Major averages have had a great run after closing April with losses, moving to within 1% of all-time highs for the S&amp;P 500 last Friday into inflation data (PPI, CPI) and retail sales reports the next two days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged lower, snapping its 7-day losing streak as markets were very quiet today outside of a few market moving stocks. Data tomorrow at 8:30 AM, could move the needle as April Producer Price Index (PPI) M\/M is est. to rise +0.3% (prior +0.2%) and on a Y\/Y basis to rise +2.2% (prior +2.1%). On a core level, PPI (ex: food and energy) M\/M for April est. +0.2% (prior +0.2%) and Y\/Y to rise +2.4% (prior +2.4%). Note CPI and retail sales data due out on Wednesday 5\/15. Today saw positive market breadth despite led by technology, REITs, and utilities offsetting weakness in Industrials, Energy, and Consumer Staples. Treasury yields bounced slightly, while Bitcoin rose 4% to $63K, oil climbed, and gold dropped. Stock market news was generally light outside of a few movers in the old \u201cmeme\u201d space, boosting shares of names with high short interest (see below). <\/p>\n<div class=\"page-br mt-8\">\n<p class=\"subhead\">Economic Data<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"page-br\">NY Fed: April one-year ahead expected inflation 3.3% vs March\u2019s 3%, April three-year ahead expected inflation 2.8% vs March\u2019s 2.9%, five-year ahead expected inflation 2.8% vs March\u2019s 2.6%. April year ahead expected home price climb at 3.3% vs March\u2019s 3% as year-ahead expected home price climb highest since July 2022.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"page-br mt-8\">\n<p class=\"subhead\">Commodities, Currencies &amp; Treasuries<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"page-br\">U.S. WTI crude oil futures settle at $79.12 per barrel up 86c, or 1.10% while Brent crude rose $0.57 to $83.36 per barrel. Front Month Nymex Natural Gas for June delivery gained 12.90 cents per million British thermal units, or 5.73% to $2.3810 per million British thermal units today (now up 6 of the last 8 sessions and up 19% MTD). Gold prices slide -$32.00 or 1.35% to settle at $2,343 an ounce on some profit taking into the PPI inflation data tomorrow morning after having hit its highest level since April 22 on Friday. The precious metal had risen more than 1% last week, following weak jobs data, supporting bets of a U.S. rate cut this year. Platinum rose above $1,000 per ounce to a near one-year high. Chinese data this weekend showed consumer prices rising for a third straight month in April while producer prices extended declines, signaling improved domestic demand. Treasury yields pared losses this morning after NY inflation expectations data edged higher, like the University of Michigan Sentiment inflation expectations Friday, and into PPI tomorrow. The 10-yr yield hit lows of 4.46%, but in narrow range off highs just below 4.5% earlier. The U.S. dollar was down slightly overall but hits nearly 2-week high vs yen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"normal\" style=\"margin-left:.25in; text-indent:-.25in\"><span style=\"font-size:11.5pt;
