Inflation and Trading — How CPI Moves Markets
Inflation data (CPI, PCE) moves stocks, bonds, currencies, and commodities. Higher-than-expected inflation typically causes stocks to fall (rate hike expectations), bonds to fall (yield rises), USD to strengthen, and gold to rise as inflation hedge. Trading inflation requires careful position sizing — the moves can be sharp.
