Retail sales, Big Bank earnings, Bessent hearing: 3 Things

US stock futures (ES=F, NQ=F, YM=F) pull back from this morning's session highs as Wall Street digests weekly jobs claims data and December's retail sales, which missed estimates of 0.6% and rose by only 0.4% month-over-month. Earnings season keeps on rolling for the financials sector, with major banks Morgan Stanley (MS) and Bank of America (BAC) reporting their fourth quarter results Thursday morning. Read up on Big Bank earnings as the industry looks ahead to the incoming Trump administration in the latest Morning Brief column. Lastly, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for secretary of the US Department of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, will be heading to Capitol Hill today to face questioning by lawmakers as part of his confirmation hearing. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Ma.) has reportedly prepped over 180 questions for Bessent ahead of Bessent's confirmation vote.

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).

2 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks With Seemingly Impenetrable Moats That Can Have Their Palantir Moment in 2025

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already transforming many industries, but not all tech companies will benefit equally. The competitive moats established by Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) could be significant as AI grows, resulting in impressive gains similar to how AI darling Palantir Technologies has benefited recently. There are no guarantees that these two companies will see their share prices rise by more than 800% like Palantir's have over the past two years, but their competitive positions are certainly setting them up for success.
