(Thursday's upcoming report on the producer price index, aka wholesale prices), as that is, roughly, a 3.6% annualized rate.

Odd they haven't updated Tuesday's CPI numbers with actuals as of 10:40 AM EDT Wednesday (I just checked the link), anyway they came in at 0.2% for both the regular CPI and the core CPI, month over month. LBN's CPI thread (graphs in #15): https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143458249

In other news: Both Dow and S&P 500 up about 0.10% (yes, tiny) at the moment.
