Good Wednesday morning. This mornings February CPI is in and it’s very good news all around for inflation and the markets with 2.8% (headline) and 3.1% (core). These are solid beats and the markets are surging. Dow +300, Nasdaq +300.

M/M: 0.2% (exp. 0.3%, prev. 0.4%)
Y/Y: 3.1% (exp. 3.2%, prev. 3.3%)

VRA Bottom Line: we look for the Federal Reserve to begin messaging about a resumption of their rate cutting program (they meet again next Tuesday/Wednesday). Inflation is a past tense concern, as are interest rates. Trump & Bessent have been hyper focused on both… and they’re winning. No recession. No serious growth scare. Simply a market reset.
