Markets expect the Fed over its next two meetings in March and May to raise its overnight borrowing rate another half a percentage point from its current target range of 4.5%-4.75%. January's CPI report will take some time to analyze, as the BLS changed its methodology in how it reports the index. That number rose 0.2% in January and was up 4% from a year ago. The Fed also changed how it computes an important component called owners' equivalent rent, a measure of how much property owners could get if they rented. "If retail sales also show strength tomorrow, the Fed may have to increase their funds rate target to 5.5% in order to tame inflation." There's widespread belief that the economy could tip into at least a shallow recession later this year or early in 2023. The component accounts for more than one-third of the index and rose 0.7% on the month and was up 7.9% from a year ago.

Flower painting emerges as an independent European form in the Ghent-Bruges School of manuscript decorators after 1475. From China came the azalea, the camellia, chrysanthemum, magnolia and new types of rose.
