  • The
    times in the left-most column are GMT.
  • The
    numbers in the right-most column are the ‘prior’ (previous
    month/quarter as the case may be) result. The number in the column
    next to that, where there is a number, is the consensus median
    expected.

Via a Bloomberg report is this from Goldman Sachs (gated):

  • Expect the S&P 500 to drop at least 2% should the year-over-year inflation rate come in above the previous reading of 6%
  • stocks are likely to go higher if CPI meets or trails 5.1%
  • “Stock market wants a softer print as a hot reading will add more confusion/uncertainty into the equation of what the Fed does from here,”
  • “Another hike in May but then aggressive cuts in Q4? This is what Fed fund futures are pricing in ahead of tomorrow’s print.”
