  • All eyes are on US inflation data, which will be released today.
  • A slight decline in the core CPI and a marginal increase in the overall CPI are expected.
  • Given the uncertainty regarding interest rate cuts, defensive portfolios and rotation strategies seem to be the most reasonable solution.
  • Today, inflation data in the US will be published, which is definitely the most important event of the week.

    Estimates suggest we will see both monthly and annual declines in the core CPI component, while the overall CPI component is expected to decline on a scale of {{ecl-733| |monthly}} and show a slight increase over the year scale.

    Here are the specific expectations:

    • Annual core CPI: expected to decline slightly from 3.8% to 3.7%.
    • Annual CPI: projected to increase from 3.2% to 3.4%.
    • Monthly Core CPI: Projected to decline slightly from 0.4% to 0.3%
    • Monthly CPI: projected to decline slightly from 0.4% to 0.3%

    In terms of asset classes, if data performs as expected, some sectors may see revaluations. Belong to them:

    • Small companies
    • Bonds
    • Precious metals (gold/silver futures)

    It is common for Treasury yields to decline as an initial reaction to lower-than-expected CPI data (and vice versa).

    However, in Italy there is a saying: "Canta e suona" (this guy sings and plays to himself), which means someone who tells stories that only he believes. Well, I think the market is singing its own song about interest rate cuts.

    So we have to think: what if things don't go according to plan? What if, for example, there is no rate cut in 2024 because inflation has not yet been tamed?

    It is worth noting that since the end of last year, markets were initially convinced about a rate cut in March (which did not happen). Now, even in May, confidence is decreasing and the chances of keeping rates unchanged are 98.5%.
