US INFLATION SHOCKWAVE IMMINENT
Entry: 3.50% 🟩
Target 1: 3.75% 🎯
Stop Loss: 3.25% 🛑
Friday night. January CPI drops. Markets brace for a major shift. Core CPI targets 2.5%. This could be the lowest since May 2025. Housing costs are cooling. But tariffs and early year price hikes are wildcards. RBC sees core CPI higher than expected. The Fed stays on hold. Rate cuts are pushed further out. July is the new baseline for inaction. Fiscal expansion and job market data dominate. Inflation at 2.5% is the new normal. No immediate policy pivots. Prepare for volatility.
