The week begins with more steepening pressure in the Treasury market, with long-end yields up 2-4 basis points in early trading. Inflation worries remain at the forefront, and oil and gasoline futures are up more than 1% on the day. A Financial Times article highlights recent comments from several large corporations warning of more price increases due to challenges and costs of sourcing raw materials. In the article, Chipotle CFO Jack Hartung was asked which ingredients and supplies they were having trouble sourcing, to which he replied: “All of them.” This week’s economic calendar is headlined by the first look at Q3 GDP on Thursday, and given recent concerns of non-transitory inflation pressures, the release of the Q3 Employment Cost Index (ECI) on Friday will be closely watched as well. ECI is a preferred measure of wage inflation for Fed leaders because it includes bonus income and other benefits.
