When Companies THANK Washington… You Know Something’s Off
Friday’s long-delayed CPI report was the market’s first sip of data in weeks—and it tasted sweet. Prices rose 3.0% year over year, slightly below expectations, sparking another risk-on rally across Wall Street. But dig deeper, and the story gets far more complicated.
Services inflation—the sticky kind that keeps the Fed awake—is barely cooling. Housing and healthcare are still running hot, while goods inflation has quietly taken on a new driver: tariffs.
Here’s where it gets wild: both Ford and GM just told investors they’re benefiting from tariff policy. Yes, the same trade barriers meant to raise costs are now boosting profits and supporting margins. Tariffs aren’t breaking these companies—they’re reshaping them.
With average car prices crossing $50,000 for the first time ever, consumers are footing the bill while corporate America plays government policy like a fiddle. This isn’t a soft landing—it’s industrial policy in disguise, and markets love it.
📊 In today’s Truthbomb:
CPI cools to 3.0% — but don’t pop the champagne yet
Tariffs become the Fed’s inflation wildcard
Detroit turns protection into profit
Why the $50,000 car is the new inflation signal
👀 Watch now to understand the real story behind “cooling inflation”—because what’s cooling isn’t prices… it’s competition.
