Investor sentiment has shifted sharply following a hotter-than-anticipated inflation report. Despite headline CPI easing to 2.5% in August from 2.9% in July, core inflation held steady at 3.2% year-over-year, as forecasted. However, the monthly rise of 0.3% in core CPI—surpassing the expected 0.2%—triggered a reevaluation of market expectations. Traders now project a more modest 29-basis-point cut from the Federal Reserve next week, down from earlier hopes for a 50bp cut.

Markets are always on the move, right? I like to say day traders are riding the little waves. The real game is in the medium to long term, but trying to predict anything that far out is a real challenge. What do you think is going to happen in the medium to long term?

Bond market now is leading and showing disinflation, Fed, like always, is faaar behind the curve and will need to bring down rates when the us labor market gets into even deeper trouble. This could happen in Q1 2025?? IdK when but it will happen. Then You'll see a credit driven deflationary crash in nearly all asset classes, the fiat pumps will be running hot and so on. But social volatility is clearly on the rise. That worries me more by the day
