The shelter component of the Consumer Price Index — which includes rent and owners’ equivalent of rent — makes up 30% of overall inflation and 40% of core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices. Real-time data is showing softening rents, but the survey used to determine shelter prices lags current pricing. That disconnect could pose a problem… Source link

The rout in various asset markets at the hands of the Federal Reserve may not be over, warned former Wall Streeter and current Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz. “The bear case is we’ve got two-to-six months left of this pain,” Novogratz said on Yahoo Finance Live (video above). “The bull case is the market starts breaking.
