Inflation week ends with a new #AI market star


️️😅 No inflation surprise. Both the November core CPI and PPI #Inflation came in in-line. While still stubbornly trending higher than the Fed’s target rate, the data likely secures the expected #RateCuts next week.

🎁 Custom AI present. Markets cheering a new potential market opportunity with application-specific #AI chips. Custom #AI chips may be a $60B to 90B market by 2027 with some #BigTech already working on them.

️🍸 Inflation hangover. The S&P 500 ends the week down -0.6% ahead of the Fed meeting next week. Investors were cheerful the inflation data likely secures next week’s #RateCuts, but some concern that the sticky data may potentially impact 2025 expectations.
