Chartbook Weekly Monitor Samuel Tombs

12 May 2025 US Monitor April CPI set to show inflation had been tamed, before the tariff shock

  • We look for a below-consensus 0.2% gain in the April headline CPI; the egg price surge likely unwound…
  • …But rising vehicle prices and a partial rebound in hotel room rates likely drove a 0.3% rise in the core CPI.
  • It's too soon to see major tariff-related price hikes, and weak demand suggests airline fares stayed lower.

5 May 2025 US Monitor Uncertainty over tariffs hasn't killed jobs yet, but their imposition will hurt

  • Tariff uncertainty supported payrolls in April, by temporarily boosting the logistics and retail sectors...
  • ...But hiring intentions have weakened and a sharp decline in activity in the logistics sector is in train.
  • We’re pushing back our forecast for Fed easing to July, from June, but we still expect 75bp this year.

28 April 2025 US Monitor Payroll Payroll growth is unlikely to have slowed decisively as soon as April

  • We look for a 150K increase in April payrolls and a stable unemployment rate at 4.2%…
  • …Job postings, initial claims and the employment indexes of business surveys were little changed.
  • A calendar quirk will depress April average hourly earnings, but the trend is slowing.

14 April 2025 US Monitor Consumers are shell-shocked, but spending indicators remain mixed

  • People are the most downbeat about the outlook for 45 years and are very worried about losing their job.
  • Timely spending and borrowing data, however, continue to run above levels consistent with recession.
  • Tariff-related inflation will be milder than people fear; Fed policy easing will shore up sentiment too.

7 April 2025 US Monitor Payroll growth will slow, but it's too strong for the Fed to ease in May

  • The stock price drawdown is historically consistent with a 1% fall in payrolls, but slow gains are more likely.
  • Most services firms have little exposure to tariffs; leading indicators of hiring are weak, not on the floor.
  • The healthcare sector will remain a jobs juggernaut; falling manufacturing payrolls will drag modestly.
