| The other day I went to Costco, and for $5.99 bought a pumpkin pie the size of a hubcap. What inflation? Costco’s hot dog/soda combo or the rotisserie chicken are loss leaders, but actual gasoline, beef, lettuce, restaurant meals, goods from overseas, and other items’ price changes have kept inflation in the headlines and impacted mortgage rates.

| Coreweave stock moved higher again overnight and Coreweave bond yields continued lower, with some issues now back to yields seen 2 weeks ago. Treasuries/MBS have been doing their best to hold sideways after last week"s rally, but can only do so much when that rally was driven by factors that are visibly unwinding.
