Inflation Report Influences Stock Market

The stock market reacted to a higher-than-expected inflation report, causing a sell-off. The CPI print came out at 3.1% on the year, surpassing economists' expectations of 2.9%. The report revealed that valuations reflect market expectations, and when reality deviates from these expectations, it can lead to selling. The market had previously anticipated a rate cut from the Federal Reserve, but the decreased possibility of a rate cut led to a negative market response.

I used to use a different app that was able to save excerpts from podcast and really enjoyed it. I could listen to the podcast and quickly save things that I wanted to come back to later. Snipd take this to a whole new level with AI integration, creating summaries of podcasts and summarizing the main takeaways from what I’ve saved and snipped. I really love how it helps me prioritize what podcast to listen to with it summaries & deep dives.
