Good MorningEquities slipped again on Wednesday with the FOMC’s Beige Book in the market’s focus. The Beige Book revealed improving conditions but also a growing uncertainty spurred by the resurgence of COVID-19 as well as mounting inflation. The key takeaway from the report is that the FOMC is still on track to begin tapering sometime this year.
The market may get another clue as to when that will happen on Friday with the release of the PPI data. The consensus is for producer price increases to moderate from a 1.0% monthly gain posted in August to a slower 0.6% gain in September. Even so, producer level inflation is rising quickly and will lead to higher consumer prices down the road. If the PPI comes in hotter than expected the FOMC could begin the taper as soon as the September meeting in two weeks’ time.
