The inflation data came in with CPI at 8.5%, even worse than expected. Markets set to rally hard in a case of buy the rumor, sell the news in reverse since the rumor wasn’t pretty. Also this really looks like the peak, the data shows the rate of increase has slowed significantly and with oil prices coming down hard in April should help propel the next month to a decreasing CPI.

I’ve read that gas is half the rise. Even if gas falls, those prices aren’t moving any time soon. Do we get a market-wide stock boom in 6mo to 1yr when production increases, gas prices fall, and corp profits boom?
