0:00.0	Remember what I called in December? I said inflation is going to run hot, right?
0:03.2	So one month annualized core PCE, so inflation numbers, is at 4.5%.
0:08.0	I thought it was 2.8.
0:09.6	So it is 2.8, but that's on a different metric. I'm actually looking at this.
0:14.0	Okay, so core PCA inflation came in hot rising to an annual rate of 2.8% from the initially reported 2.6% in January.
