Global Patterns Shape Local Decisions
Inflation trends are fundamentally global, affecting markets in interconnected ways as they rise and fall. The focus has shifted from inflation metrics to broader economic indicators, such as US payrolls and unemployment claims.

The Fed should consider normalizing interest rates in response to these trends, as inflation appears to be decreasing both locally and globally, alongside service and wage inflation tapering off.
