Dow pops 1,200 points, S&P 500 jumps 5% in biggest rally in two years after light inflation report

Stocks mounted their biggest rally since 2020 after a weaker than expected inflation report buoyed investor hopes that inflation has peaked.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped more than 1200 points, or 3.7%, in its best day since May 2020. The S&P 500 jumped 5.54%, in its biggest one-day rally since April 2020. The Nasdaq Composite surged 7.35%, its best since March 2020.

Another data point for the equity market to like: The average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage plunged 60 basis points to 6.62% from 7.22% yesterday, Mortgage News Daily said. (A basis point is 0.01%, or one one-hundredth of a percent.)

That matches the record drop at the start of the Covid 19 pandemic, although the rate is still more than double what it was at the start of 2022.

"This is the best argument to date that rates are done rising, but confirmation requires next month's CPI to tell the same story," said Matthew Graham, chief operating officer of Mortgage News Daily. But Graham said rates are not out of the woods. They are unlikely to move dramatically lower, as there is still plenty of economic uncertainty in the U.S. and overseas.

General Motors got a downgrade from Wolfe Research, citing headwinds to OEM profitability.

"Until now, GM has been a massive beneficiary of the industry's tight supply/demand," analyst Rod Lache said in a note. "But a significant negative turn now seems inevitable: Used vehicle trade-in values are down 15% YTD and are likely to decline further; Auto Loan rates are up about 150 bps YTD (to around ~6%) and are likely to rise by another 200 bps in the near term, and inventory has slowly started to build as production has improved faster than sales."

Stocks may continue to rise after October's CPI report came in weaker than expected, but don't expect the Federal Reserve to reverse course anytime soon, according to Wolfe Research.

"We wouldn't be surprised to see some near-term follow through on this morning's very strong rally, including the S&P 500 trading up toward its 200-day moving average into the 4050-4100 range," Chris Senyek wrote in a Thursday note.

"However, this morning's report does not make us change our views that the FOMC will ultimately hike the fed funds rate to between 5%-6% and that a demand-driven recession will hit next year," he added.

Satori Fund's Dan Niles said he's bullish on markets at least until the next consumer inflation reading in December.

"We're still playing this for a rally at least until sort of that December 13th next CPI print. And this could be a huge one, because you got to remember the biggest bear market rallies happen toward the end of bear markets," Niles said Thursday on CNBC's "TechCheck."

The major averages rallied after a cooler than expected October CPI print raised investor hopes that inflation is cooling. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up more than 1000 points at one point in the day. Niles said he's "having one of the best days of the year," and expects the rally will continue.

"We're pretty bullish between now and at least December 13th," he said.

Tesla is no longer a top investment idea to Wedbush – and blame can be placed on its owner.

Analyst Dan Ives said the electric vehicle maker still has a strong story, but Elon Musk has hurt its reputation with his acquisition of Twitter, which he called the "Twitter train wreck disaster."

"More worrying is that this Twitter 'Money Pit' situation will never end and continue to take up money, time, and attention from Musk instead that could be focused on Tesla," Ives said.

Musk's deal closed late last month after months of highly followed discussion, during which he tried to pull out of the deal. Under his leadership, about half laid off about half of Twitter's staff was laid off, though some were reportedly asked to return shortly after.

"Inflation is much lower than the Fed thinks," Jeremy Siegel, professor of finance at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, told CNBC's Scott Wapner on Fast Money: Halftime Report.

"If you put the actual home and rental price index, not the one the Fed uses, which is very lagged, but the actual one in today's index, you get negative core inflation. Negative core inflation," Siegel said.

The core inflation rate in October for shelter and housing was reported early Thursday as climbing 0.8% from September, the biggest one-month move since 1990.

"I mean, that's ridiculous. It's no where near that," Siegel said. "No way. By the way, that's the only reason why [the overall] core was positive. Not only is it zero, it's actually negative. So if you put a negative number in, we're in negative inflation mode, if the Fed uses the right statistics, not the faulty statistics that they've been using."

That said, Siegel accepts that the central bank will probably lift its overnight fed funds rate another half a percentage point when policymakers next meet in December, and then pause. But that's unnecessary, the author of 1994's Stocks for the Long Run, said.

"Yeah, they'll probably go now 50 [basis points] and then stop, but they don't even need to do that because everything is in a down mode," Siegel said. A basis point is 1/100th of a percent. "I told you last June I thought the danger was the Fed was getting too tight, and now the data is showing that now yeah maybe that's true."

"I think they'll go to 50 and announce a pause...and that's why we have a 1000-point rally today" in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Siegel said that if the next month's weekly jobless claims, November employment and November consumer price index "comes in weaker...that could put pressure on [the Fed] going even less."

The housing component of the consumer price index will still expand by 0.7% to 0.8% on a month-over month basis in November when the CPI is announced the day before the Fed's December meeting, and housing is 40% of the index, Siegel said. "It will continue to push up as the housing market goes down."

"When should [the Fed] pivot? Yesterday."

Siegel said the implication for stocks is "the potential for a significant end of the year rally." Siegel thinks the market can rally without tech stocks leading the way.

Tech is leading Thursday, but value has beaten growth all year, and "that trend that we have seen all year will re-assert itself."

"Inflation is basically over and the Fed doesn't have to get anywhere near as high" in its terminal, or end, fed funds rate as investors had feared, Siegel said. "There is still a chance we can avoid a hard landing," he added. Fed chair Jerome Powell "is going to change his tune."

Coffee chain Dutch Bros is a buy at its current price, according to analysts at Bank of America.

And, the company's recent earnings results show it's poised to continue to perform solidly in the near and long-term. The stock is up 16% on its positive earnings report.

The company improved performance across stores in the third quarter and is only seeing a 1% labor inflation rate, below others in the industry.

This is a "testament to the attractiveness of the company as an employer and under-appreciated benefit of the high tip model, where effective wages increase apace with checks," wrote analyst Sara Senatore in the Thursday note. "With new stores ramping toward margin efficiency as expected we see an imminent return to historical margin profile."

Dutch Bros small and flexible nature has helped its sales thrive even in locations that are not idea, according to the note.

"With the benefit of improved site selection and modeling, new stores on average are located in higher income trade areas with more revenue potential, thus likely to benefit more heavily from BROS' infill strategy where additional stores redistribute demand in busy markets," said Senatore.

The bank reiterated its buy rating on the company and its $53 price target, which implies more than 80% upside.

Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester said in a speech Thursday, while she welcomes the latest CPI data, there's more work left do to fully tame the inflationary pressure the U.S. economy faces.

"Given the current level of inflation, its broad-based nature, and its persistence, I believe monetary policy will need to become more restrictive and remain restrictive for a while in order to put inflation on a sustainable downward path to 2%," Mester said in a speech, according to Reuters.

"This morning's October CPI report also suggests some easing in overall and core inflation," she said. However, she added that "there continue to be some upside risks to the inflation forecast."

Cathie Wood's flagship ARK Innovation ETF staged a dramatic relief rally Thursday on the back of an easing inflation reading. The fund jumped more than 13% to hit an intraday high of $37.02, on pace to post its biggest daily pop since its inception in 2014.

Unity, Invitae and Pacific Biosciences all traded up over 20% so far Thursday. ARKK's biggest holding Zoom Video popped about 12%, while Tesla jumped nearly 7%. Roku advanced more than 11%. Teladoc climbed 12%. 

Wood's disruptive darlings have been hurt particularly hard this year as rising rates made growth names unappealing. These stocks could see a big rebound if easing price pressures lead the Federal Reserve to dial back its aggressive tightening efforts.

The U.S. dollar slid Thursday against a basket of other currencies as investors cheered October's CPI report coming in weaker than expected, signaling that inflation may have peaked.

The dollar index shed 2%, putting it on pace for its worst daily performance since Dec. 4, 2015. If the index falls more than 2.1%, it will hit levels not seen since 2009.

All sectors in the S&P 500 were trading in positive territory around noon, with the consumer discretionary, real estate and information technology sectors leading the pack. The sectors were up 7.8%, 7.3% and 6.6%, respectively. An easing in the latest consumer inflation data buoyed risk sentiment in markets.

Meanwhile, more defensive sectors such as consumer staples and health care, which have outperformed this year, lagged the broader market.

Lau lowered the price target amid the volatility but kept the stock at overweight. It's new price target shows an upside of 93.6%.

Consumer expectations around inflation will have to come down as well to convince the Federal Reserve that it's squashed rising prices, according to LPL Financial.

Investors should keep an eye on Friday's University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Survey, which includes five- to 10-year consumer inflation expectations, which has risen to an "uncomfortable" level, according to chief global strategist Quincy Krosby.

"For the Fed -- and markets-- to be convinced that inflationary pressures are easing at an acceptable and durable pace, consumer expectations need to ease as well," Krosby wrote.

Bank of America analyst Justin Post said Meta's announcement of about 11,000 employee layoffs could be a "potential welcome shift" for the stock and others in the so-called FANG group.

We are encouraged to see Meta rationalizing its cost base, which seemed large even for attractive market conditions," wrote Post, who rates Meta as neutral. "We see similar investor cost frustration at Alphabet and Amazon, and see opportunities to shrink their respective cost bases below Street ests in 2023."

The analyst also lowered his Meta revenue forecast, but raised his 2023 earnings per share forecast by 11% to $8.39 from $7.55.

Even as the CPI report showed signs of a slowdown, prices still remain elevated and have a long way to go before normalizing, according to Mike Loewengart, head of model portfolio construction at Morgan Stanley Global Investment Office.

"Inflation slowing to its lowest annual rate since January is news that both the Fed and investors can get behind," Lowengart said. "The Fed was adamant that it won't hit the brakes on rate hikes until inflation slows, and while the market's rally indicates investors may see light at the end of the tunnel, it will get one more reading before its decision next month"

Stocks surged Thursday after October's reading of consumer prices raised hopes that inflation has peaked.

Traders bet the Federal Reserve can be slightly less aggressive with rate hikes, now that it appears inflation could be peaking after October consumer inflation was slightly cooler-than-expected.

In the futures market, the terminal rate, or end point for Fed rate hikes, fell to 4.88% just after the 8:30 a.m. ET release of the consumer price index, according to BMO. It had been priced at 5.07% just before the report. The CPI showed core inflation rising at a pace of 0.3%, versus estimates for 0.5%.

"Now the question is what we hear from the Fed. That will determine how far the rally can extend. A single data point is not enough to make that assertion entirely, but it adds to that case [for peak inflation]," said Ben Jeffery at BMO. The 10-year yield has slid to 3.92%. Jeffery noted it held the key 3.89% level, and the next target on downside would be 3.75%.

A measure of fear in stocks just fell to the lowest level in almost two months after the inflation report showed signs of peak price pressures.

The Cboe Volatility Index, known as the VIX, dropped 2.4 points to 23.7, hitting the lowest level since September.  The VIX, which tracks the 30-day implied volatility of the S&P 500, had traded above the 30 threshold for the most of October. The index looks at prices of options on the S&P 500 to track the level of fear on Wall Street.

If the consumer price index truly did peak, that could mean good news for the stock market, according to Clocktower Group.

October's CPI data showed inflation did not rise year over year for a fourth month.

It was up 7.7% compared with a year ago in October, which is down from 8.2% year-over-year growth seen in August and September and 8.5% seen in July. It last rose in June, when the year-over-year growth rate hit a high of 9%.

Clocktower found since 1934, the S&P 500 typically rises as CPI comes off a peak. Strategists at the firm said they believe the market's bottom is in, but still urged investing with caution.

When predicting the CPI would not rise, the firm pointed to the National Federation of Independent Business survey, which it said is typically a good predictor, showing "absolute destruction" of business confidence.

The U.S. consumer price index — a broad measure of inflation — rose by 0.4% in October from a month ago. On a year-over-year basis, the CPI rose 7.7%.

Economists polled by Dow Jones expected a month-over-month gain of 0.6% and a year-over-year advance of 7.9%.

Excluding volatile food and energy costs, so-called core CPI increased 0.3% for the month and 6.3% on an annual basis, compared to respective estimates of 0.5% and 6.5%.

Bitcoin has "come full circle" after falling to a new bear market low Wednesday exactly one year after posting an all-time closing high, according to BTIG's Jonathan Krinsky.

"It's somewhat ironic that BTC made its all-time closing high exactly one year ago on November 9, 2021 at 67,734.," Krinsky wrote in a Wednesday note.

Bitcoin fell to its lowest point in nearly two years Wednesday after Binance scuttled the FTX deal. According to Krinsky, the break below 17,500 "implies a measured move to the 11k-14k range."

Still, "A few more days of consolidation here should set up for another potential move higher," he wrote.

Neel Kashkari, who once called bitcoin an "utterly useless" currency, is at it again.

Late Wednesday, the Minneapolis Fed president slammed cryptocurrencies, calling it the "wild Wild West and chaos all rolled into one."

Speaking at an event at South Dakota State University, Kashkari said the "fatal flaw" in the virtual asset is that anyone can create those coins and it makes them "hard to distinguish."

"For several years I've been saying it's 95% noise hype and confusion and I think that 95% might be generous — it might be 99% noise, hype and confusion based on what's going on right now," he said, adding that he has yet to see anything useful coming from cryptos.

Barclays and Citigroup were the latest banks to reduce headcount as Wall Street feels the impacts of sliding revenue.

Barclays dropped around 200 positions within banking and trading, according to a source familiar.

Citigroup cut about 50 trading personnel, according to people with knowledge of the moves. It follows a decision reported by Bloomberg to cut dozens of banking roles.

The banks follow the lead of Goldman Sachs, which laid off hundreds of employees in September. They also mark what some see as the banking industry's return to ritual cutting of underperforming employees that was once ubiquitous.

Economists expect the consumer price index to rise 0.6% from September when it is released Thursday at 8:30 a.m.

That would mark a jump from 7.9% compared with the same month a year ago, according to Dow Jones.

It would also show chilled growth from September, when the CPI saw a year-over-year gain of 8.2% and a month-over-month gain of 0.4%.

Excluding food and energy, the CPI is expected to rise 0.5% over the prior month and 6.5% year over year. That would be slower than the 0.6% gain with the exclusions in September and the 6.6% seen a year ago.

The index is considered a key report by the Federal Reserve.

These are the stocks making the biggest moves in post-market trading:

• Bumble – The dating app company plummeted 15% after it reported third-quarter revenue that was below Wall Street's expectations, according to StreetAccount.
