<p>The futures were higher on Wednesday, after all the major indexes closed up Tuesday. Wall Street will be focused on Thursday’s release of the consumer price index, which is forecast to come in at up 6.7% year over year, versus the December print of 7.1%. While improving, “sticky inflation” on food and other items remains stubbornly high, and the tailwind from lower energy prices could decrease as demand accelerates.</p>
<p>Treasury yields were up by double digits across almost the entire curve after some big buying had driven yields on most maturities down to the lowest levels since the fall. The buying was an anomaly to many who feel that the Federal Reserve’s higher-for-longer stance will be in place with a terminal rate above 5%. Analysts are mixed on whether the next increase in rates will be by 25 or 50 basis points at the end of the month.</p>
<p>Brent and West Texas Intermediate crude both closed higher, with Brent reclaiming the $80 a barrel level. Despite the sideways trading, many energy analysts and pundits, including those at Goldman Sachs, feel that both major benchmarks will creep higher this year. The Goldman team sees Brent at $105 by the fourth quarter. Gold closed modestly higher Tuesday, while Bitcoin was up close to 1%, back over the $17,000 level.</p>
