Big Picture on CPI & What it Means for the Fed

Collin Martin says a 2.5% increase on the year-over-year core CPI data was good, but under the hood he says there was some not so nice things. He describes the short-term picture differentiating itself from the 12-month period. Collin adds that the bond market "clearly likes" the report, but believes the Fed will remain on hold for "the next few meetings." Charles Schwab's Michael Townsend agrees, saying the labor market and inflation data should have the Fed on pause until the summer. Mike adds that any changes from the Fed are unlikely until a new Fed Chair is in place.
