US30 holding up amidst CPI chatter
Watching the $US30 today, it's pretty interesting how it's managing to stay relatively flat around the 53700 mark, even with all the recent inflation talk ahead of the upcoming CPI data. We saw a slight dip, but it's largely been range-bound between 53673.47 and 53890.84, currently sitting at 53732.41. Feels like the market is digesting a lot, maybe not fully pricing in a clear direction on inflation yet, or perhaps there's a baseline expectation already baked in.
This relative stability makes me wonder if there's less fear of a significant surprise than some of the headlines suggest. I'm keeping a close eye on the sector rotation, looking for anything that might hint at where institutional money is trying to position itself if CPI comes in hot or cold. Definitely makes me pause on any aggressive short-term moves until we get more clarity.
It's holding for now, but CPI could easily blow it out of that range. This calm before the storm is usually when positions get trapped.
