An influx of economic data was released, much of it stale due to the recent protracted government shutdown, supporting views that the Federal Open Market Committee will reduce its key Fed funds target rate by 25 basis points at its upcoming monetary policy meeting.
The Commerce and Labor departments issued September reports on retail sales and producer prices, respectively, which showed spending softened and that inflation continued to cool.
“Of course (the data) reflects September and we’re in November, but nevertheless the trend seems to be that inflation is not worsening, and that opens the door to a December rate cut,” said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities in New York.
More recent data from the Conference Board showed a worse-than-expected deterioration of consumer confidence, with near-term expectations tumbling nearly 12%.
“Going into the holiday season, I don’t think this bodes well,” Cardillo added. “(It’s) another point that supports the need to lower rates in December.”

That probability has gained strength in recent days following dovish remarks by New York Fed President John Williams and Fed Governor Christopher Waller, among others.

While softer-than-expected retail sales data and the dour consumer confidence reading raised concerns over the health of the consumer, who is responsible for about 70% of the U.S. economy, a smattering of generally positive retail earnings helped send the S&P 500 retail index (.SPXRT), opens new tab up 2.2%.
