Connection thesis
CPI at 327.46 (persistent inflation) combined with Fed Funds at 3.64% means real rates are still positive but compressed. The CNBC report ('prices may rise more than Fed predicts') is essentially a warning that the Fed is behind the curve. Yet the Fed Funds Rate has been held steady, and the 10Y-2Y spread at 0.51 inverted suggests the market expects rate CUTS, not holds. This is incoherent: inflation is sticky, but markets are pricing easing. This incoherence is being masked by geopolitical noise (Iran), but when the macro picture comes back into focus (jobs data, CPI revision cycles), the disconnect will resolve sharply.

Prediction
Within 24h, yields will rise and equity volatility will spike as the sticky-inflation narrative (via CNBC/forecasting groups) conflicts with the cut-priced yield curve. The geopolitical 'noise trade' is masking a macro contradiction that will re-surface.
