Good MorningEquities retreated on Monday, extending the sell-off that began last week in the wake of the CPI report. The selling is driven in part by fears of rising inflation, in part by fears of FOMC activity after so long without, and in part by geopolitical fear centered on Russia and Ukraine. The threat of war could destabilize the already overstrained global supply chain but it looks like the powers-that-be will continue to talk, for now, while Putin slowly builds his forces along the border.
This week, the PPI data will be in sharp focus as it is expected to accelerate on a month-to-month basis. The consensus is for producer level prices to rise 0.5% on top of the previous month's 0.2% and put YOY increases even closer to double-digits. The risk for the market is that PPI will come in above consensus and increase the expectations for a 50 basis point interest rate hike at the March FOMC meeting.
