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’d guess the week will be dominated by tariff discussions, cpi likely to get lost in all of that noise. If countries start coming to the table and Trump indicates this was all a very stupid negotiating ruse and he’ll cut a deal there could be rallies, if they start announcing workarounds that don’t include the US we will have another diarrhea geyser.

I think we’d rally if trump walks back tariffs and if cpi comes in as expected or cooler. Mango also likes to play for dramatic effect so it could go either way.

We’d have rally’s but there’s a real chance we still get cooked, china is gonna want something to back off and others may follow. China already filed a complaint on us with the WTO, countries are not so shockingly on chinas side, yeah we might rally for a few days but if trump doesn’t start kissing ass and bowing himself we might lose some serious economic power, especially are “soft” power that comes with economic confidence.
