You may have been tired of hearing just how important Thursday's CPI would be. There may not be another future installment of economic data that we've ever focused on so intently so far in advance. But not only did CPI deliver, it OVERDELIVERED (and even that is an inadequate word to capture the grandeur). 10yr yields dropped the most in a single day since 2009. Same story for mortgage rates and our records only go back to 2009 there, so it could be an all-time record. Once the celebration is over, we can talk about whether this rally was a bit overdone and at risk of a correction, or confirmation of things to come. Today's video recap digs into those questions in greater detail.
