CPI lower than expecte. Stocks don't go down in a straight line. There will be many dead cat bounces or bear market rallies on the way to the bottom.

There is a strong argument that the slower month-on-month CPI increase is due to weak consumer demand. Look at the breakdown of the categories.Airline fares and gasoline prices dropped by 4.0% and 1.0% respectively. This suggests weaker consumer demand for travel.New vehicle prices declined by 0.1%. This indicates consumers are holding back on large discretionary purchases. This also aligns with the consumer confidence index from a couple of weeks back which highlighted a drop in sentiment on large purchases in the near future by consumersOverall the CPI and core CPI numbers reinforce my opinion that the economy is not doing well. Consumers are pulling back and businesses do not feel confident raising prices any more. This will reflect in the next set of readings - both inflation and labor

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ Trade Tensions and Inflation Risks Recent trade policy changes have raised concerns about renewed inflationary pressures. The introduction of 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, along with higher duties on Chinese goods, could drive up consumer prices. Businesses may pass these increased costs onto consumers, potentially reversing progress toward price stability. This challenge comes at a critical time as the Fed navigates its policy normalization process. Sectors heavily reliant on imports, such as consumer electronics, automotive parts, and household goods, could see the most immediate price increases. Analysts suggest these tariffs may start

What does the upcoming Feb CPI report brings to the market? The upcoming release of the February Consumer Price Index (CPI) report is highly anticipated by economists and investors alike, as it may provide insights into the current state of inflation and its potential impact on recession concerns. Recent economic indicators have painted a mixed picture, heightening the significance of this report. Current Inflation Trends In January, the CPI rose by 0.4%, marking a slight acceleration from December’s 0.3% increase. This brought the year-over-year inflation rate to 3.2%. Notably, the energy index experienced a 2.3% uptick, driven by increases in gasoline and natural gas prices, while the food index remained unchanged. Forecasts for February 2025 suggest a modest deceleration in inflation. E

A higher-than-expected CPI (Consumer Price Index) report can indeed shake the markets, as it signals that inflation is stronger than anticipated. This could potentially delay the Federal Reserve's easing cycle, or at least make the central bank more cautious in cutting rates or scaling back on tightening measures. If CPI continues to show elevated inflation, the Fed may remain more focused on combating inflation rather than shifting towards an easing cycle. The Fed typically adjusts its policy based on inflation data, and a hot CPI might lead them to maintain a more hawkish stance, which could delay any interest rate cuts. On the flip side, if inflation proves more persistent, the Fed could take a longer time to pivot toward easing, especially if the labor market remains strong or if infla
