Fed Yanks on the Reins (February 10 Market Recap)

February 11, 2023

Fed Yanks on the Reins (February 10 Market Recap)

Indices 

  • Dow 33,869, -57 or –0.17%. 
  • Nasdaq 11,718, -288 or –2.40%. 
  • S&P 4,090, -46 or -1.11%. 
  • USD10Y 3.532%, +21.2bp or +6.0%. 
  • WTI Crude $79.76/bbl, +$6.53 or +8.92%. 

Fed Yanks on the Reins

All three indices traded down slightly this week with the outperforming (YTD) Nasdaq taking the brunt of the selling. Fed officials pulled tightly on the reins mid-week trying to slow enthusiasm for risk assets after Fed Chair Powell repeated that disinflation was happening during a speech on Tuesday. Though he repeated that more rate hikes would be necessary, the market rallied after his speech. As a result, multiple Fed officials gave hawkish comments during their previously scheduled speeches the following day on Wednesday and achieved their desired result of cooling the markets.

Earning continued and there were a few surprises. Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) which since the beginning of the pandemic, has seemingly had the unlimited ability to pass on their increasing input costs to their customers finally missed both their quarterly earnings and revenue estimates. Disney (DIS) beat their numbers, announced 7,000 job cuts and a reorganization of the company into three units; Parks, ESPN, and Entertainment (streaming and media). Considering the consumer spending shift from goods to services, it was surprising that Expedia (EXPE), a travel booking company, missed their numbers. However, the biggest miss of the week belongs to ride share company, Lyft (LYFT). Lyft missed their revenue numbers and was taken to the woodshed to the tune of –36%.

With nearly 70% of the S&P 500 reporting, around 70% of those companies beat analyst expectations for the quarter. That’s a smaller share of companies surpassing expectations than the three-year historical average of 79%, according to The Earnings Scout.

Next Week 

Earnings season continues to wind down, but the focus will be squarely on this week’s latest inflation data: Tuesday’s Consumer Price Index and Thursday’s Producer Price Index. Manufacturing data will also be forthcoming from New York and Philadelphia.

  • Monday – January NY Fed 1 and 5-year Inflation Expectations.

  • Thursday – Initial Jobless Claims, January Producer Price Index (PPI), February Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index. Earnings: Applied Materials (AMAT), DoorDash (DASH).
