Free AccessMNI US MARKETS ANALYSIS - Dollar Firmer, Curve Flatter Pre-CPI
Highlights:
- CPI seen as pivotal for Fed's decision-making in December
- Dollar firmer, curve flatter pre-CPI
- China Politburo meeting retains zero covid stance
US TSYS: Bear Flattening Ahead of CPI, Fedspeak and 30Y Supply
- Cash Tsys see a bear flattening after a sharp rally into yesterday’s close, with the front-end retracing more of the move as the Fed rate path drifts higher helped by Kashkari (’23 voter) pushing back on pivot talk. China’s top leadership saying it can’t relax necessary Covid measures and urges more precise, targeted Covid control took the wind out of the cheapening and more so the long end with the reduced growth implications.
- 2YY +2.5bps at 4.606%, 5YY +1.4bps at 4.255%, 10YY +0.8bps at 4.092%, 30YY -0.1bps at 4.268%.
- TYZ2 trades 6+ ticks higher at 110-17 off a session high of 110-25+ as it came closer to resistance at 111-09 (Nov 2 high), although the trend needle still points south with support seen at 109-10+ (Nov 4 low).
- Data: CPI, real av earnings and jobless claims at 0830ET, monthly budget statement 1400ET
- Fedspeak: Harker (’23 voter, text) 0900ET, Logan (’23, text) 0935ET, Daly (’24) 1100ET, Mester (’22) 1230ET and George (’22) 1330ET with text tbd for latter two.

STIR FUTURES: Fed Path Re-Firms Ahead Of CPI, Stacked Fedspeak Follows
- Fed Fund implied hikes have pushed back higher overnight, retracing yesterday’s decline albeit not completely in 2H23.
- Buoyed by Kashkari (’23) saying late yesterday any talk of Fed pivot entirely premature ("There's a lot of talk in the public about will we raise rates by 50 basis points, 75 basis points [in Dec]? Those are certainly going to be on the table, but could it something beyond that? It's possible too.") with only modest net impact on terminal from China’s top leadership urging more precise, target Covid control.
- 57.5bp for Dec (+1bp), cumulative 96.5bp to 4.81% for Feb (+2.5bp), terminal 5.08% for May/Jun’23 (+4.5bp) and 4.73% for Dec’23 (+3.5bp).
- Fedspeak: Harker (’23 voter, text) 0900ET, Logan (’23, text) 0935ET, Daly (’24) 1100ET, Mester (’22) 1230ET and George (’22) 1330ET with text tbd for latter two.

MNI CPI Preview - Can Cars Drive A Core CPI Slowdown?
- Re-sending ahead of US CPI at 0830ET.
- Core CPI inflation is seen slowing slightly to 0.5% M/M in October after surprise persistence at 0.58% in Sept. The analyst survey is skewed slightly lower although the Cleveland Fed Nowcast implies upside risk.
- A similar 0.1-0.2pt beat to last month could see a delay in the Fed’s anticipated downshift to 50bp hikes into 2023 or augur a longer string of hikes, either way pushing the terminal rate higher still and driving a sharp flattening in the Treasury curve.

US: Will Consensus Underestimate Core CPI Again?
Reminder ahead of the October CPI release (0830ET) that consensus has underestimated core CPI in 5 of the last 6 months (July's reading missed to the downside).
- The Cleveland Fed's core CPI % M/M nowcast has also missed in each of those months and in the same direction as consensus.
- But the nowcast has been at least as good as the BBG median over that period (and much closer to the mark for the Aug and Sep data). See chart.

FOREX: Greenback Firmer, But Within Recent Ranges, Ahead of Critical Inflation Release
- The greenback is among the strongest currencies in G10 ahead of the CPI release later today, with markets pre-positioning and gearing for the inflation data later today.
- The single currency is softer, with the EUR lower against all others as equities remain soft. European indices are off 0.1 - 0.3%, extending the softer stocks theme after the negative Wall Street close on Wednesday.
- The EUR weakness has prompted EUR/GBP to reverse the entirety of the Wednesday gains and keep prices within range of first support at the 0.8685 50-day EMA.
- Focus rests on the US inflation release due Thursday, with markets expecting CPI to have slowed to 7.9% on the year and 0.6% M/M.
- The release is seen as pivotal for the Fed's decision-making process headed into December, with a number of FOMC members already seeing an imminent slowdown in the pace of tightening from December onwards.
- Weekly jobless claims data is also due as well as the Banxico rate decision.

ECB: Cash Collateral Lending Takeup Has Been Elevated This Year
Further to the ECB's increase in the limit on securities lending vs cash to E250B from E150B this morning, here is a chart of the ECB securities lending against collateral (daily through Sept, Oct data will be out later this month).
- The year-end spikes in takeup are noted in the chart (as ECB's Schnabel said, this is a “precautionary measure to ease collateral scarcity and support market functioning around the year-end”), and the narrowing in ASW-bond spreads suggests that the market has taken some comfort from the announcement.
- At the last count, there was E77.1B lent against cash collateral (Sept 30th). The peak was E97.9B over year-end 2021.
- Overall, takeup has been much more elevated this year than in previous years amid collateral scarcity, averaging E60B daily over the most recent 3 months (through Sep).
