Inflation is heating up again and markets are feeling the sting right now.

The latest Inflation Rate YoY just printed at 4.8 percent... a full four tenths hotter than the 4.4 percent reading before it. That’s the biggest jump in months and it’s slamming European futures lower as traders price in stickier prices for longer.

Core Inflation Rate YoY Flash held steady at 2.3 percent... but the headline numbers are clearly dominating the tape. Inflation Rate YoY Flash came in at an estimated 2.9 percent, up from 2.6, while the monthly pace also accelerated.

GDP Growth Rate YoY Prel slowed to 7.1 percent from 7.6... adding to the picture of an economy that’s still running hot enough to keep central banks on edge.

Bitcoin is giving back ground in Asian trade, oil is sliding on the stronger inflation data, and all eyes now turn to what this means for tomorrow’s SPX open and VIX levels.
