| Last | Change | |
| S&P futures | 3,701 | 17.75 |

| 10 year government bond yield | 3.86% | |
| 30 year fixed rate mortgage | 6.98% |
Stocks are higher this morning after yesterday’s dramatic turnaround. Bonds and MBS are up.
Yesterday’s turnaround was quite dramatic. The S&P 500 briefly broke below 3,500 on its way to a close around 3,670. The 10 year briefly touched 4.05% and this morning yields are back where they were before yesterday’s hot CPI print. The yield curve continues to invert, with 2s-10s now negative 53 basis points.
The strong CPI print from yesterday caused the December Fed Funds futures to price in another 25 basis points in tightening. Pre-report, the consensus was a 75 basis point hike in November and 50 in December. Now we are looking at 75 at both meetings.
JP Morgan reported better-than-expected earnings this morning as third quarter earnings season begins. Mortgage volume declined 45% on a quarter-over-quarter basis to $12.1 billion. A year ago, the company did $41.6 billion in originations in the third quarter, which means JPM’s volumes are down 70% YOY.
Overall revenues rose 7% QOQ and 10% YOY, while earnings per share increased 13% QOQ but fell 17% YOY. JPM is up about 2% pre-open.
Wells reported weaker-than-expected numbers, however there are some special items (litigation expense) that are making comparisons difficult. Q3 mortgage origination volume came in at $21.5 billion, which was down 37% QOQ and 59% YOY.
Despite the miss, Wells is up 5% pre-open.
Retail sales were flat in September, according to the Census Bureau. These numbers are not adjusted for inflation. On a year-over-year basis they rose 8.2%, which more or less matches yesterday’s CPI report.
Consumer sentiment improved in October, according to the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Survey. Unfortunately, expectations for the year-ahead inflation rate rose to 5.1%. The Fed pays close attention to this number, so this will encourage the Fed to keep pumping the brakes.

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a measure into law last month that doesn’t allow businesses to sell products for women at a higher price than they are sold to men.
The law, AB 1287, states that a business or other entity “shall not charge a different price for any two goods that are substantially similar if those goods are priced differently based on the gender of the individuals for whom the goods are marketed and intended.”

“Gov. Kathy Hochul, Mayor Eric Adams laud Biden administration’s move to limit migrants crossing Southern border
By Marcia Kramer
October 13, 2022 / 6:21 PM / CBS New York
NEW YORK — As the Biden administration takes the first steps to reduce the number of people entering the United States at the Mexican border, Gov. Kathy Hochul is taking a victory lap, saying it is the result of intense lobbying on the part of herself and Mayor Eric Adams.”
And Abbot is thus vindicated.
