This coming week

What are everybody’s thoughts on this coming week? Cpi comes out this week which could make things really interesting. The question is if cpi is more or less of a concern compared to what just happened this past week. Looking at options chains for a lot of major stocks it seems that things are still very crazy, with calls and puts still expensive. I’ve been playing around with amzn options switching back and forth between calls and puts and both have become super expensive. What are everybody’s thoughts?

I think that we will be seeing a little bounce on Monday as dip buyers move in. That’s when I will be setting up verticals on the short side. We will end next week down another 10% to 15%.

The other thing is if the market takes into account the cpi report, and how much it’ll be in focus if any. With constant tariff news cpi could get put on the back burner.

I’m thinking if it’s bad it’ll push the market lower if it’s good it will be ignored.

Agreed. A hotter than expected cpi will just add to the doomsday narrative. Cpi coming in as expected might not move the market alone. A better than expected cpi could soften the blow but still think the floor has yet to come in yet.
