Current is at 0.3%, forecasts are about 0.3%. Hopefully after this report and next month's report, increased costs will have worked their way through the system and we'll have a clear picture.

I suspect, based on what Bessent has been saying, that we're going to see the long term "target" inflation rate raised from 2.0% to 3.0%. Bessent wants to run this thing hot, so that would be higher growth and higher associated inflation. The Fed is shifting from focusing on jobs and not inflation.

It's been a long time since we did that. Could work.

Okay, 0.4% instead of 0.3%. That's not bad. One more report, and hopefully we okay from there.

Increased costs are being mitigated so far. Jobless claims are up quite a bit, and that's one of the primary ways a business mitigates costs.

many companies "stocked up" inventory to weather this one out. One person I know bought one years worth of inventory. All of this to have the ability to sell the product for "one more year" avoiding "raising prices" and paying import tariffs.

it will take a long time before this all shakes out.

Here are the details. Time to wait and see how the markets react.
