Uh has to do with jobs. We're gon na get a jobs report on april 1st, it's the first friday of the month, which is usually when we get a jobs report unless of course, we had a short month prior to that, then they kicked the jobs report back a week, but this month We will have the jobs report on april 1st. What you're, looking here or for here is the month over month, change in pay for people higher pay for people on a month over month.

Change is a good thing, but not good in terms of the potential for an inflationary spiral. Last month, this came in at a month over month change of absolutely zero that his wages were flat for the month of february. What about march, we'll see so write that one down april 1st, the next one that you want to pick that you want to track, comes out uh, and it should probably i'll go in order from now on the next one that you should track is actually on March 28th - and this is retail inventories that is actually a monday release. It comes out monday at 8, 30 a.m.

Eastern time and you'll have wholesale inventories. At the same time generally, what we're expecting here is to see a slight increase in wholesale inventories. This is the amount of product that wholesalers have and we're seeing sort of this kathy woody and style of increase of inventories partially because a more inventories are in transit and partially because b, maybe we're starting to see a backlog of inventories in certain sectors that could Eventually, lead to deflationary pressures, we'll see, retail inventories are expected to come in lower than last month. At one point, four percent huge deviation in either of these are going to be implications for inflation, higher inventories, less inflation, lower inventories, more inflation, then uh we're going to be seeing jolts job openings.

We expect this to come in strong march 29th at 10 a.m. Eastern time, all times from now on will be eastern we're expecting 11 million job openings, which is ridiculous. Uh there i'm gon na skip mortgages and real estate, because really real estate is an entirely different video that we should be talking about, and as mortgage rates go up, we are going to see downward pressure on real estate prices. How much they come down will likely be uh limited just based on the amount of demand that is pent up, but we're going to focus on stocks here and the big one is going to be the gdp report for the first quarter.

This is actually going to be a big day and it comes out march 30th, which is kind of weird, because the quarter is not technically over yet but uh annualized gdp comes out and we're expecting this to come in at seven percent uh as an annualized rate Of gdp change so we'll keep an eye on how our gdp growth is moving, and the federal reserve, of course, is expecting gdp to fall as low as 2.9 by the end of the year, the more gdp declines, the more concerns will rise about a potential recession And, of course, in a recession, the last thing you want to own are stocks, so anything that indicates the potential of a recession coming is is definitely a problem. We're going to get a pce, which is the personal consumption expenditures measure. This is the federal reserve's measure of inflation. This, in my opinion, not so terribly important since generally, most uh most of the stock market seems to react to cpi, though this will come out on the 31st.

Then, on the first, as i mentioned, we'll have the employment reading we'll also two days prior to the first get an adp employment report. That employment report is the private payrolls changes. It is a private company that does this. It usually gives you a little bit of a heads up in terms of what you might expect to see in the official unemployment report that friday, but generally the one people are going to focus on is friday april 1..

The one that comes out at 8 15 a.m, eastern time on uh wednesday, is generally generally has less of an impact on the market. Then the next thing that we're going to probably be paying attention to before we get to cpi, which comes out soon soon, will probably have to do with the ism services index. The reason we're going to be looking at this, which comes out on april 5th, is because we believe that if inflation in goods goes down, one of the things that could keep inflation going would be inflation and services, and so a more booming services economy could actually Help keep inflation higher, which would of course, not be good for the market, so we'll keep an eye on that expectation is 58 and the number over 50 is growth that comes out april 5th at 10 a.m. Eastern time, then we get cpi we're going to be looking for that cpi month over month, information survey estimates are not in yet for april or for march rather, but this is the cpi report that is probably going to be the worst one that we've seen honestly Like ever, this could end up being one of the peak reports, because it's after the war has begun uh.

It should fully reflect a full month of high gasoline prices in in at the pumps. Remember that cpi likes to divide a month into three equal segments. Take an average price of those three snapshots average it together, and then you get an estimate for energy style inflation. Well, remember: the invasion into ukraine happened february 24th, so you're really only getting a ladder snapshot there so in other words, you're expecting higher inflation.

In that march report, especially food and commodity prices, right wheat neon input cost. Some of these input costs are going to show up in producer price inflation, but those could trickle into consumer price inflation, speaking of which, though producer price inflation will be able to analyze. That report it's going to be a busy week, the very next day on april 13th, and what you're looking for in both these reports is going to be the month over month change how how ugly was inflation from this war? Did we go from point eight percent to one percent and if you think about, if we went from point eight percent to one percent, all you have to do to annualize it to get sort of an annualized speed as you multiply it by twelve. So we get a one percent read on a month over month.

That's an annualized rate of 12 inflation, that's gon na get scary and that'll that'll get priced in the market, so you'll you'll see some pain. Here we don't actually have the federal reserve. In april we uh, we won't be hearing from the fed until the beginning of may. Thank goodness, we are going to get uh consumer uh sort of the preliminary read on consumer sentiment and inflation expectations.

You get this twice a month. The preliminary in the final we'll get the preliminary on april 14th that'll come out at 10 a.m. Eastern time, then we'll get some real estate statistics around the 21st and 22nd, but more important. I personally think, is going to be that consumer confidence figure that we'll get by april 26th and we want to see some confidence start getting restored and then we'll be at inventories again by the end of april on april 27th, at 8 30 a.m.

But no big fed events planned for april. If we got anything from the fed, it would be a shocker and and think about. If we got any kind of shocker from the fed, it would essentially be the equivalent of a rug poll. That would be very, very bad for markets.

I mean you could see a dow jones down 10 day very quickly. We don't actually expect that. I would say the real big ones to pay attention to for april. Coming up here, jobs report.

We want to see wage price spiral or no so far the answer has been no cpi. How bad is that month, over month, going to be ppi producer price inflation? How bad is that month, over month going to be and and then of course, expectations are always very important to measure what's happening with inflation expectations? You really want to watch that that's a big deal for the federal reserve. Inventories, in my opinion, do matter as well, because they could be a little bit of a leading indicator in terms of what you might expect for future inflation. So these are some of our big catalyst dates coming up for april.

We also, though - and this is important to consider - have a tax filing deadline, mid-april and oftentimes during tax filing time. You tend to have less buying pressure and potentially more selling pressure, because people need money to pay their tax bill unless, of course, they go on extension, although, even though, technically, if they go on extension, they still have to make their payment. Some people might choose to pay the penalty rate about six percent annualized per year, check that with your cpa, but anyway uh. There is a potential for a lack of buying pressure and increased selling pressure in the middle of the month, which unfortunately, is going to be right around the time of cpi.

So you could end up seeing a rough period of time somewhere between that april 8th period. Maybe april 15th, just slightly before and after that, cpi data, though usually most of your pain, tends to come before catalyst events. So if i had to look at a calendar and and sort of guess, i would say that we're somewhat i'm not expecting drama coming out of the jobs report. On april 1st, i think - and this week we had a lot of fed speak, which it was really supposed to be a quiet week.

This week i would say the week of the 28th to april 1st should be relatively benign, especially if we get a good jobs report on the first, which i expect. We will then i'll expect that between the fourth and the eighth, things will also be pretty relaxed. So we could be setting up for a nice potential two-week rally fingers crossed, though you're going to start getting some fears priced in for high inflation, probably around the 7th or 8th. When we start thinking about oh well, the cpi report comes out on the 12th next week, which would be tuesday april 12th and uh yeah and then ppi the very next day.

Yeah people are going to want to wait for that, because it'll send signals to the market about what the federal reserve should do. If, let's just say, inflation came in at some ridiculous level, so ridiculously high and that inflation was broad-based, where it wasn't just isolated to energies or commodities related to war, then that's a sign that inflation is getting entrenched and the fed might have to come out and Pull a dirty on us that is either a dirty rug, pool unexpectedly or just straight up in our face on their next fomc meeting, which again is not until the beginning of may so goodbye j pal take a month off.
