The headline release during the week ahead will be April’s consumer price index. Inflation is a hot topic on Wall Street and rightfully so. Inflation jumped to 2.6% in March and expectations are for inflation to remain elevated in the near term. The question remains, will higher inflation force the hand of the Federal Reserve to tighten their policies despite recent softness in the labor market? As for earnings, I will be interested to hear how car manufactures, Honda and Toyota have handled the shortage of semiconductors while the market for cars remains strong. Finally, Disney will be a widely watched as their theme parks reopen and streaming services remain popular.

EPFR - fund flow & allocations data
Coming into 2021 investors were looking to Asia to lead the global rebound. Between December 2020 and the end of January 2021, investors pulled $55 billion from EPFR-tracked European and North American Equity Fund groups while steering over $18 billion into Asia Pacific and Asia ex-Japan Equity Funds. Since the beginning of the second quarter, however, over $36 billion has flowed into North American and Europe Equity Funds compared to just $2 billion for all Asian groups. A key driver of this shift is the American consumer. With an improving employment picture garnished by a series of federal stimulus checks, retail sales in the US during April were up over 20% year-on-year. Investor cash is following the trend. US Equity Funds posted their 12th inflow in the past 13 weeks and flows into Consumer Goods Sector Funds hit a seven week high as that group extended its longest inflow streak since EPFR started tracking them in 4Q00. Furthermore, retail redemptions from US Money Market Funds are gathering momentum, suggesting more fuel on the consumption fires as summer approaches.

EPFR - fund flow & allocations data
With the success of some vaccine rollouts, the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic appears to be over, at least in the developed world. But, behind the triumphant headlines, the world is still faced with a lot of economic ground to make up. There is much to try and make whole. But young people will suffer some of the worst consequences if the policies aimed at healing the scars of the recent recessions do not tackle the educational costs they have been saddled with over the past 14 months...

What the week ahead lacks in big-name earnings releases, it makes up for it in quantity, as it’s one of the busiest weeks for earnings releases this cycle. As for economic data, all eyes will be in the April jobs report. The pace of the economic recovery has been strong, and the labor market has gained momentum recently as vaccinations increase and businesses get back to “normal”. However, juiced up unemployment benefits have kept jobseekers on the sidelines rather than looking for lower paying jobs which will keep unemployment numbers artificially high...
