Agreed. But the main reasons this hot report has me worried are political: it increases the likelihood that Trump will (a) politicize monetary policy, bc the Fed isn't delivering the rate cuts he wants (b) start corrupting the BLS. And after the past 3 weeks, are these implausible?
I'll point out that even threatened tariffs can cause price increases as firms accelerate orders/demand in the face of constant supply.
And the year starts with an inflationary bang. May be partly exacerbated by seasonal issues--but those same issues also artificially muted earlier months.

Core CPI annual rates:
1 month: 5.2%
3 months: 3.6%
6 months: 3.4%
12 months: 3.3%

Rooting for the dictator that he and other Christian nationalists have called for - a President who answers to no one.
