Please don't hate us, but we still don't think JPow will take his foot off the gas...let's check out some CPI charts. First table is looking pretty, pretty, pretty good. CPI and Core CPI rates of growth both slowed, and under 6%. What drove this slow down? Not Housing! We can thank transportation for the CPI relief, half of which is new and used car prices (negative YoY changes in Feb 2023).So, is JPow gonna wager his historical legacy on new and used car prices? Next chart and table show core goods and services YoY changes.The rate of change in core services has been *increasing every month, while the rate of change in core goods has been decreasing. We're skeptical that JPow goes into the next FOMC meeting and argues that SIVB's lack of hedging foresight and low car prices justifies a reversal in Fed policy. happy coding #rstats and #python friends....cc Sudheer Chava
