Breakfast Bites - Everyone's in the same trade

Small caps gain momentum; Oil could stay higher; ECB speaker hint at easing

Rise and shine everyone.

 

The CPI revisions showed lower numbers for December than previously reported. Not only this, but most banks are now revising their core CPI numbers lower for Tuesdayโ€™s Inflation Report. Markets took all of this as a good sign and traded in risk-on mode. The S&P 500 continued to make record highs in the face of rising yields and the Russell 2000 small-cap index also broke out on Friday.

 

Some of this momentum is set to continue as everyone seems to be in the same trade.

 

But, weโ€™re still wary of small caps given they are more sensitive to rates with weaker margins and higher debt.

 

US Equity Futures are flat this morning after Fridayโ€™s surge. Yields are lower across the curve with the US Dollar weaker. Gold, Bitcoin, and Oil are all lower.

 

Markets were closed in China, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam, mainly due to the Lunar New Year. European markets are mostly higher except for the UK.

 

Itโ€™s a quiet day for macro data. The big event is tomorrow with the CPI release.
