Key takeaways

Recent data on PPI and CPI have been less good, showing dependence of disinflation on goods."
"January data made things harder but should not put too much weight on the month's information given seasonal issues."
"Ease of hiring is not yet back to normal but conditions are improving."
"Interest sensitive sectors are struggling but people still have money to spend on services, experiences."
"Productivity metrics are poor, need to be viewed over longer time periods."
"Weaker growth overseas should not have much impact on a US recovery driven by domestic consumption."
