Fed Is Fighting Itself on Rates and Inflation
Does the rule that you cannot fight the Fed apply if the Fed is fighting itself?
Tuesday saw a clear demonstration that the mixed signals on the economy are dividing the Fed. In speeches given thousands of miles apart, two Trump-appointed Federal Reserve governors appeared to be sharply divided on the question of whether interest rates are likely already high enough to bring inflation back to the central bank's two percent target.
Fed Governor Chris Waller, who for years ran the economics research program at the St. Louis Fed and was brought to President Trump's attention by then St. Louis Fed president Jim Bullard, said in a speech in Washington that the pace of the economy appears to have slowed enough to suggest monetary policy is tight enough.
Waller's talk Tuesday was titled "Something Appears to Be Giving," a reference to a speech he gave in mid-October with the title "Something’s Got to Give." In that speech, Waller argued that the recent combination of falling inflation and accelerating growth was likely to be unsustainable. "Either growth moderates, fostering conditions that support continued progress toward our 2 percent inflation objective, or growth doesn't, possibly undermining that progress," Waller said.
Waller's speech Tuesday said that growth does appear to be moderating, which would allow disinflation to continue.

“I am increasingly confident that policy is currently well positioned to slow the economy and get inflation back to 2 percent,” Waller said Tuesday in remarks delivered to an event at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, DC. “I am encouraged by what we have learned in the past few weeks — something appears to be giving, and it’s the pace of the economy.”
Waller argued that data on economic activity in October indicated that spending is cooling.
"Retail sales fell 0.1 percent, the first drop since March. Spending was down on motor vehicles, an interest-sensitive sector, which may be evidence that that the FOMC's tightening of monetary policy is having some effect. Spending was also down at gasoline stations, mostly because of a sizable decline in gas prices, often a larger factor for this segment of retail than shifts in demand. But even without motor vehicles and sales at gas stations, retail sales barely increased in October, which may reflect a broad-based moderation in demand," Waller argued.
Although Waller did not point it out, in real terms the decline was even more marked. After adjusting for the change in consumer prices, real October spending fell 0.2 percent. Consumer demand for goods fell 0.2 percent from the month prior in nominal terms. In real terms, goods spending fell 0.6 percent, according to the Conference Board.
Waller also pointed out that the labor market appears to be cooling off and there are signs that manufacturing and non-manufacturing activity by businesses slowed in October.
Bowman Stands Ready to Hike Further if Inflation Stalls
Fed Governor Michelle Bowman, in a speech to bankers and businessmen in Utah, was far less sanguine, describing the recent economic data as "uneven."
“My baseline economic outlook continues to expect that we will need to increase the federal funds rate further to keep policy sufficiently restrictive to bring inflation down to our 2 percent target in a timely way,” Bowman said.
In her speech, Bowman went through an extensive list of reasons to be wary that the disinflationary pressures that brought inflation down in recent months will continue to dominate. She noted that much of the progress in the past year has come from the supply side—including supply chain improvements, increases in labor force participation, and falling energy prices—but that it is unclear if they will keep putting downward pressure on prices. The inflation-dampening improvements from supply side, she implied, may run out of steam.

Bowman also pointed to the risk that higher services consumption could create sticky inflationary pressures and the lack of fiscal restraint in government spending was an ongoing danger. What's more, households still have significant excess savings that could continue to drive consumer spending at high levels.
She seemed to be directly addressing her Fed colleagues and the Biden administration by warning against "prematurely" declaring victory over inflation.
“We should keep in mind the historical lessons and risks associated with prematurely declaring victory in the fight against inflation, including the risk that inflation may settle at a level above our 2% target without further policy tightening,” Bowman said.
The Market Sides with Waller
Financial markets liked Waller's message much better than Bowman's. Stocks rose for the day, and long-term Treasury yields fell. The odds of a rate cut at the Fed's May meeting, as read by the CME FedWatch Tool, moved from around 50 percent earlier this week to near 65 percent on Tuesday.
This likely says more about the bullish mood of Wall Street than the quality of the economic assessments of Waller and Bowman.

$PSTI Pluristem Changes the Game with Strong Preliminary COVID-19 Results; Analyst Says ‘Buy’
TipRanks•April 8, 2020
With the war against COVID-19 waging on, Wall Street focus has locked in on the names at the frontline. Battling a formidable opponent capable of spreading without a trace, innovative technologies will be required to arm the world’s population. As such, market watchers are standing at the ready, hoping to identify the healthcare companies that can deliver effective weapons against the deadly virus.
Pluristem Therapeutics (PSTI) has a fighting chance. On April 7, the company reported its treatment for acute respiratory failure and inflammatory complications caused by COVID-19 had demonstrated robust preliminary results from the compassionate use program, sending shares 21% higher in response. Back in March, its PLX cell treatment, which uses allogeneic mesenchymal-like cells with immunomodulatory properties, got the go ahead from the Israeli Ministry of Health for use in treating severe COVID-19 patients on a per-patient basis. The therapy was designed to prevent or even reverse the harmful over-activation of the immune system.
The results have been promising to say the least. Management stated that so far, seven patients in the ICU with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) have been treated. All of the patients are alive, meaning that the survival rate is 100%, and six out of seven have progressed through at least one week of follow-up. On top of this, four patients saw respiratory parameters improve, one remained stable and only one demonstrated deterioration. Three are also in the advanced stages of being taken off ventilators.
Weighing in for H.C. Wainwright, analyst Swayampakula Ramakanth calls the early data “encouraging” and thinks the treatment could drive substantial gains for PSTI, with the next step being a regulated and multinational clinical study.
“In our view, with the ongoing pandemic affecting nearly every country and stressing healthcare systems around the world, new, effective treatments are urgently needed. Therefore, we believe that both the FDA and the EMA may expedite the approval for clinical studies and simply the regulatory paths going forward. With regulatory expediency and patients only needing a 28-day follow-up, we believe the company could complete the initial studies and report results in 2H20,” Ramakanth explained.
In line with this optimistic take, Ramakanth left a Buy rating on the stock. At $15.50, the price target puts the upside potential at a whopping 277%. (To watch Ramakanth’s track record, click here)
As for other analyst activity, it has been relatively quiet when it comes to PSTI. Only one other call has been issued recently, but it was also bullish, so the analyst consensus is a Moderate Buy. The $11.75 average price target is less aggressive than Ramakanth’s and implies 173% upside potential. (See Pluristem stock analysis on TipRanks)

https://biotuesdays.com/2019/11/22/janney-starts-baudax-bio-at-buy-fair-value-estimate-12/
Baudax’s key product is Anjeso, a long-acting intravenous formulation of meloxicam, an established non-opioid pain reliever, available through an oral formulation. “We see a high probability of FDA approval in the first quarter of 2020, which would be a meaningful catalyst to drive the stock towards our fair value,” writes analyst Ester Hong.
She estimates peak U.S. sales of $355-million for Anjeso but sees “upside from increased demand for a potent non-opioid that allows patients to recover and go home faster.”

MKGI - Monaker Group Acquires Key Inventory and Travel Services from IDS Technology for $5.5 Million
www.monakergroup.com
WESTON, FL – August 22, 2019 – Monaker Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: MKGI), a technology leader in the travel and vacation rental markets, today announced it has completed an asset purchase with leading travel technology provider, IDS Technology to enhance its Monaker Booking Engine (MBE) and nexttrip.biz platform, adding new capabilities and an additional 500,000 properties in North America.
The terms of the agreement include the purchase by Monaker of key assets and technology - from IDS - along with software development and integration services for a total of $5.5 million. The consideration payable to IDS is $634,000 in cash and 1,968,000 restricted shares of Monaker’s common stock valued at $2.50 per share.
“This technology acquisition and transaction with IDS creates an opportunity to dramatically enhance our travel technology platform and accelerate our transaction growth,” said Monaker CEO, Bill Kerby. “The IDS assets will also help us to further strengthen our nexttrip.biz business travel solution with a broader selection of vacation rentals suitable for corporate travel, and are expected to capture higher margin revenue streams.”
Mr. Kerby noted that, with IDS accepting mostly restricted equity in this transaction and at an above-market valuation, “It is an indication of their confidence in Monaker’s ability to enhance shareholder value, and to be a true partner in this endeavor. It also validates the power of Monaker’s existing MBE and nexttrip.biz platforms and their greater potential.”
The purchased assets and services include:
API software development to provide for instant-booking access to more than 500,000 North American vacation rental properties. This access will more fully round out Monaker’s existing vacation rental inventory which has been located primarily in Europe and Asia. Additional Alternative Lodging Rental (ALR) products, commonly referred to as vacation rentals, will also be added, including wholesale access to exclusive high-value offerings.
Exclusive ownership of IDS booking engine software technology for air, car, and hotel reservations, including proprietary API connections to travel providers and distributors. This will make MBE a more complete B2B solution for the simultaneous booking of air, car and hotel, rather than relying upon integration with existing client booking systems. It will enable MBE and nexttrip.biz to capture new revenue streams from the booking of air, car and hotel, as well as broaden Monaker’s addressable market of B2B clients.
Exclusive access to key supplier contracts, including those for air, car, and hotel rentals, which will be accessed via the booking engine technology acquired from IDS.
The agreements are designed to acquire access to specialized, and in some cases unique, inventory for distribution through the company’s booking engine and nexttrip.biz.
A robust, cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) platform to manage travel customer relationships and allow a more complete service offering.
Access to special merchant accounts that can support between $500,000 and $1 million per month in merchant processing capacity.
Mr. Kerby added that this important acquisition and stronger relationship with IDS was a “strategic extension” of the earlier engagement with IDS for the development of Monaker’s nexttrip.biz platform, which began last year.
Following the IDS technologies enhancement for nexttrip.biz, Monaker plans to commercially launch subscription-based, direct-to-consumer access to the site. For $19 per month or $150 per year, travelers worldwide will be able to gain access to wholesale-level pricing for all their travel needs, and create air, car, lodging - including vacation rentals -and tour packages, for additional savings.
