CPI Could Shock the Market Tomorrow — Here’s Why It Matters

Kevin Peranio Season 4 Episode 20

Shutdowns, CPI & The Market’s Balancing Act

With the government shutdown freezing key data, all eyes are on Friday’s CPI report — the one number that could send markets swinging. Meanwhile, mortgage rates hit their lowest point in three years, tech stocks like Apple and Google are near all-time highs, and the Fed faces pressure to cut rates again.

It’s a market caught between momentum and mayhem: falling rates vs. rising delinquencies, strong corporate earnings vs. labor strain, and an AI-fueled boom vs. political uncertainty.
