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?

Tariffs are such a big problem , people are going to tank this markets , irrespective of CPI, it’s quite evident that tariffs will hit inflation accelerator

I think March cpi won’t be as bad as April cpi. Those sweeping tariffs were announced the beginning of this month. Not saying the report this week won’t be bad but I don’t see it being worse than April cpi only because of these crazy sweeping tariffs.
