Market Headline Today - More Layoffs from Big Tech, Prices cooling

• 10,000 layoffs for Microsoft

• This bad news is a good news? -0.1% expected and the actual came in -0.5%
• Inflation in check now?
• The price declines are driven by cheaper energy prices
• Fed policies have a delayed effect, maybe we are starting to see it now
