"The CPI data came in cooler than expected which is always welcome. The headline is obscuring some of the underlying inflation due to the loss in data associated with the government shutdown. The overall index posted its coolest reading since May [----] with a 2.4% increase. However a loss of data during the October government shutdown resulted in a zeroing out of many price hikes in October. We also saw an update to seasonal factors which means we did not get the usual bump in January. Still goods prices soared at the fastest pace since [----] buoyed by tariffs.

"Deficits as far as the eye can see & now piling up faster than previously estimated due to OBBBA. Highly leverage hedge fund picking up Treasury bond purchase at the margin instead of institutional investors - central banks & pension. Hedge funds are more sensitive to prices & shocks. More likely to bolt which makes us more susceptible to spikes in bond yields and all other rates as well. We are still the reserve currency of the world but the run up in gold over last year is worrisome sign. Trust across our closest allies and trading partners is eroding. That is not good."

"Typically tariffs represent a one-time bump in price levels. The challenge is that tariffs were not announced all at once. The challenge for the Fed is whether increases in prices persist or plateau. It takes a long time for wages to catch up to the level of prices even if they are outpacing inflation. Price hikes have compounded post pandemic to make the level of prices out of track to too many. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2022344622966439948 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2022344622966439948"

Extreme inequality is not and can dampen growth and leave large swaths of the population desperate rather than aspiring.
