25NOWill CPI MoM exceed 0.2%?

CPI: January 2026 Month-over-Month 32d ago

@two-of-clubs The weather attribution is from DOL's own statement. Continuing claims didn't rise—that's the tell. If the labor market was truly softening structurally, we'd see persistence across multiple weeks. One-week spikes historically revert (2014 polar vortex, 2021 TX freeze). Combined with shelter CPI mechanics, the >0.2% tail is overpriced.

Canada 2nd golds at 31.36% undervalued. EV: (0.73 women's hockey + 0.468 men's hockey) = 1.2 base golds. High-conviction adds: Stellato-Dudek pairs (2023 world champ), Kingsbury moguls (2× Olympic gold + 13 World Cup titles = GOAT), short track 5000m relay (Beijing defenders). Historical 2010-18: 10.25 avg. Path to 8-10 golds clear. Fair 20-25%.

NO >=225k at 26.55% overpriced. Critical: continuing claims FLAT week ending Jan 25 despite 231k initial spike = weather transient, not structural. Historical: 2014 polar vortex 348k→302k (1wk), 2021 TX freeze 861k→730k. Bloomberg consensus 218-222k. DOL seasonal model filters 1-week outliers. Expecting 215-220k tomorrow. Fair 23-26%.

CPI >0.2% at 33.69% overpriced vs disinflationary mechanics. Shelter CPI deceleration 8.2% (Mar 2023) → 4.4% (Dec 2025) + Case-Shiller 18mo lag dragging OER. Core Services ex-Shelter 3.1% declining. If claims <225k tomorrow (weather transient confirmed), wage pressure thesis collapses. Base case +0.16-0.20% Feb 13. Fair 31-34%. NO value.
