#StreetAccount Update: March preliminary S&P PMIs point to stagflationary trend; March Richmond Fed Index beats: • Flash March S&P Global US Composite PMI of 51.4 vs consensus 51.7 and February's final 51.9; PMI Manufacturing of 52.4 vs consensus 51.7 and February's final 51.6; PMI Services of 51.1 vs consensus 52.0 and February's final 51.7. • Report noted US business activity growth slowed to an 11-month low as weaker new orders and a spike in prices followed the outbreak of war in the Middle East (report contains some first impressions of Iran impacts). • Input prices spiked on higher energy costs from the war, pushing overall input costs to a 10-month high and driving the largest increase in selling prices in over 3.5 years, with services and goods prices both rising sharply. • Employment fell for the first time in over a year as firms trimmed overheads amid economic uncertainty. • Notably, chief S&P economist flagged PMI data point to GDP growth of just 1.0% annualized and a modest 1.3% expansion for Q1, while price gauges suggest inflation could accelerate toward 4%, raising stagflation risks. • Elsewhere, March Richmond Fed Index of +0.0 vs consensus -5.0 and February's -10.0; shipments increased to -2.0 from -13.0, new orders improved to +4.0 from -9.0 and employment rose to -2.0 from -7.0; growth in prices paid eased slightly, while growth in prices received accelerated. • Elsewhere, final Q4 nonfarm productivity printed at +1.8% vs +2.0% consensus; below +2.8% preliminary read. Unit labor costs at +4.4%, above +3.5% consensus and preliminary +2.8%. #Macro #PMI #Inflation #Stagflation #RichmondFed #Macro #EconomicData #Wages #Fed Gain immediate access to unparalleled insights with #StreetAccount: bit.ly/3xqrpo7

#StreetAccount Tuesday morning check-in: • Quieter from a headline perspective. Iran continues to largely deny ceasefire negotiations with the US but not necessarily surprising and the stream of backchannel talk headlines over the last 24 hours or so suggest something is going on. • However, Strait of Hormuz still effectively closed, report yesterday said there are at least a dozen Iranian mines in the Strait, Saudi Arabia and UAE reportedly considering joining war against Iran, US still sending thousands more troops to the region and Israel and Iran have fired more missiles today. • Outside of geopolitics, private credit worries back in the headlines with Apollo sticking to its 5% withdrawal cap on its flagship fund despite receiving redemption requests for more than double that amount. In addition, FS KKR credit rating cut to junk at Moody's on concerns about asset quality. • Also some focus on stagflation signals from flash Eurozone PMIs for March. S&P Global flash composite PMI fell to 50.5 from 51.9 in prior month, below 51.0 consensus and weakest reading since last May. Input cost inflation accelerated to fastest pace in over three years. • Lot of uncertainty about what's next. Monday move flagged as more about short covering/hedge lifting (particularly at the ETF level) than any reset in risk appetite. At the same time, magnitude and duration of the drawdown continue to fit with historical geopolitical shock pattern (which has been a dip buying opportunity). #Geopolitics #StraitOfHormuz #PrivateCredit #CreditMarkets #PMI #Stagflation #Macro #Apollo #Oil #Iran #MiddleEast Gain immediate access to unparalleled insights with #StreetAccount: bit.ly/3xqrpo7
