@kptalksdollarsandsense: Everyone watches the inflation number. Almost nobody watches what’s happening underneath it. This CPI discussion isn’t just about whether inflation comes in at 2.6% or 2.7%. The bigger signal is wage growth and what it says about the labor market. For years, the Fed worried that rising wages would create a wage-price spiral, where higher pay keeps pushing inflation higher. But now, wage growth is cooling, labor markets are weakening, and that changes the entire conversation. The key takeaway? Inflation pressure may be slowing systemically, even if headline numbers still look elevated. KP explains why the labor market matters more than people think, how wage trends affect inflation, and why the Fed is paying close attention to the internals of the data.
