Meanwhile Denver just hit 60° for the 28th time this winter.
That's now Denver's 2nd-most 60°+ winter days on record.

The Fed remains backward-looking, but the path of inflation has
already turned. A protracted period of disinflation will
characterize 1H26, gradually shifting the Fed's rate cut outlook
toward more easing than currently reflected in Dot Plots or
futures.
The Warsh nomination complicates this picture in the
near-term.Markets are pricing Warsh as more hawkish than
the current Fed, less supportive of deep rate cuts, and more
concerned about inflation. However, Warsh won't take the chair
until Powell's term expires, and the underlying inflation data will
continue to drive policy in the interim.
Labor is the other vector greasing the skids for cuts: AI's
impact on entry-level employment continues weighing on the Fed's
dual mandate. Stanford/ADP research confirms that since late 2022,
entry-level headcount in the most AI-exposed jobs has fallen 6%,
while mid-career and low-exposure cohorts rose 9-13%.
~$500-600B in net T-Bill and short-end purchases will drive SOMA
holdings back above $6.6T by year-end. The Fed already pivoted
toward front-end Reserve Management Purchases (QE-Lite) in
mid-December.
Key Supporting Factors:
Home prices have been decelerating for 18 months. This leads
CPI Shelter OER by 18 months
Zillow's Rental Index continues decelerating; rental vacancy
rates are rising
Core goods disinflation has started; shipping costs are set to
be disinflationary in 1H26
Wage growth leads core services ex-shelter inflation by ~12
months, and the low/falling quits rate signals declining worker
bargaining power

Q4 2025 earnings: Services Boom Masks US Consumer Slowdown
Mastercard delivered a strong finish to 2025 with revenue
accelerating to 18% YoY, beating the full-year pace of 16%.
However, the composition of growth raises questions. The result was
heavily powered by a 26% surge in Value-Added Services and strong
international performance (+12% GDV). In sharp contrast, the core
US market decelerated significantly to 4.1% volume growth,
suggesting domestic consumer fatigue. While Adjusted EPS grew 25%
to $4.76, rising rebates (+20%) and tax headwinds (Pillar 2) remain
persistent drags on structural leverage.
