S&P 500
Deflation risk is influencing the markets as lower money supply and credit are affecting both the producer prices and manufacturing sectors. Lower food prices affected the producer price index which is a leading indicator affecting consumer prices. Overall this translates into low interest rates and could be good for profits if money supply and credit is available for growth.
However lower numbers in the manufacturing sector translated into a slowdown in growth. This has been indicated by the lower Empire State and Philly Fed numbers as well as the Industrial Production report. If these manufacturing reports announced higher numbers and PPI was low then we could have a positive and sustained growth. But lower numbers in manufacturing and a lower PPI makes a case for deflation risk.
