Inflation seams to be within the Fed’s 1-2% range based on YOY PCE. With inflation in check the Fed should have a green light to lower the Feds Cut Rate. The bond market is currently only up +22bp this morning. There is a full day of trading a head, so pending on how the stock market reacts to these reports, we may see a little better long term rates this afternoon.
