Colourful infographic titled “Bank Stocks After CPI.” Three panels compare XLF as broad financials, KBE as US banks, and KRE as high-beta regionals.

A gold banner lists CPI at 3.4% headline, core +0.3%, FOMC on 16 September, and “Not investment advice.”

A gold banner at the bottom lists CPI on Friday 11 September at 8:30am ET and the FOMC decision on Wednesday 16 September at 2:00pm ET, plus things to watch: core, shelter, services, hike odds, the 2-year yield and the dollar. Footer reads “Not investment advice.”
