US CPI came out pretty much as expected, with headline rates falling, thanks to significant falls in gas (petrol) prices at the pumps, despite rises in food and shelter costs.
The markets lapped this up sending the indices mainly higher. along with gold, while bond yields and the US dollar slid.
However, Fed officials were out in force saying rates need to run higher for longer, so once again out of step with market expectations.
Next signal will be quarterly earnings from Friday. Still more volatility ahead.
