Is 2.9% Chill? Asking for 100 Million Traders.
Rate-cut purgatory, AI-fueled rallies, and constitutional questions packed into one trading day.

😎 Market Vibes
Happy Friday! The Fed's favorite inflation stat landed right on the nose, earnings reports are swinging like meme stocks, and now a sitting Fed Governor is suing a former president. No big deal - just rate-cut purgatory, AI-fueled rallies, and constitutional questions packed into one trading day.
🧊 Lukewarm Inflation Vibes
📉 Core PCE Stays Stuck: July core PCE came in at 2.9% YoY - exactly as expected, but still too spicy for the Fed to chill just yet.
🧊 Futures Cool Off: S&P 500 and Dow futures dip with Nasdaq lagging harder after the release of July core PCE report.
💥 Earnings Popcorn: Affirm spikes 15%, Autodesk jumps 12%, Elastic surges nearly 15%. On the flop side: Dell and Marvell sink 7-14% on weak guidance and chip jitters.
⚖️ Fed vs. Trump, Round 1: Governor Lisa Cook sues Trump to block her firing. Cue the political theater - and a potential constitutional headache for markets.
🌏 Global Markets Wait and See: Asia climbs on U.S. tech hype, Europe wobbles, oil and gold fade.

💸 Trade Talk
Rate-cut dreams are fading, but earnings chaos is still delivering. Affirm, Autodesk, Elastic, and Ulta all ripped higher this morning - a reminder that traders aren't done chasing upside when the setup hits just right.
🧠 Big Brain Energy
2.9% - That's July's core PCE year-over-year, exactly what economists expected... and exactly what the Fed didn't want to see. No surprise spike, no dramatic drop - just the kind of stubborn middle that keeps rate cuts locked in a holding pattern. It's the monetary equivalent of lukewarm soup: boring, but hard to ignore.

Flash Crash Fallout: Your Crypto Power Move
While most fled in panic mode, institutional players seized the drop. BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, Fidelity… quietly accumulating—they see the signal.
A single whale unloading 24,000 BTC triggered a flash crash—Bitcoin plunged, $600 million liquidated, and Ethereum dropped too.
This isn’t the end—it’s a bell‑ring for the beginning.
🧨The Outrage Meter
Fed Governor Lisa Cook has filed a lawsuit to block efforts by former President Trump to remove her from the board. The move highlights growing legal questions around the Fed's independence - and gives the Fed its first real shot at an Emmy for Best Legal Drama.

Core PCE came in at 2.9%... are rate-cuts are incoming? |
