Title: Inflation Didn't Surprise Anyone. That's the Story.

BREAKING. PCE came in exactly where people expected. 3.7%. Core PCE? Same deal. 3.3%. No shock. No drama.

Look, I know what you're thinking. "Nothing changed, so why should I care?" Fair question. Markets spend days arguing over tiny differences, then the numbers finally drop... and they're exactly what everyone already had on the whiteboard.

Honestly, this is one of those reports that doesn't hand either side a win. Inflation didn't suddenly get worse. It didn't magically cool off either. It just sat there, almost like it's refusing to cooperate, which means the Fed isn't getting any fresh excuse to change its playbook overnight.

So yeah. Expectations matched reality. Sounds boring. Sometimes boring is the biggest headline of the day. Markets will stop staring at this report in about five minutes and start hunting for the next thing to obsess over. That's how this game works.
