    • Markets found some reprieve from cooler-than-expected US PPI, taking some of the edge off Wednesday's hot CPI data that drove meaningful hawkish repricing of Fed rate path. Also thoughts PPI data dampens PCE upside risk. Post-CPI Fedspeak leaning hawkish with officials pushing patience mantra. Markets now pricing in less than two Fed rate cuts in 2024 while multiple economists have since pushed out expected timing of first rate cut.
