Conviction: 62% · Horizon: 3M · 2026-07-14
Disinflation surprise improves risk appetite and sets up PPI as the next catalyst

Year-over-year CPI printed at 3.5% versus a 3.8% consensus, lifting US equity indices on the session. Broad participation suggests the move is more than a single-factor squeeze. The near-term macro path hinges on whether producer prices confirm easing pipeline pressure or reintroduce inflation anxiety.
