Daily Monitor Datanotes Chartbook

8 May 2025 US Monitor An unhurried, uncertain FOMC likely to remain inactive in June

  • The FOMC sees little cost in waiting to discover which side of its dual mandate needs most attention.
  • A lot more tariff-sensitive data and news will come between the June and July meetings; the FOMC will wait.
  • BED data point to a 20K fall in the birth-death model’s contribution to monthly payroll growth ahead.

7 May 2025 US Monitor FOMC to remain non-committal on the 2025 rate outlook

  • Markets have relaxed and the economy is holding up, so the FOMC needn’t signal a June easing today.
  • The FOMC will have two more CPI reports and news on reciprocal tariffs if it waits until July.
  • The latest trade data suggest pre-tariff stockpiling was very limited outside of a couple of sectors.

6 May 2025 US Monitor Lower oil prices will provide very little boost to the economy at large

  • The 20% drop in oil prices since early April probably will provide no real boost to the overall economy...
  • ...the lift to consumers’ real incomes will be offset by weaker spending in energy-intensive areas.
  • The ISM services prices index jumped in April, but other survey indicators suggest no cause for alarm. 

PM Datanote: US ISM Manufacturing Survey, April

Headline index steady in April; but a lot of pain lies ahead.

PM Datanote: US Advance Goods Trade, March

Trade and inventories data leave a negative Q1 GDP print looking far more likely.

PM Datanote: US Personal Income & Spending / Pending Home Sales

Growth in services spending has slowed only modestly, but a sharper decline lies ahead.

PM Datanote: US Advance GDP, Q1

Tariffs distort the numbers, but underlying growth was already slowing in Q1.

PM Datanote: US ECI / ADP Employment

The downshift in labor cost inflation will resume, soon.

PM Datanote: US ECI / ADP Employment

The downshift in labor cost inflation will resume, soon.

2 May 2025 US Monitor Claims boosted by school holiday timing, but the trend will rise soon

  • Last week's jump in initial claims was entirely due to the timing of school holidays in New York state. 
  • Leading indicators, however, are continuing to deteriorate; layoffs in logistics are just a couple weeks off.
  • The April ISM manufacturing survey points to a plunge in output and higher core goods prices.

PM Datanote: US JOLTS, March

The post-election pick-up in labor demand has fully unwound.

1 May 2025 US Monitor The Q1 fall in GDP misleads, but weak growth lies ahead this year

  • The 0.3% drop in headline Q1 GDP exaggerates how rapidly the economy was slowing...
  • ...Consumers' spending on services and non-equipment business investment kept rising in Q1.
  • The tariff shock, however, will be much more intense in a few months' time; stagnation lies ahead.

30 April 2025 US Monitor A gargantuan drag from net trade points to a fall in Q1 GDP

  • An unprecedented surge in the goods trade deficit in Q1 points to a huge drag on GDP growth.
  • We think GDP fell by about 1%, but total private sector demand likely still rose at a healthy rate.
  • The looser labor market points to much lower wage growth and underlying services inflation ahead. 

29 April 2025 US Monitor Slow GDP growth in Q1 probably is a sign of things to come

  • We expect GDP growth of 0.5% in Q1, although big questions hang over net trade and inventories.
  • GDP likely will broadly stagnate over the rest of this year, as tariffs hit real incomes and investment.
  • Shortages of products made in China are unlikely to emerge in stores until July.

PM Datanote: US Durable Goods Orders, March

Equipment investment set to slump after a solid Q1.

PM Datanote: US Weekly Jobless Claims, April 19

No preemptive layoffs by tariff-afflicted firms, but cuts are likely when sales struggle.

PM Datanote: US S&P Global Composite PMI, April

Slowing, not careering towards recession.
