Apollo made a HUGE call on Sunday:
For the first time since the "Fed pivot" began, Apollo has officially declared inflation back on the rise. They warn of a potential repeat the 1970s as the Fed cuts rates into rising inflation. Apollo says the probability of the Fed RAISING interest rates in 2025 is now rising. Here's why: 👉 First, measures of inflation stickiness are all now well above the Fed's 2% target. In fact, the Atlanta Fed Core Sticky CPI index has leveled off near 4%. ALL major measures of CPI stickiness are now above 3%. 👉 Meanwhile, core CPI has levelled off at 3.3% fore multiple months in a row. This was "fine" because headline CPI was moving in a straight-line to 2% all year. However, as of the latest CPI inflation data, it's now RISING and back to 2.7%. Source: The Kobeissi Letter, Apollo
