The Household Squeeze

Households are facing slowing income growth and rising inflation, a combination which is likely to keep real demand weak right at a point when growth expectations are at highs.

Tariffs are throwing a 40bln bucket of cold water per month on the "Run It Hot" thesis, even at current levels. More from my recent convo on CNBC Overtime with Jon Fortt.

The Chinese economy is hanging in there even with the heightened US trade war.

Even as US pressure ratcheted up, hard economic measures across production, demand, investment and housing aren't showing signs of much stress.

A bid for stocks here is a bet on extraordinarily strong growth ahead, just as timely measures are indicating a pretty clear slowing as the Embargo starts to gum up the economy.

While the stock market is priced like the last month was just a fever dream, the reality is the current tariffs are still 20pts higher than where they were a month ago, there is an effective embargo on Chinese imports, and no trade deals are on the horizon.

Despite all the noise this week, it seems the Embargo remains firmly in place.

For businesses across the US, it's "Iceberg, right ahead."

Trump's comments tonight make clear Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tipped a select group folks about the admin's planned policy shift toward China at a JP Morgan event last night.

Seems Bessent has forgotten that age old lesson about laying down with dogs.

The thing about delaying auto tariffs a month is that, guess what, you're still going to be dealing with the Canadian/Mexican response, and both have significant leverage. Also: delaying a month does nothing to solve the problem of totally integrated supply chains.

It's an outrage that in the Cayman Islands I can incorporate a company without any proof of ID. I can put any old crap in the incorporation documents. Nobody checks.

Actually I fibbed. That's the UK. The Cayman Islands has had strict ID/verification rules for *years*.

While the US economy has significant momentum coming into the start of the new admin these efforts are likely to create a drag over the next 6-12m.

With growth only running at 2-3%, any further escalation of the trade war from these announced policies risks a material slowdown.

Market expectations of future inflation are rising to highs just as underlying inflation momentum is slowing sharply.

Without a pretty extreme rise in tariffs, current medium-term expectations look too elevated.

The new admin suggestion they will follow through on 25% MEX & CAN tariffs created a ripple in markets late yesterday.

While the moves were modest, USD rallied, stocks and bonds sold off, and gold rose, giving some market-based direction on possible tariff impacts.

The ECB has abandoned their inflation-only focus in favor of policy shifts pro-actively supporting growth, particularly for depressed Germany.

A big change in their decision making framework reinforced by their continued cuts given conditions.

US inflation is stuck above the Fed's mandate, despite all the rhetoric and hope otherwise.

And a look across a broad set of inflation data suggests not much progress is being made in recent months and if anything signs of some upward pressures.

The rise in inflation expectations has drawn attention, but it looks to be driven by partisan views, not economic reality.

Corporate based expectations remain stable, and break-evens priced in the bond markets remains in the range of the last couple years.
