From a recent brief

Producer prices came in hot for a second straight month. PPI rose 0.5% month-over-month and 2.9% year-over-year. That's the cost of making things. Those costs get passed to you at the checkout counter with a delay, not a discount.

M2 Money Supply · Fed H.6 $22.44T (+4.3% YoY)

The government borrowed $6.12 billion yesterday. It did the same thing the day before. CPI says 2.4%. M2 says 4.3%. That gap is 1.9 points. Not a rounding error. If your raise was 3%, you are losing ground at 1.3% per year. Silently. Permanently.

This continues for three more sections. Every morning.

Government data. Sound money signals. No financial advice. No paywall.
