Macklem just dropped a heads-up on what's coming down the pipe for inflation numbers. The central banker expects a short-lived bump in price pressures over the coming weeks—nothing structural, just base effects doing their thing. Last year's tax holiday is about to show up in the year-over-year comparisons, creating that temporary optical spike. Classic statistical quirk. The underlying message? Don't panic when those headline CPI prints tick higher. This ain't a trend reversal, just calendar math catching up. Markets should probably look through the noise and focus on the core trajectory instead.

It's just the base effect, a numbers game.

It's the same old story... base effect, optical spike, always sound so grandiose, but actually it just means don't trust the numbers you see with your eyes.

It's the same rhetoric again—base effect, optical spike... Basically, it's just a numbers game.

Once again with that "don't judge by surface numbers"? So the impact of last year's tax cuts only now showing up? This is statistical magic. Core inflation is the real thing. If you can't see through this, brother, don't speculate in crypto.

The benchmark effect rhetoric... sounds like it's paving the way for a future price increase. I just can't quite believe it.

The rhetoric about the base effect has been heard too many times; basically, don't pay too much attention to the surface numbers.
