21:58Now PlayingDiMartino Booth with Kitco News — MOVE Index Warning: What Breaks First - Credit, Stocks or Gold?
Six dissents in September? Danielle DiMartino Booth joins Jeremy Szafron to break down July’s PPI 0.9 percent surprise, tariff-driven services inflation, and whether the Fed could split over rate cuts at the next FOMC. We dig into the PPI–CPI gap (including BLS changes), Scott Bessent’s “neutral 150–175 bps lower” argument, labor revisions pointing to net job loss since 2024, and how to position across bonds, equities, gold, and the dollar now. Danielle also flags one early-warning signal: the MOVE index.
Key topics:
-PPI up 0.9 percent, services up 1.1 percent: tariffs, pass-through, and margin pressure
-PPI versus CPI: methodology shifts, shelter, and why the gap matters
-Bessent’s neutral debate: 150–175 bps lower and the case for or against a 50 bps cut
-Fed dynamics: independence and dissent risk at the September meeting
-Labor reality: continuing claims, delinquencies, and revisions since 2024
-Tariffs: revenue versus growth drag, wholesalers and retail margins, earnings risk
-Positioning: duration calls, sector tilts, defensives versus tech risk
-Gold above 3,300 dollars, miners versus bullion, and a strong-dollar contrarian setup
-One indicator to watch first: the MOVE index and credit stress
