BOOM:

CPI comes in significantly higher than expected.

Core CPI up 3.0% from last year. That's vs expectations of 2.3%

On a month over month basis, we got a 0.9% core reading vs. 0.3% expected. That's the big one right there.

Futures falling

Five year yields jumping a little bit here
Useful chart here showing the annualized pace of change in inflation right now
Full story from @readep

Inflation rises at the fastest pace since 2009 bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
@readep Incredible surge in used car prices
@readep Gold and Bitcoin both fall after the inflation print
@readep NASDAQ 100 futures down almost 1.5%
@readep This is the key thing here. Curve is flattening today. So market still sees this as transitory and not a sustained, new dynamic

The Booming Crypto Use Case That's Happening Right Now

@tracyalloway and I talked to @CampbellJAustin, prof at Columbia biz school and financial markets veteran, about the rise of stablecoins, and the genuine breakthrough that they represent bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
I'd say if there's ever been an episode that came close to convincing me and @tracyalloway that there's a genuine, non-speculative use for open blockchains (e.g. Ethereum, Solana etc.), this is it.
@tracyalloway Austin does a fantastic job explaining how the existing banking and payments system work, and how stablecoins augment it. And specifically, how they augment the existing system in a way that the existing system isn't capable of upgrading towards on its own without crypto.

SIX THOUGHTS ON THE AFTERMATH OF MONDAY'S BIG PLUNGE

In today's @markets newsletter, I wrote about where things stand now.

1) At least so far, things are much calmer than yesterday. Huge rally in Japan. The US rebound is fairly feeble. Meanwhile, "good news is good news" Image
2) We know the labor market is softening. But the question remains, can the Fed still get ahead of it? Image
3) Fed pricing looks much more normal today

10 THOUGHTS ON TODAY'S BIG MARKET SELOFF

In today's 5 Things newsletter, I jotted down a bunch of random stuff about this moment in stocks, crypto, FX, and macro.

Here they are

1) It was clear instantly on Wednesday that Powell was going to be offsides this market: Image
2) To some extent, I think the way Powell was talking about "normalization" of the labor market didn't make any sense, almost regardless of what's going on with the economy right now. Image
3) Regardless of whether you think the Fed has made a mistake or not, the Fed is now clearly offsides. Remember on Wednesday Powell was still talking about the possibility of no cuts at all coming soon. Image

TRANSCRIPT: The full text of me and @tracyalloway's chat with @dsquareddigest about how the world lost its mind.

The concept of Accountability Sinks is so powerful, once you start noticing them.

Here's an example that lead to the murder of 400 squirrels bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

This is also extremely interesting how as organizations become more complex, it's almost inevitable that top management will have to rely more on financial information to understand what's going on, which is partly how you get situations like Boeing

Also really intrigued by his assertion that from a perspective of "corporate short-termism" that the explosion of private sector debt (in part driven by LBOs) is a greater contributor than the stock price.

How Corporations Learned The Maximum Amount They Can Charge For A Product

@tracyalloway and spoke with @ddayen and @owenslindsay1, who have published a special new edition of @TheProspect entirely about the new world of pricing strategies bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The whole edition of the magazine is fascinating and varied. And well worth reading in full
