Как данные по инфляции в США повлияют на рынок? | ФРС будет повышать ставки? | Freedom Finance

Overview

The broadcast focuses on how U.S. inflation data and renewed tensions around the Strait of Hormuz (Armuz) may affect markets—particularly expectations for Fed interest-rate policy and near-term asset price moves.

1) Renewed escalation around the Strait of Hormuz and its oil-market implications

• The hosts discuss Trump’s latest move: the U.S. will allow passage through the Strait for everyone except Iran, while charging a 20% fee/duty on vessels exporting goods that pass through the strait.
• The macroeconomist argues that, despite the politically loud news, oil prices have not reacted as aggressively as the escalation might suggest.

Why oil may be reacting less than expected

• Market pricing is driven more by objective supply-demand realities than political headlines.
• There is still an oil market shortage:
  • Demand is being met by drawing down stocks, which are at multi-year lows.
• However, market participants appear to believe the U.S. will resolve the shipping disruption quickly, preventing a prolonged shortage.

Resulting oil-price framing

• Oil is expected to rise only modestly relative to the magnitude of the political risk (a point of reference mentioned is $85 WTI).
• A sharper macro-relevant stress threshold is framed around $120–140 per barrel:
  • Risks above that band are not expected to derail macro conditions unless oil moves well beyond it.

2) June U.S. inflation report: key numbers and why it matters for Fed rates

The core theme is that inflation came in better than expected, reducing the urgency for Fed tightening.

Key CPI figures discussed

• Headline CPI (overall inflation): -0.4% month-on-month
  • Versus -0.1% expected
• Fuel component: declined (linked in the discussion to falling oil/gasoline prices)
• Core inflation (ex-fuel): 0.0% month-on-month
  • Versus +0.2% expected (and some higher-consensus expectations)

Interpretation

• Housing prices rose less than expected.
• Several service categories (e.g., medical, transportation, education, communications) showed deflation, offsetting earlier increases.

Market implications for Fed policy

• The speakers argue the report undermines expectations that the Fed will raise rates as early as July.
• They note that rate-hike pricing in futures moved toward a July hike, but characterize that shift as overreaction/noise rather than a direct reflection of the data.
• Baseline view: the Fed is more likely to hold rates rather than raise them again soon, assuming oil does not spike.

3) Equity market outlook (S&P 500) after the CPI print

The inflation result is portrayed as a positive catalyst.

What the hosts expect

• The market should rebound as:
  • shorts unwind, and
  • pessimists adjust positions.
• Expectations include new highs or consolidation near highs in the S&P 500, framed as a technical confirmation signal.

Drivers for broader “risk-on” behavior

• Lower inflation supports real consumer spending, viewed as important for the second half of the year.
• If bond yields normalize—mentioned as 10-year yields around 4.5–4.6%—that would further support equities.
• The market recently rallied but was narrow (AI-related leadership); the hosts hope upcoming results broaden participation across sectors.

4) Reporting season: bank results look solid but shares fall

The broadcast also covers early earnings season:

• Major banks reported (e.g., Wells Fargo, JPMorgan, Citigroup, and other referenced names).
• Presenters say:
  • earnings were good, but
  • stocks fell pre-trading, suggesting the move may reflect company guidance (forward outlook for next quarter).

Example cited

• JPMorgan beat earnings expectations, but next-quarter earnings expectations were lower than the current quarter’s level—potentially explaining the negative reaction.
