Tariffs and sticky service costs keep inflation firm as companies slowly pass higher prices to consumers.

Translation:
Inflation’s not cooling — it’s just getting comfortable.

Tariffs Still Biting — CPI Stuck at 3%
→ Headline CPI: ▲ 0.4% MoM / ▲ 3.1% YoY — no real progress toward 2%.
→ Core CPI: ▲ 0.3% MoM / ▲ 3.1% YoY — services still doing the heavy lifting.
→ Fed cut odds: ~100% for next week.

Gold isn’t rallying on hype — it’s rallying on distrust. 1979 had inflation panic; 2025 has credibility panic. The more the market questions policy, the stronger the bid for metal that doesn’t tweet, default, or dilute.

→ Trading volumes: up 34% MoM as gold logged 13 fresh all-time highs last month.
→ Context: A softening dollar, growing Fed-cut bets, and lingering doubts about Fed independence are feeding the haven trade.

Takeaway:
Amazon is going after mass-market share, betting sub-$5 essentials can pull shoppers deeper into its ecosystem.

Amazon Bets on $5 Groceries
→ #AMZN unveiled Amazon Grocery, a new private-label brand merging Fresh + Happy Belly.

Takeaway:
Gold’s breakout is fueled by shutdown-driven dollar weakness, central-bank buying, and the biggest monthly ETF inflows in 3 years. Silver’s rally shows the haven trade is broadening, not fading.

The takeaway:
Rate cuts are fueling safe-haven demand. But after a 10% climb in 5 weeks, some warn gold’s looking overbought.
