CNBC Daily Open brings investors up to speed on everything they need to know, no matter where they are. What you need to know todayThe bottom lineInvestors shrugged off Fed minutes that tilted hawkish and a hotter-than-expected PPI report to give markets a fourth consecutive winning session. Unfortunately, September's PPI report came in surprisingly hot. It's true the PPI report focuses on producer prices, while the Fed tends to scrutinize the consumer side of the equation more. Investors could be feeling defiant — or wanting to seize the opportunity to snap up stocks at relatively cheaper prices — after September's stocks slump.

☆ Gasoline, food drive US producer prices higher; core inflation cools
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-11 | by ( Lucia Mutikani | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +6 min

The so-called core PPI increased 2.8% on a year-on-year basis in September after climbing 2.9% in August. Wholesale goods prices increased 0.9%, with a 3.3% rise in the cost of energy products accounting for nearly three-quarters of the increase. Excluding the volatile food and energy components, core goods prices edged up 0.1% for the second straight month. This mostly reflected the normalization of supply chains, whose disruption fueled goods inflation in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Though core inflation is cooling, higher gasoline and food prices could hamper progress by raising the cost of other goods as well as causing consumers to expect inflation to rise.

Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, U.S., August 15, 2023. All three posted weekly losses, with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq registering their largest Friday-to-Friday percentage drops since March. On Thursday, the S&P 500 dipped below its 100-day moving average - a key support level - for the first time since March, Its failure to break above that level suggests the index is still under downward pressure. Among the 11 major sectors of the S&P 500, consumer discretionary (.SPLRCD) suffered the steepest percentage loss, while tech (.SPLRCT) and energy (.SPNY) were the only gainers. The S&P 500 posted one new 52-week high and 35 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 33 new highs and 321 new lows.

☆ US consumer spending accelerates; monthly inflation rates cooling

Consumer spending is being supported by a tight labor market, with other data showing first-time applications for unemployment benefits unexpectedly falling last week. "How long inflation can continue to come down with consumer spending this strong is an open question." When adjusted for inflation, consumer spending increased 0.6%, also the largest gain since January. The so-called real consumer spending rose 0.4% in June. The annual PCE inflation rates were lifted by a lower base of comparison last year.

Concentrated gains from immediate AI beneficiaries may be overpriced. These 50 stocks have been identified by Goldman Sachs are the longterm winners of AI adoption. So far this year, AI beneficiaries, mainly the mega-cap tech stocks, have contributed to much of the S&P 500's gains. But the sharp price rallies from a handful of technology stocks is making some fund managers uneasy. Goldman Sachs' note refers to this strategy as "The AI trade after the trade".

REUTERS/Nacho Doce/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsBENGALURU, Aug 21 (Reuters) - Chinese smartphone brand Honor will relaunch in India through a licensing deal with a local company and is aiming to start domestic manufacturing by early next year, its country head told Reuters. Honor had stopped selling its smartphones in India and reportedly retreated last year amid limited marketing budget and less prudent portfolio management. It will launch three variants of Honor phones in India, with the mid-ranged Number series expected by September. The company, wholly owned by local shareholders, will make, sell and service Honor-branded smartphones in India. Honor Tech aims to capture a 5% share of India's smartphone market by sales volumes in 2024, with a revenue of at least 100 billion rupees ($1.20 billion), Sheth said.

Technology investor Jonathan Curtis is bullish, though he's worried about AI stocks in late 2023. "But we're in an experimentation phase for AI — we're not in the revenue phase for AI." Although revenue and earnings for many companies connected to AI aren't substantial, the demand for workers with AI know-how certainly is, Curtis said. Still, while he keeps his focus on the long term, he acknowledged that valuations for AI stocks are ambitious, if not a bit crazy. And while the portfolio management director thinks investors should be wary of AI stocks' volatility in the near term, he made clear that AI is absolutely worth investing in for the long term.

Now, the inverse has happened as stocks rally, inflation steadily falls, and the labor market stays healthy. By any historical measure, this is still a really strong labor market," he said. "There's a lot of market concern — understandably so — about the sustainability of the strong labor market," Porter said.

Some said the downgrade to June's data meant the rise in the PPI last month was in line with expectations. In the 12 months through July, the PPI increased 0.8% after gaining 0.2% in June, boosted by a lower base of comparison last year. Excluding the volatile food and energy components, the so-called core goods prices were unchanged last month after falling 0.2% in June. In the 12 months through July, the so-called core PPI increased 2.7%, matching June's rise. As with all the July inflation data, the pick-up in the annual core PCE rate is due to unfavorable base effects.

Over the two trading days since, the market has tried to second-guess the pace at which the BOJ wants yields to move, while the BOJ has run special bond-buying operations to cap yields. "There is only a very, very small possibility of a sudden or very steep rise in JGB yields, because too many people want to buy the bonds. The maximum yield investors demanded was 0.6%, just 10 basis points (bps) above the previous policy cap. The promise of an extra 10-20 bps of JGB yield means 10-year JGBs hedged from dollars into yen can yield upwards of 6%.

No matter what the Fed seems to do, it's become a game of whack-a-mole — whether it be wages, home prices, creeping commodities, or Fed subsidies that are about to roar in. The idea that the Fed is driving the price of a house to further unaffordability has taken hold. The yield curve can't be wrong, so it remains a matter of time before Fed Chair Jerome Powell crashes the plane — and let's not forget that lurking, lurking election. And the multiple on those profits is going up not because of hideous expansion, but because of a triumph over the pandemic. As a subscriber to the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer, you will receive a trade alert before Jim makes a trade.

The principle is that nature is an unpaid worker providing services, like carbon sequestration, soil retention, water filtration, replenishing raw materials and more. It is providing an invisible subsidy to world economies. Take carbon pricing. Poor countries that have abundant natural resources are loaning their economic resources, like the carbon-sequestering value of their rainforests, to rich countries without compensation. Why add such a pricing structure when economies can exploit nature for free?

☆ What Is an Expense Ratio?

The easiest way to think of the expense ratio is the fee you pay to the portfolio manager of your mutual fund. When you invest in an ETF or mutual fund, the fund’s prospectus will state its expense ratio. How expense ratios impact investment returnsBefore you can look at how expense ratios impact your investment returns, it helps to understand what an average expense ratio looks like. While the average active stock fund’s expense ratio was 0.66% in 2022, the average bond fund charged just 0.44%, according to ICI. Remember: It should be easy to find the fund’s expense ratio.
