That’s exactly what I said. Obviously the interest rate hikes aren’t bringing down job numbers which was the fear (traditionally).Not sure if you are being facetious or not. But now the fed will be forced to raise rates faster.
More job = more money chasing the same amount of goods = higher prices and higher inflation.
Will definitely be above the benchmark but I’m actually expecting a small down-tick. I’m thinking around 7.5% YoYMakes me think the inflation number is going to come in hot next week.
13.3%

Yeah. They gotta keep hiking until we start to see a significant decline.Yeah 7.5% is still "hot". The Feds stated goal is 2% inflation. So they have a long way to go to bring it down to where they want it.
Think this mornings number increased the chance of a .75 bps increase at september meeting as opposed to a .50 point increase.
