CPI 8.5% YoY, below expectations.
CPI 0% MoM, which is generally spurring optimism.
Hard to tell how it will affect specific markets since much will depend on how the Fed takes the news. In combinations with the strong jobs report, they could take it as a sign that a) the rates hikes are working b) the economy did not miss a beat with current interest rates so, more and higher rate hikes!
On the other hand, they could see it as a sign to ease off the pedal.
Real wages increased by 0.5%, which is nice to see.

Any gain in real wages is good, but if real wages rose 0.5%, and CPI rose 8.5%, for whom is that really a win?

Ah, thank you. I didn't realize that was what that meant.
