Watching the Fed's next move on commodities, post-CPI

That CPI print yesterday was a bit hotter than many expected, wasn't it? It certainly puts the Fed in an interesting spot for the next FOMC. I'm looking at how this plays into the commodities space, specifically metals and energy. Higher for longer on rates could keep a lid on some of the more speculative plays, but then again, if inflation is sticky, isn't that a tailwind for hard assets? It's a bit of a head-scratcher. My watchlist is heavy on the defensive end right now, thinking about what holds up if the cost of capital gets squeezed. $MRVL popping 5.54% today at $234.33 is interesting in its own right, but I'm thinking more broadly about the systemic pressure points. Just trying to see the chessboard a few moves ahead.
