Kevin Hincks says shelter prices softening was a big component to the latest CPI data being slightly lower than expected. September's delayed inflation print was released Friday after furloughed BLS employees were brought back to compile the data. One item that stood out to Kevin: Gasoline prices going higher, as crude oil prices fell nearly 9% in the month. Overall, he suggests it is a "benign" print and clears the way for investors to focus on trade discussions and upcoming earnings. Kevin says next week will be an "enormous" week with 5 of the Mag 7 earnings names alongside Pres. Trump and Pres. Xi meeting to discuss U.S./China trade relations.
