Meanwhile, back on the ranch, what should come no surprise, did.

Producer prices in July rose faster than forecast across the board, giving investors and the Federal Reserve an inflation surprise just over a week out from Fed Chair Jay Powell's crucial Jackson Hole speech.

Pre sales, foreign countries eating some costs, and domestic companies absorbing costs due to TACO, wasn’t going to last forever. Eventually, Americans will end up paying the Trump tariffs.

Although I suspect they will shortly be referred to as the Biden tariffs by the current administration.

This is likely to put the kibosh on an interest rate cut in September. I am surprised that the market is not cratering today.

Won't be long before PPI inflation kicks in on the consumer side.

Maybe they think Trump will 'fix' the numbers.

It also makes it more likely that Trump will replace Powell at the Fed- which in turn makes an interest rrate cut more likely.

Wall Street looks at what Trump did at the BLS and probably factors in a coming ratr cut.

It’s now the most probable and profitable short term bet, even though long term, it spells disaster. But, they figure, it only takes half a second to reverse a trade, so tomorrow is another day.

Wall Street is not set up to care about such things as ethics or the impact of economic decisions on lives- just the bottom line, and that bottom line is measured on an increasingly shorter time line.
