aaa//@LimLS:White House had already come out during Monday to warn about the "high" CPI numbers for June. Managing of expectations, hoping the market will not react too badly on Wed. So we can expect June CPI numbers to be very bad if they actually had to come out to give "warning" and downplay it's significance . There is even a fake report on CPI numbers today saying June CPI is 10.2 and US BLS had came out to discredit it. But no smoke without fire. Let's see if June CPI will exceed 9. Forecast is 8.8 and May CPI is 8.6. Also, 90% had predicted Fed July hike is 75bps. That align with what a few Fed officials spoke during the last 2 weeks. The major change is actually that there is no more expectations of 50 bps hike
