Thoughts on the latest CPI numbers and their impact on tech

The latest CPI print came in a bit hotter than expected, which definitely has me reconsidering some of my watchlist positions, especially in the more growth-oriented tech names. While the market didn't have a massive knee-jerk reaction, it feels like the narrative of potential rate cuts this year might be shifting, or at least getting pushed further out. I'm keeping a close eye on how this translates to 10-year yields and what that means for valuations in the higher-multiple sectors. Definitely makes me think about rotating into some more defensive plays or sectors with strong free cash flow generation for the short term.

Agree, the hotter CPI definitely complicates the rate cut narrative. I'm wondering if this pushes the Fed to maintain a hawkish stance for longer than anticipated, which would pressure growth stocks.

The CPI was definitely hotter than anticipated, but I think the market has already priced in fewer cuts. Tech might see some short-term pressure, but the long-term outlook depends more on earnings than marginal rate adjustments at this point.
