A little bit hot.

Headline CPI rises 7% as expected.

However, core CPI accelerated to 5.5% vs. the 5.4% expected.

And the sequential change in core was 0.6% vs. the 0.5% expected.

Stock futures unchanged basically bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Two year yields not doing much, so doesn't look like this report (so far) is expected to change the Fed's trajectory one way or another.
"The index for used cars and trucks continued to rise, advancing 3.5
percent in December after increasing 2.5 percent in each of the prior 2 months." bls.gov/news.release/c…
The huge jump in used cars obviously isn't good on its own, but seems like a good sign overall how much this one category is contributing? Also as Guy notes, some cooling in services

THE PERFECT CRYPTO INVESTOR IN CITADEL SECURITIES

For the Odd Lots blog, I wrote about why @paradigm, with its deep technical expertise in DeFi market structure, is the perfect fit for today's deal. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
@paradigm Among other thing, Paradigm's @danrobinson is one of the author's of Uniswap V3. A great example of the firm's technical expertise uniswap.org/whitepaper-v3.…
@paradigm @danrobinson As @matthuang said on Odd Lots last year, Paradigm has a lot of in-house experience close to the metal bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

As we wait for the jobs report. Something to remember: there are a bunch of hints in various surveys and signals that the labor market is booming right now.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
1. This week's ADP report was a monster, with over 800K jobs created among private firms.
2. The data from Homebase was extremely strong.

NEW ODD LOTS:

Why the price of coffee has surged 100% over the last year.

@tracyalloway and I took a deep dive into coffee market structure with @CoffeeNinjaRyan to discuss how the market works, and what's driven this dramatic change in price. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
@tracyalloway @CoffeeNinjaRyan Here's a 5-year chart of arabica beans. You can see the price really taking off at the end of 2020, at the end of a multi-year bear market.
@tracyalloway @CoffeeNinjaRyan Here's Robusta (lower quality) beans. Also up, but not as much.

One thing I learned from talking to @CoffeeNinjaRyan is that in coffee trader lingo, playing the spread between Arabica - Robusta is called "the arb" (even though it's not actually an arb at all)

WHEN WILL CRYPTO PEOPLE FINALLY STOP TWEETING

In today's @markets, I wrote about Web3 network effects and how crypto twitter should come to an end.

Sign up for the newsletter here: bloomberg.com/account/newsle…
@markets My prediction is that in 2022, there's no visible slowdown in Crypto Twitter, but everyone tweets things like "I've been spending a lot less time here on Twitter, and way more time in Discord lately. Way more positive and learning a lot more."
@markets "I still love Crypto Twitter, especially for trading. But been spending way more time on Discord this year, because that's where all the builders are"

How you'll really know when crypto is really in a bear market.

TRANSCRIPT: The full text of our conversation with @dcleyre192 is out. All about the booming movement to end work as we know it and the surging growth of the r/AntiWork subreddit bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
@dcleyre192 Something I find interesting is how we're seeing all of these micro-economic movements form online and reddit in particular.

WallStreetBets
AntiWork
FIRE

All very different, but all kind of people organically rethinking their approach to the economy. ImageImage
As always, if you'd prefer to listen rather than read, find it anywhere, like

Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/2YK3j1…

Etc.
