Major Market Events 
 
 
PPI comes in mixed: The yearly numbers show a decline in producer inflation, but the monthly numbers show an increase (link)
 
​Inflation rising after rate cuts: In Europe, they preemptively cut rates. Now inflation is coming back (link)
 
Jobless claims rise: A rise, albeit small, in jobless claims (link)

🤔 My Thoughts 
 
 
The EU cut started cutting rates two months ago. Now, inflation is coming back. The U.S. PPI was released today, and it's rising Month-Over-Month. CPI is rising too. This is why I don't think rate cuts are coming. If Powell cuts, inflation will reaccelerate. The markets will be in for rude awakening next week when they realize the work has only just begun.
