Everyone's focused on whether the Fed cuts or holds, but the real issue this week is that fuel costs have been quietly bleeding into everything, logistics, manufacturing, airlines. If this CPI print comes in hot, the Fed's hands are basically tied regardless of what Wall Street wants. We all want a rate cut but its looking impossible.
Here is a solid breakdown of the specific data points that will actually move the market this week . Worth a read before the number drops:

Do you think the Fed can cut with oil where it is?
CPI week is here and I think people are underestimating the oil problem

This report could be one of the ugliest inflation prints since 22′. Fed’s hands are tied. Good luck to Warsh, you’re going to be in a lose/lose situation.
Fuel prices are going up and this is just the beginning. Anybody expecting a bullish signal is gonna be in a shitty ride.
I think they will be hiking by the end of the year
Definitely not cutting anytime soon. I would guess they will continue to wait and see but with fuel driving everything up I can’t imagine CPI will be good for the rest of the year
Ipc 3.4%
February PPI for the US measures at 0.7, above the expectation of 0.3. this was before the Iran – US conflict.
