Since the rate cut on Tuesday, all the indicators of inflation have moved into the red zone.

It takes time for inflationary pressures to result in general price rises; it's not something you're going to see overnight. And that's assuming the money supply has actually expanded. I'm not sure if making the existing supply cheaper will have the same effect.

In the next three sentences Luskin looks to the indicators in the "red zone":

Gold has moved to new cycle highs. Oil has moved to all-time highs. And the dollar has fallen to all-time lows.

These markets are quite liquid and pretty efficient. Therefore in the aggregate they reflect a pertty informed expectation. Agree that CPI is a trailing metric.
