Summary

After yesterday’s monstrous ramp… even if we swing around 100/200pts today, it’ll be a relatively subdued day!

As things are… we’re set to open -100pts or so. Bulls can argue its just a retrace.

The CPI data is due 8.30am, and will be one excuse to recover before the open. Consensus…

Headline y/y: 2.6% vs 2.8% prior
Core y/y: 3.0% vs 3.1% prior

Considering Monday’s low of 4835, the bulls should be content with any net weekly gain (>5074), as seems probable.
