The business group’s consumer confidence index rose to 114.8 from a revised 108 in December. The present situation Index – a measure of current business and labor market conditions – surged to 161.3 from 147.2 last month. And it comes as the Federal Reserve is meeting in Washington to set interest rate policy, with economists forecasting the central bank will hold interest rates steady. But, he adds, “The Fed’s not going to change” at its first meeting of 2024 that began on Tuesday and do anything other than hold interest rates steady for the fourth meeting in a row. The index often leads other consumer sentiment surveys by two to three months, says Legal Shield CEO Warren Schlichting.

A majority of Federal Reserve officials believed at their September meeting that interest rates would need to remain “restrictive” until they are convinced inflation is headed firmly toward the central bank’s 2% annual target. Though there were differences as to whether more interest rate hikes would be needed, a majority did favor one more increase, minutes from the meeting released Wednesday show. Since then, market interest rates have surged, with the yields on U.S. Treasurys reaching 5%, although they have backed off in recent days following uncertainty over the war between Hamas and Israel. Still, the bond market does seem to be buying the “higher for longer” message from the Fed. “We think the Fed is done” raising interest rates, says Gene Goldman, chief investment officer at Cetera Investment Management.

"It's going to take more effort on the part of the Fed to get inflation on that sustainable downward path to 2%." She is among the minority of Fed policymakers who back in December thought they would need to lift the policy rate to 5.4% to stop inflation, while most believed 5.1% would suffice. Similarly none of the other Fed policymakers who spoke Friday, including the normally hawkish Governor Christopher Waller and St. Louis Fed President James Bullard, focused on the fresh inflation data to argue for a more muscular Fed response, though all continued to signal more rate hikes would be required. And traders largely erased what had been consistent bets on Fed rate cuts towards the end of the year, pricing in a year-end Fed policy rate of 5.26%. "It looks like the Fed will have to be more aggressive," said Yelena Shulyatyeva, an economist at BNP Paribas.

☆ Reddit-loving retail investors are making their chaotic presence felt again - and their risky behavior is fueling a stock rally that doesn't look sustainable

Bullish sentiment has returned in a big way among retail investors as they've started the year piling record amounts into stocks. Speculative bets are backSome of what retail investors are buying has troubled observers. Different from 2021, however, is that institutional and retail investors look like they're on the same team, at least to a noticeable degree. To JPMorgan's Kolanovic, retail investors' optimism foreshadows future weakness in the stock market, as weak hands get wiped out by volatility, similar to how 2022 played out. With the Fed still set to tighten monetary policy, retail investors' enthusiasm for risky assets could backfire like it did last year.

And yet, despite the dip this week, markets right now are brimming with bullishness — and Reddit-loving retail investors are partying like it's 2021. Retail investors are rebuffing Jerome Powell in piling into speculative assets. Remember, at the start of the pandemic, government stimulus and near-zero interest rates gave retail investors the perfect opportunity to lay down speculative bets. "With all of these headwinds, retail investors are jumping in on maybe some ill-conceived optimism," Goldman said. But economic data be damned, retail investors are still piling into the riskiest corners of the market.

Let's break down what to know ahead of the Federal Reserve's widely expected interest rate hike today. Today's rate hike decision probably won't surprise anyone, as markets have long priced in a 25-basis-point move for the February and March meetings. Goldman said he'll be watching for three things in Powell's speech:Powell will talk tough: "He's going to push back on financial markets. In any case, according to Reinking, unless Powell musters up some serious aggression, any messaging will ultimately fall upon deaf ears.

☆ Amazon's confident economists are the antidote to predictions of doom for the tech industry in 2023

A study from Amazon economists estimates a 30% chance of a US recession in the next 6 months. If there is a recession, Amazon is banking on a few factors to avoid much of the disruption. And yet, Amazon's economists reckon this won't affect the company as much as other businesses. If a recession does occur, Amazon economists don't think the company will endure much pain. Much of the economic pain in the tech industry is concentrated in unprofitable tech companies that can't stomach more interest rate hikes.

☆ Toys, washing machines, doughnuts: 10 items that actually got cheaper last month
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-16 | by ( Mike Winters | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

But the price of some items actually declined in the last month, from washing machines to jewelry to doughnuts. Inflation has cooled from a year-over-year June peak of 9.1% to 7.7% in October, so declines are expected for some items. Given the slowing economy and widespread concerns of a recession, price drops for high-end luxury items like smartphones and jewelry are to be expected, too, he says. While this is good news for shoppers, most items with price declines in October are still more expensive than they were last year. For instance, prices for washers and dryers declined by 7.8% last month, but they are still up 1.5% compared to last October.
