    The AP clearly has no idea how to read charts or infer data. The rate cuts aren’t coming. CPI is still over or target rate of 2% YoY… and we are down a massive (checks notes) .1% from 3% after they mutilated the calculations to get the 3%

    It’s not moving. Sticky inflation. Stagnant. Stag-flation if you prefer.

    Edit: I seem to have offended some AP writers.
