Stagnant Industrial Production signals persistent supply-side inflation risk.
HA·C:M
Regime read
Flat industrial production (102.99) amid 3.63% Fed Funds indicates supply-side rigidity, not cooling demand. This configuration sustains core inflation (3.34%) through the 'bullwhip effect,' likely keeping the 10Y yield near 4.83% as the term premium adjusts for stagflationary risks. Margin compression in industrials is the primary equity risk.
