What it means
A surprisingly cool CPI print has historically been associated with a sharp repricing of rate-hike expectations: front-end Treasury prices tend to rise as yields fall, growth equities often rally on a lower discount rate, and the dollar tends to soften as rate-hike bets are unwound. The key driver here is the genuine surprise element — consensus had been leaning toward another hike, and a meaningfully cooler-than-expected print is the kind of new information that moves markets.
