The consumer price index, a broad-based measure of the prices shoppers face for goods and services across the economy, increased 0.3% for the month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. On a 12-month basis, that came out to 3.1%.

Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for a monthly increase of 0.2% and an annual gain of 2.9%.

Excluding volatile food and energy prices, so-called core CPI accelerated 0.4% in January and was up 3.9% from a year ago. The forecast had been for 0.3% and 3.7% respectively.


10y treasury up to 4.27%, 2y up to 4.6%. Stocks down approximately 1%.

The 5+ rate cuts narrative from the fall has basically lost all of its momentum.

Food ,paying for power, rent keep going up. Shocker!! Biden can keep saying the employment numbers are still great but until paying for electricity, rent and food start going down this will continue to be a big problem.

Agree.

2 or 3 .25 cuts feels likely.

I don't see any reason to cut rates at this point. It's not like we are at some extreme level or anything.

I don’t get how the public is so deeply divided over economic news post Covid. The sky screamers seem to be doing so simply to creative a political narrative. When asked most admit they are doing quite well but just happen to lucky or super smart. The business survey reports I see in the markets I live have been great and all the earnings report I read indicates the average consumer is confident and spending money.

I've amazed at how tethered people have been to this wishcasting for years now. On the way up, they would act us if there was some big mystery to unravel, when, in fact, Powell was just straight up saying every time exactly what he was going to do!
