Morgan Stanley and Bank of America report robust Q4 earnings

Big Bank earnings are rolling out this week, with Morgan Stanley (MS) and Bank of America (BAC) more than doubling in quarter four after a spike in dealmaking. Mac Syke, Gabelli Funds portfolio manager, joins Morning Brief to discuss earnings season and the banks’ surge in quarter four. Syke discusses the favorable environment for banks today. "We now have a normalized curve, so instead of the inversion [there is] a pretty normalized real rate," he explains. "We have regulations that are going to be easier, so that boosts M&A." Syke also adds that the "consumer activity has been very good." Additionally, Syke points to how Bank of America's trading underperformed compared to rivals but says repricing of legacy investments is "going forward over the next several years" to boost net interest income. Watch the video above to hear Syke's full insights on how these factors are shaping the future of Big Bank earnings.

CPI steady at 2.9%, Fed could pause interest rate hikes

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that December’s CPI remained steady at 2.9% year over year, while core CPI — excluding food and energy — came in at 3.2% annually, which was less than expected. Aditya Bhave, senior US economist at Bank of America (BAC) Securities, joins Market Domination to discuss the impact of this data, noting that while it’s positive, the Federal Reserve "is going to be on hold moving forward." "What this report does, and it is undoubtedly good news ... it trims the tail risks of a hike," Bhave explains. "We have not been in the re-acceleration camp; we've been in the sticky inflation camp." Bhave emphasizes the importance of quarter one data and admits he feels "comfortable" with inflation being stuck around 2.5%, noting that it's where the Fed says "we’ll be at the end of this year as well." Additionally, Bhave notes that he doesn't see interest rate cuts unless inflation decreases faster, particularly in rents and owners' equivalent rent (OER).
