While the stock market cratered upon the release of a new report showing inflation rising, the White House celebrated the demise of inflation. In one of the worst-timed political PR events in world history, the Biden Administration held a party to commemorate passage of the Inflation Reduction Act... just as the new data was released.

However, even without food and energy, inflation picked up steam last month, as core CPI rose back above six percent year-on-year, and 0.6% month-on-month...
