Market Drivers:

Markets gained today, defying higher-than-expected PPI data.

Producer prices climbed 7.4% year-on-year in November, topping economists’ expectations of 7.2%. Markets initially sold off with the expectation of more aggressive rate hikes from the Fed; however, they pared initial losses, with European markets closing higher.

Markets will be looking for further clues on Tuesday when November’s US CPI report is published, giving greater detail as to the stickiness of inflation. Markets remain very in conflict regarding the narrative. With fears of recession a primary driver during this week, higher-than-expected PPI data can suggest that economy is not falling as rapidly as many may have expected.
