Start out with PPI, then we'll go to retail sales.

February PPI headline number expected to be up 3 tenths of a percent,

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom, up double, up six tenths of a percent. That would be the hottest going back to

well equals July of last year to find a higher number. You're going back to June of

22 when it was up nine tenths of a percent you strip out you strip out food and energy

it's up three-tenth one-tenth hotter but in the rearview mirror we had a

half of 1%.

You strip out food energy and trade, it's up 4 tenths.

It's up 4 tenths.

That would be the hottest, obviously,

since it was up six tenths last month.

Year over year now.

These are final demand headline numbers expected to be up 1.2 up 1.6

up 1.6 on year over year and that is wow we're going to have to go back away

as 1.6 will be the highest level going back to September of last year when it was 1.8

now the year over year that X food and energy up 2%

equaling the rearview mirror but definitely a bit hotter than we were

expecting. So X food energy and trade year over year up 2.8. That follows up 2.6 to find a higher number

than 2.8. You're going to have to go back to September of last year when it was 2.9. All these are warmer yields are going up. Now let's

switch gears shall we? Let's go to retail sales and remember every one of these

metrics was the weakest since March of 23 in terms of month over month change.

So now are we going to reverse it?
