Record - Low CPI Meets Tariff Turbulence: Bullish đ or Blah đ? June CPI is protected to cool to 2.3%, potentially the lowest since Jan 2019. A win for inflation - watchers? Maybe đ¤. But don't get too comfy - Trump's tariffs are warming up on the sidelines, ready to stir next month's data.[OMG] The Fed 's dot plot still shows 2 rate cuts this year, & a soft CPI supports that view. But Powell wants signs of a cooling đŞ labour market before cutting âď¸, & tariffs could muddy the inflation waters just as clarity arrives [Sigh] .So, what's the market mood? [Helpless] Cautiously optimistic. CPI relief could trigger a Short - Lived rally [Sweats] but traders are already pricing in those cuts. Tariffs impact or weak job data could flip the script - Fast [OMG] . Bottom line: This CPI print maybe good news, but it's not Game - Changing on its own. The real story is whether Powell dances or ducks when the economic beat changes [Chuckle]
