AI MARKET BRIEF

Markets are digesting a mixed batch of data this week. Inflation ticked up slightly on higher shelter costs, while the labor market continues to cool gradually rather than sharply — the kind of "soft landing" pattern the Fed has been aiming for. Treasury yields edged higher ahead of next week's FOMC meeting, suggesting traders aren't pricing in a near-term rate cut.
