The producer price index missed this morning, coming in at -0.2% versus consensus and prior read of +0.4%. Core also missed at -0.3% versus consensus of +0.1%. Although the market has certainly staged a V-shaped recovery, someone forgot to check with the economy.
Not to worry, because Gilead was quickly out with a press release reiterating the virtues of Remdesivir. The algos like this kind of stuff, especially when faced with otherwise depressing headlines.
More importantly, VIX took a well-timed dive to just below its 10-DMA. The algos love this kind of stuff, and suddenly futures are back in the green.
Don’t get too excited. It won’t last.
