A cooler-than-expected CPI print was helped by a sharp downturn in energy prices, according to Kevin Hincks. He explains why the 1.5% slide across the sector was so crucial, especially the 7% cut in gasoline prices for January. However, airfare prices up 6% showed a sticky spot. Looking to the weekend, Kevin urges investors to mind the elevated VIX and continuing software beatdown as signs of weakness.
