Has the Fed ever moved pre-emptively? They certainly have made strong moves in the past but the old Wall Street adage that &#8220;nobody knows anything&#8221; applies to the Fed too! Huge earnings week will keep us busy as we parse what companies are saying about the last quarter and more importantly, what they&#8217;re saying about the coming quarter and year. We expect that more companies will be talking about price elasticity/inelasticity than in the past.</p><div><hr></div><h3>Recent Thematic Signals</h3><p>Just in case you missed a recent

We&#8217;ve all been dealing with recent tariff turmoil but have markets moved on from reacting to every White House social media post as if it is setting policy? Also, will increased pressure on Powell have any effect on either Fed policy (Spoiler Alert: No) or his ability to retain his post through the prescribed term? I would say &#8220;No&#8221; but given the White House&#8217;s penchant for asking for forgiveness instead of permission, it will be interesting to see what happens.</p><div><hr></div><h3>Recent

Chris explains why the market will be focusing not just quarterly results and guidance from <strong>Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Meta (META), </strong>and<strong> Microsoft (MSFT)</strong> this week but their capital spending comments as well. While the market will be closely watching those earnings, we discuss why comments from container port operators and air freight managers suggest a more ominous earnings season for retailers ahead. Those same comments raise the likelihood we&#8217;re going to see inflation remain a problem for the Fed. </p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TFCq!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fed209879-3daa-4ac4-b2ad-fa879c21933d_820x972.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TFCq!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fed209879-3daa-4ac4-b2ad-fa879c21933d_820x972.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TFCq!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fed209879-3daa-4ac4-b2ad-fa879c21933d_820x972.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TFCq!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fed209879-3daa-4ac4-b2ad-fa879c21933d_820x972.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TFCq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fed209879-3daa-4ac4-b2ad-fa879c21933d_820x972.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TFCq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fed209879-3daa-4ac4-b2ad-fa879c21933d_820x972.png" width="820" height="972" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ed209879-3daa-4ac4-b2ad-fa879c21933d_820x972.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:972,&quot;width&quot;:820,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TFCq!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fed209879-3daa-4ac4-b2ad-fa879c21933d_820x972.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TFCq!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fed209879-3daa-4ac4-b2ad-fa879c21933d_820x972.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TFCq!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fed209879-3daa-4ac4-b2ad-fa879c21933d_820x972.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TFCq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fed209879-3daa-4ac4-b2ad-fa879c21933d_820x972.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><div><hr></div><h3>Recent Thematic Signals</h3><p>Just in case you missed a recent communique:</p><p><strong><a href="https://tematica.substack.com/p/china-and-the-european-union-push">China &amp;
