US CPI on the Horizon: A Probabilistic Outlook
Considering the recent trend in core inflation and the slight softening in wages, I'm giving about a 60% chance that the upcoming CPI print comes in softer than expected, potentially leading to a re-evaluation of Fed tightening pace. A print showing disinflationary pressures could push $GOOGL back towards the upper end of its recent range, perhaps around 345, by month-end.
While a softer CPI would certainly be a market mover, tying it directly to GOOGL hitting a specific price point like $345 seems a bit speculative. There are many variables beyond a single inflation report that influence individual stock performance.
