greg staples, megan graber, and --megan graper and winnie cisar are still with us.ant to get your thoughts for the week ahead. what is the big data point to watch. greg, what are you watching? greg: it's gotta be cpi and core cpi. we will see headline cpi come down no question about it but looking at core will be the key statistic. katie: winnie, what about you, cpi? winnie: totally agree, it has to be cpi. we are focused on consumer sentiment but everyone will be laser focused on the cpi reading. katie: we've heard from our other two guests. it is cpi the case for you or where to bank earnings fit in? megan: i think ultimately it is cpi. bank earnings obviously a precursor to what will likely be continuation of new issue activity but i think alongside of the cpi number is the fed really needing to be vocal and continuing to hammer home their path forward. they regained control of the narrative in december. i think it is critical they continue to hammer home the exact message over the course of the week. katie: any chance we hear from any fed members stepping outsid
