A Sponge can only hold so much Tariffs… I mean Water.

Walmart made a noteworthy observation, and the latest Producer Price Index (PPI) report backs it up.

While prices have remained relatively stable so far, Walmart pointed out that the full impact of the tariffs has yet to be felt at the consumer level.

The PPI data suggests that businesses are currently absorbing much of the cost, resulting in tighter margins. But that can’t last forever—eventually, those costs are likely to be passed on.

So even if inflation appears subdued for now, it’s clear that not all the pieces are in place. We haven’t herded all the cats into the barn just yet.

PPI came in at a negative 0.5% much cooler than the positive 0.2% expected.

Fed Chair Powell’s spoke this morning regarding reviewing their framework. Hum, not exactly sure what that means.

Inflation, Inflation, Inflation. the cure is worse than the disease. Lets drop the rates, restructure debt and let everyone take a deep breath. Just my opinion.
