MARKET WATCH | THE MONTH’S BIGGEST MACRO EVENT IS HERE ⚡️
All eyes are on Friday’s CPI report (8:30AM ET) — the data drop that could shake everything from stocks and bonds to the Fed’s next move.
Expectations:
📊 Headline CPI: +0.39% MoM (+3.1% YoY)
📊 Core CPI: +0.30% MoM (+3.1% YoY)
JPMorgan’s playbook:
🚀 Core < 0.25% → Equities could surge (+1% to +1.5%)
📉 Core > 0.4% → Risk assets may tumble (-1.5% to -2.25%)
⚖️ In-between → Expect messy, sideways trading
Markets still expect a 25bps Fed cut next week, but one hot CPI print could flip that narrative instantly.
