expected path of inflation. They dropped to 3.1% from November's 4.5%, marking the lowest level recorded since March 2021.And there doesn't seem to be any stress showing up in American consumer debt levels. They rose a much tamer (and minor) +US$5.1 bln in October from September to US$4.968 tln or just 18.1% of US GDP. A modest +US$9 bln rise was expected and that too would have been low. Rising employment and solid pay increases (+4.0%, so higher than inflation) are helping consumers keep a lid on their consumer (non-housing) debt. If the global economy does wobble, it won't be because of US household finances in the current state.All this run of positive data has markets pulling back on their enthusiastic expectation that the Fed will be cutting rates in 2024. Again, it is the Fed that is getting the future view right, not the commentariat. They are meeting this week and will announce the results of its policy deliberations on Thursday (NZT) along with their closely watched and highly anticipated quarterly Summary of Economic Projections. Markets expect no change in their policy rate at 5.5%, and holding at its 20+ year high. (Remember, markets have priced in American rate cuts starting in Q2-2024.)The release of the December version of the USDA WASDE report caused barely a ripple, mainly because they report a sanguine crop and livestock situation worldwide with adequate stocks and balanced demand and supply. US beef import estimates are raised for 2024 on expectations of demand for processing-grade beef. US milk production is retreating somewhat.The UN FAO also reported on December global food prices and they said the same. Food price stress has long eased and the global costs of meat and dairy have eased more than most other categories. Overall prices are falling and back to early 2021 levels and far below the intervening bubble.The Reserve Bank of India held its benchmark policy rate at 6.5% for the fifth consecutive meeting on Friday. They seem confident they are keeping inflation within their generous 2-6% target range. The rate hold was in line with market expectations. India's annual inflation slowed to a four-month low of 4.9% in October.In Australia, the incoming Labor Government ordered a competition review of how banks treat retail savers. They were particularly keen to get banks to automatically switch savers to the 'best rates' on rollover. Borrowers got the RBA's rate changes in a full pass-through, but savers did not. That review has now ended and the results will be tabled this coming week. It will be interesting to see whether the industry responds with generally higher savings rate offers, or higher lending rates.Prior to that, over the weekend their Government announced it will raise fees for foreigners who buy existing houses and will penalise them if they leave the properties vacant. They also decided they will incentivise foreign investors for build Build-to-Rent properties to boost their housing supply.We should also note that Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has announced she will step down as premier this coming week after nine years in power.The UST 10yr yield is holding firmer at 4.23% but little-changed in a week. The price of gold will start today just on US$2005/oz and up +US$8 from Saturday.Oil prices are up +US$1 from Saturday at just under US$71.50/bbl in the US. The international Brent price is now just under US$76/bbl. A week ago these prices were US$74.50 and US$79/bbl so a net -US$3 shift lower since then.The Kiwi dollar starts today at 61.2 USc and up a minor +10 bps from Saturday. A week ago we were at 62 USc. Against the Aussie we are also up +10 bps at 93.2 AUc. Against the euro we are still at 56.9 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today just on 70.2, -50 bps lower than a week ago.The bitcoin price starts today at US$43,820 very little changed from this time Saturday (+0.3). However, a week ago it was US$38,773, so a +13% rise from then. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been low at +/- 0.5%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.

Four times per year, the Federal Open Market Committee releases a Summary of Economic Projections that reports FOMC participants' projections for the federal funds rate and key economic variables. The SEP, featuring the so-called “dot plot,” gives markets a sense of where the Fed feels the economy and monetary policy are heading the next few years, but the implications are not always clear. In this episode, Sophia Kearney-Lederman of FHN Financial talks about what goes into the Fed's projections, how to interpret them, and how much value they have at this point in the tightening cycle.

The UAW strike is now seven days in, with little light at the end of the tunnel. Where is the impasse headed? Recent IPOs have sank since buoyant debuts. Why are ARM, CART, and KVYO now trading at or below their initial prices? The Fed released its quarterly Summary of Economic Projections. What are the Fed's projections for inflation, the economy, and unemployment, and what does it mean for your money?

#Gold, #Silver Trend Higher Ahead Of Latest Fed Meeting Once again it's time for another Federal Reserve policy meeting, where they provide their latest update on their balancing act between keeping up their fight against inflation, and avoiding a recession/banking collapse in response to the higher interest rates. As many forecasted over the past 10 years during the 0% interest rate decade, it's become a tricky dynamic to maneuver. We've already seen bank failures earlier this year that forced the Fed to launch a new funding facility to take assets that were losing value off of the banks' balance sheet. And as we will cover in today's show, the pressure in the banking system still appears to be far from over. Yet the higher rates for longer has left gold and silver in a holding pattern throughout the year, with silver slightly down on the year, while gold is slightly above where it began 2023. Both precious metals are rising this morning ahead of the Fed's announcement, where in particular the market will be looking for the updated Summary of Economic Projections. Which in June continued to suggest that the Fed voting board was still expecting interest rate cuts in 2024 and beyond. Will the rising energy prices and CPI readings impact what the Fed will do going forward? It's not an easy position they're in at this point, which we discuss in today's show, as well as some recent silver data.

The US Federal Reserve's updated forecasts for its benchmark interest rate - due Thursday morning Singapore - are looming as a potential decider for a Treasuries market at risk of a third year of losses.  The two key questions are whether policymakers retain expectations for one more 25 basis-point rate hike by year-end, and how much easing they are pencilling in for 2024. The Federal Open Markets Committee FOMC is also due to release its quarterly Summary of Economic Projections, which will include the "dot plot," or a glimpse into participating members' expectations regarding the future path of interest rates. So how are stocks, bonds and the US dollar reacting ahead of the Fed's interest rate decision? On Money in the Market, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Richard Bullock, Senior Research Analyst, Newton Investment Management, BNY Mellon Investment Management, to find out more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Finally, traditional indicators also may be missing the mark in predicting persistent inflation.  In particular, in the June Summary of Economic Projections, most members of the Federal Reserve's Federal Open Market Committee in effect professed that an unemployment rate of 4% or higher was necessary to attain the Fed's long-term objective of 2% inflation.  However, the unemployment rate has now been below 4% for 21 straight months and, yet, since March of last year, year-over-year wage growth has drifted down from a peak of 5.9% to 4.3% last month. 

The goal of this podcast is to help to educate as many individuals as possible on markets, the economy, and financial planning topics. The Fed now sees slightly higher economic growth, unemployment rising a little slower, and inflation running slightly higher through the remainder of 2023 based on their June projections versus their March projections. Inflation has come down the fastest over the last 12 month outside of a recession. Is the Fed continuing to fight the last war of inflation, as the potential of excess tightening working with a lag leading to a potentially deeper economic contraction? After the Fed pause at the June meeting, what is the likelihood of further rate hikes? These choices can lead to different outcomes for the economy and therefore investing. Let's look at their projections from June and what they mean for future meetings and the economy. 

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is expected to maintain its benchmark lending rate at the 5%-5.25% range, marking the first skip after 10 consecutive increases going back to March of last year. While officials' efforts have helped to reduce price pressures in the US economy, inflation remains well above their goal. Investors' focus will be on the Fed's quarterly dot plot in its Summary of Economic Projections, which is expected to show the policy benchmark rate at 5.1% at the end of 2023. In this episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied examine this news and determine the effect it will have on the economy as a whole.They discuss comments from Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, who claims to be surprised at the way the US economy has weathered higher interest rates, elevated inflation, and banking turmoil over the past year.Chris and Saied look at recent Fed data, indicating that Americans have a record amount of credit card debt right now — close to $990 billion.They also offer some thoughts on a revised home prices forecast from Goldman Sachs strategists, who now predict a smaller decline this year — 2.2% decline in 2023, down from 6.1%.

After a rundown of the markets and macro news for June 12-16, DoubleLine's Jeffrey Mayberry and Samuel Lau cover the June FOMC meeting and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell's press conference (15:31). The federal funds rate remained unchanged, and Sam goes through what that meant for the interest charged on reserves, the overnight reverse repo facility*, the amount available to borrow at the banking window and the caps on quantitative tightening (QT). He then recaps the Summary of Economic Projections (17:32), which maintains the Fed's hawkish stance on potential tightening (a position echoed in post-meeting Fedspeak (13:12)). Jeff then runs down Powell's Other Way 'Round Bro press conference (20:57), where in a break from tradition Powell's comments bolstered market activity as the event went on. Jeff discusses how similar Powell's language was to the last press conference, flagging exceptions such as the Fed chair's parsing of “skip” and “pause” in regard to the June rates decision. Once again, Powell masterfully avoided any answers on QT policy. In the breakdown of the market week, Sam notes that risk assets really liked Wednesday's Fed move (2:11), with the S&P 500 surging, while fixed income shrugged off the hike break (4:36). Commodities scored their second up week in a row (6:52) and Bitcoin was flat (8:25). Macro Land (9:18) had a very busy week beyond the FOMC meeting, including CPI and PPI prints as well as retail sales numbers and jobless claims. Next week's holiday-shortened week will bring a run of Fed officials speaking in public (32:43). This episode was recorded before market close on June 16, 2023. *For more on the overnight reverse repo facility, check out: MMM Episode 112: Red Week, Recession Metrics and the Overnight Reverse Repo Facility

 I believe that educated investors = successful investors. The goal of this podcast is to help to educate as many individuals as possible on markets, the economy, and financial planning topics. The Fed now sees growth slower, unemployment rising a little slower, and inflation running slightly higher through the remainder of 2023 based on their March projections. This forces the Fed to make a choice, do they focus on supporting the weakening economic outlook, or continue to prioritize the fight against higher but slowly falling inflation? Does the recent banking crisis cause them to rethink potential rate hikes after the May meeting. These choices can lead to different outcomes for the economy and therefore investing. Let's look at their projections from March and what it means for the May meeting.

The Federal Reserve's just-announced rate hike of 25 BPS puts more strain on an economy under increasing pressure, and commercial real estate markets are among the many areas of the economy that are vulnerable to these rising rates. At the same time, the the growing chasm between expensive mortgage payments and more-affordable rental prices will continue to bolster multifamily demand and drive would-be homebuyers into the rental market.

After reviewing a March 20-24 market week that brought a little bit of green, DoubleLine's Jeff Mayberry and Sam Lau recap and review the Federal Open Market Committee's March meeting as well as Fed Chair Jerome H. Powell's press conference (14:30). Sam runs down changes to the FOMC's Summary of Economic Projections (19:06) and dot plots (21:02), including speculation on the identity of the FOMC member projecting a federal funds rate of 5.9% at the end of 2023 (the median was 5.1%). Jeff breaks down Powell's press conference (23:07), which kicked off with a focus on the banking crisis. Conference highlights include Powell's projection of confidence, his insistence that the current balance-sheet expansion is temporary lending to banks and not QE (25:38), Powell's assertion that all depositors are safe and how that squares with what Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has been saying (27:50) and his harsh words for SVB management (30:11). In the rundown of the market week (1:54), Sam reports some positive performance for the S&P 500, the Agg and Bitcoin. Over in Macro Land (10:08), Jeff talks a steady jobless claims report, PMI numbers that could be pointing to a pickup in manufacturing and the Fed's balance-sheet numbers, among other topics. Next week (35:13) will bring some numbers on home prices, personal income and spending, and the latest print of the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index. Fed Vice Chair Michael S. Barr is also scheduled to speak before Congress on the banking crisis. This episode was recorded after market close March 24, 2023.

At the end of January, spotlight will shift from earnings to the Federal Reserve (Fed) next week as they wrap up their 2-day monetary policy meeting on Wednesday, February 1. This wee Brian discusses how market expectations are set for an increase of 25 basis points (bps) in the fed funds rate, which would shift the Fed's target range up to 4.50%–4.75% from 4.25%–4.50%. There will be no updated Summary of Economic Projections accompanying the meeting, leaving investors to sift through the policy statement and Chair Powell's post-meeting press conference for any potential clues on the path of future policy.Chart: 2 Year Treasury Yield vs Fed Fund Target Rate Tracking #1-05357454Questions?

@nigeriasbest and @phoenix_agenda were joined by @Chxta They discussed their political and economic projections for 2023.

Some impactful trends of 2022 may not be as prominent next year. For example, this year's dramatic interest rate increases are expected to plateau and 2022's high levels of inflation will likely to decrease in 2023. That being said, many of the major forces driving the multifamily market will continue. The critically low supply of housing may not have gotten as much attention in light of the declining rent and single family home prices this year, but housing demand will remain high until single family and apartment construction dramatically increases, which will not happen overnight or next year, for that matter.

The Fed now sees growth slower, unemployment rising faster, and inflation running slightly higher through the remainder of 2023 than their projections in September.

Welcome back to In Good Companies! This season, we're exploring the forces shaping your business, inside and out—and to kick off Season Two, we've got a double whammy: inflation and interest rates.During COVID, the Federal Reserve cut its target range for the Federal Funds Rate to 0.00% to 0.25%. But now, in 2022, inflation has hit a 40-year high and interest rates are climbing again. In six short months, the Federal Funds Rate target range has risen steeply, from a range of 0% to 0.25%  to a range of 3.00% to 3.25%. High interest rates can have a substantial effect on businesses and consumers alike. So, how high will rates climb? And how long will they stay elevated?  One of the people best positioned to answer those questions is Dr. Lindsey Piegza, Chief Economist at Stifel: she's spent her career translating the economy to a broad audience. Together, we'll examine the relationship between interest and inflation, decode the Fed's monetary policy and explore why this inflation might be particularly stubborn.As always, we'll dig into what this means for you and your business: what indicators to pay attention to, how to adapt to a high-interest environment and why you should be especially cautious when inflation recedes.So join us!

On February 25, the city got an update of just how much money the city budget is projected to have for the next fiscal year and annually through 2026. General Fund revenues are on course to exceed September projections by modest amounts due in part to favorably adjusted income tax revenue estimates. Projections show that the city's fiscal recovery will benefit from employment rates of blue collar workers more than any other industry group in the city, with higher educational attainment service industries growing at the slowest rate. Research Associate Dr. Esmat Ishag-Osman talks more about it on this episode of Facts Matter.

Dan Krieter and Dan Belton discuss their takeaways from the June FOMC which featured a more hawkish outlook from the Summary of Economic Projections, an acknowledgement that the Fed might be underestimating the likely path of inflation, and a technical adjustment to the Fed's administered rates. They conclude with a brief discussion on what tapering will likely mean for credit spreads later this year.

Next week, the Federal Reserve holds its fourth FOMC meeting of the year.  After the meeting, they will release a statement, very likely communicating no change in policy.  Fed Chair, Jerome Powell will likely emphasize the same message in his post-meeting press conference.  However, for investors, the most important information will be delivered in numbers rather than words, as the Fed discloses the median forecasts of FOMC members in their June Summary of Economic Projections.

In the prepared statement and in the press conference, the Committee assessed that the U.S. economy likely slipped into a ‘soft-patch' over the final seven weeks of the year 2020 and likely over the first four weeks or so of the year 2021. So, while the Committee downgraded the very near-term assessment of the economy, the Committee strengthened its medium-term outlook. Net-net, at the upcoming March Meeting's SEP projections, the Committee likely may strengthen its real GDP growth estimate for years 2021 and 2022, we believe. Can the FOMC catch up to our models forecasts of +5.00% YoY growth in 2021 and +4.00% YoY growth in 2022?  Please, stay tuned! In this episode, MUFG U.S. Rates Strategist, John Herrmann, previews the 4th Quarter GDP report, parses the various nuances and subtleties of the FOMC's economic outlook and monetary policy stance, as well as tells listeners what it means for his core strategic investment stance for a 2s-30s Treasury yield curve steepener.
