BREAKING
BOOM: IT'S COOL:
Headline CPI rises just 0.1%. Core CPI rises just 0.2%
Economists had been looking for a 0.3% headline gain, and a 0.3% core gain.
YOY headline inflation down to just 7.1%
Futures absolutely EXPLODING higher https://t.co/CKafFzS5ys pic.twitter.com/Maoz6lzl9I

Year-on-year inflation continued to tick down thanks to significant improvements in energy (gasoline especially) and core goods (used vehicles especially).

The second Powell wants is to see divergence between 3-month inflation and 6- and 12-month inflation. For the past year, they've all been lined up the same, a discouraging signal through the monthly noise of this-and-that.
But now we finally start to see a break downward. /3 pic.twitter.com/np6QrLLrUM

Do inverted yield curves matter?
The 3m10y yield curve has been inverted by 50+ bps for 3 weeks now. Every other streak of similar or longer duration was followed by a recession within 8 months. https://t.co/3SKchX5bD5 pic.twitter.com/6nxOTXCLkd
