Dollar Dumped To 4-Mo Lows, Bitcoin & Big-Caps Pumped Ahead Of CPI Tsunami
Cooler than expected headline and core PPI (dovish for monetary policy hopefuls) trumped the margin-compression (bearish for corporate profitability and therefore stocks) aspect of the producer prices data this morning exaggerating a weak-dollar/BTFD stocks trend that emerged overnight.
The ‘cool’ PPI knocked the ‘inflation-surprise’-macro-index down to its lowest since February… but at the same time ‘growth-surprise’ data has also stagnated significantly…

But, it was the dollar index that stood out today, tanking to post-payrolls plunge lows…

… dumped to its lowest in four months, breaking below its 200DMA…

Interestingly, as the dollar tanked, it was a buy-all-the-things day with bonds (prices) up, stocks up, and crypto up; but of particular note was weakness in oil (well, Iran hasn’t blown anything to shit today), and gold (flat - at record highs – as WW3 appears to be postponed… for now).
Nasdaq was the biggest winner on the day (surging 2.5%), but all the majors were up strong today…
Seems like we could have seen this one coming…

Finally, for context, today’s tumble in the dollar was NOT driven by a resumption of the yen-carry trade…

…of course tomorrow’s CPI print will decide which way yen breaks out.
