Sort of sounds like more than offishul inflation, to us… but we just sit lookin at picture:

For now it looks solid but how does the market like it?

Dow futures were up 163 and the Nasdaq popped 121 – so maybe the micro-bounce will get legs.

People like me will be asking “So is this a small Elliott 2 up of the first Elliott Big 1 down? and then we head into Wave 3 of 3 of 1 down in the larger scale?”
