I read with interest about the projected ease of Consumer Price Index-based inflation to 2.33 percent in June, according to a median forecast of economists polled by Bloomberg. The possibility that inflation could drop to its lowest level since January 2019, when it was at 1.97 percent, has caught my attention. I find it fascinating to think that we might be entering a period of significantly lower inflation, which could have wide-ranging implications. The question of whether CPI will see a record low data point is something I am pondering. If the forecast holds true, I believe it could mark a notable shift in the economic landscape. I am curious about the underlying factors driving this potential decline, such as changes in consumer demand, supply chain improvements, or policy decisions.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST TECH STORIES THIS WEEKEND THAT PEOPLE MAY HAVE MISSED
This played out in a pretty crazy way… 1. OpenAI planned to acquire Windsurf (an AI coding startup) for $3B in April 2025 to strengthen its coding assistant offerings. Why such a big offer? Cursor, an AI coding startup, just got valued at $10B. AI coding agents are seen as a massive vertical and growing exponentially. 2. Windsurf had strong momentum, with ~$40M ARR and a unique AI-native IDE, drawing interest from multiple tech giants. 3. The deal stalled due to $MSFT Microsoft, OpenAI’s key investor, who would have gained rights to Windsurf’s IP — a move OpenAI wanted to avoid. Again, this OpenAI/MSFT partnership showing hiccups. 4. As the exclusivity window expired in July, OpenAI walked away, and the acquisition officially fell apart on Friday. All of those employees that thought they w
