A bond market "crack," as Jamie Dimon warned, could hurt stocks short-term by raising interest rates, increasing borrowing costs, and sparking risk-off sentiment, potentially leading to sell-offs, especially in growth stocks. Financial stocks, like banks, might benefit from higher yields boosting their margins. Long-term, the impact depends on economic stability—steady growth and controlled inflation could support recovery. The timing and severity are uncertain, ranging from six months to six years, so predictions are tricky. Investors might consider hedging with short-term bonds or diversifying to manage risks.

The 3.6% figure you mentioned likely refers to the quarterly change in the PCE price index from Q4 2024 to Q1 2025, as reported by the BEA in their GDP release. This isn't the annual rate, which might be causing the confusion.
The annual PCE inflation rate for Q1 2025, based on monthly averages, was around 2.5% to 2.6%. For context, the CPI, a different measure, was about 2.4% for March 2025. PCE and CPI differ due to their scope—PCE includes broader expenditures and adjusts for behavior changes, often showing slightly higher ratesThe 3.6% figure you mentioned likely refers to the quarterly change in the PCE price index from Q4 2024 to Q1 2025, as reported by the BEA in their GDP release.

BREAKING - Pete Buttigieg just now on the Yemen text leaks:
"From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe."
Resignations.
In any normal world Walz, Gabbard, Ratcliffe, Hegseth at minimum should be offering their immediate resignations. They've been in public office less than two months and already have violated their oaths, endangered national security, potentially criminally.
Come on Democrats. The Secretary of Defense was drunk texting plans of a highly classified military operation. Get on tv. Call it treason. Demand a criminal investigation. Call for resignations. And when they cover it up, Call for the public to support impeachment. This is a slam dunk
Kaufmann: DOGE claims to have found Social Security loans going to 11 year olds and under. It's a survivor benefit annuity to young children whose parents have passed. That's the problem, billionaires without a clue doing a job they don't understand
