MMM Episode 103: Jeff and Sam Peruse Mandated Sales from the SPR

Jeff Mayberry and Samuel Lau review a red Feb. 13-17 week for stocks (1:55), bonds (3:28) and commodities (6:01) as well as the week’s macro news (?6:01), including signs of slowing CPI disinflation and PPI prints well above expectations that jolted markets. Then for their Topic of the Week, Jeff and Sam investigate (15:26) congressionally mandated sales of crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). A U.S. Department of Energy news release on Feb. 13 announced a forthcoming 26-million-barrel sale from the SPR. The communiqué stirred up a degree of angst in the commodity markets, although Sam and Jeff that explain the sale had already been voted by Congress.

Looking ahead to the abbreviated market week of Feb. 21-24 (31:46), the Monday Morning Minutes hosts have on their radar the S&P Global manufacturing and services PMI surveys (due Tuesday), release of the minutes of the Feb. 1 meeting of the Federal Open Market Meeting (Wednesday), personal spending (Thursday) and the Personal Consumption Expenditure deflator (Friday).
