IMPACT PATHS · INFERENCE
Potential paths, not trade calls
Resilient demand and inflation → later easing → yields and consumer sectors reprice
Soft-landing mix improves → financial-condition pressure eases → risk sentiment improves
READING BOUNDARIES
Common reading mistakes
- PCE usually follows CPI
- Some information may already be reflected in CPI/PPI
- Nominal spending needs inflation context
