Good MorningEquities started the weak falling nearly 3.0% to the lowest levels in over two weeks as fighting in Ukraine intensifies. While Ukrainian forces are putting up a solid fight, the Russian advance is largely unchecked and moving forward step by step. With fighting expected to enter population centers at any time, the odds of a Ukrainian collapse grow daily. The economic fallout from Russia's offensive also grows on a daily basis with the price of gold and oil rising in the face of a strengthening dollar. The price of WTI rose more than 6% intraday on Monday to hit the $130 level and we think it will move even higher.
The biggest risk this week, however, is on Thursday with the CPI data. The CPI is expected to accelerate to 0.7% month-over-month and to 7.8% YOY and there is a risk both figures could be hotter than expected. Regardless, with oil prices near record highs, there is no reason to think inflation will slow, and every reason to believe an economic slowdown is at hand.
