Ryan Nauman's Weekly Recap 02.19.19

By Ryan Nauman 19 Feb 2019

I have mentioned before that the U.S. consumer will play a very important role in order for the current U.S. expansion to continue. This expansion has been aided over the years with accommodative monetary and pro-growth fiscal policies. Now that interest rates are higher and pro-growth initiatives, like tax cuts, may be harder to pass due to a split congress, more pressure will be placed on consumers to keep the party going. However, this week’s soft retail sales report brings into question whether the consumer is in a position or willing to spend enough to keep the expansion going. I do believe the soft retail sales report is an outlier, as consumers had to contend with a myriad of bad news during the end of 2018. Even if it is an outlier, the U.S. will need some help from the world’s largest economies to keep the expansion going, however, I think the help may be hard to find.

Momentum was building on hopes progress was being made on the trade front between the U.S. and China. However, the optimism was subdued after President Trump’s national economic council director Larry Kudlow said a “sizable distance” still exists between the U.S. and China on trade negotiations. Technological and structural issues remain the big hurdles. Additionally, CNBC reported that a meeting between President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping is unlikely to take place prior to the March deadline. If no deal is struck by the fast approaching March 1st deadline, the tariffs on Chinese goods may jump to 25%.

The Federal Reserve unanimously left key policy rates unchanged and continued to stress its “patient” and “data driven” stance. The Fed statement removed "further gradual increases”, signaling a pause in rate hikes, and “autopilot” when referring to their balance sheet runoff. The change in the statement is in partly due to "muted inflation" and recent "global economic and financial developments." The Fed also changed their tone on the pace of U.S. economic growth from “strong” in December to a “solid” pace in early 2019. Here is a noteworthy statement from the Fed officials. “In light of global economic and financial developments and muted inflation pressures, the Committee will be patient as it determines what future adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate may be appropriate to support these outcomes.” Read more from Ryan Nauman's Weekly Recap and subscribe to have it delivered to your inbox each week!
