🤔 My Thoughts
 
Core price inflation data was released today. It landed at 2.8%, which was exactly in line with expectations. That might sound good, but it's not. Inflation is still in line with the Fed's targets. Which means higher for longer is here to stay.

Meanwhile, manufacturing activity is plummeting. The Chicago PMI data was far below expectations. Combine that with the sub 25 GDP growth and you have yourself a nice little economic boondoggle. Strap in, it's going to get wild over the next 12 months.
