In today’s Money Weekend…last night’s CPI figures…a large miss could ignite a huge move in markets in either direction…strong selling could return…and more…

The CPI figures released last night will create market direction for the foreseeable future. I shot the ‘Closing Bell’ video yesterday afternoon, so I don’t know whether they came in above or below market expectations.

But the charts are neatly poised at a point where a large miss could ignite a huge move in markets in either direction.

A hot CPI inflation figure could see strong selling return. Particularly, the ASX 200 is at risk of further downside now that the final pillar of the banks supporting the market has been knocked over with the 50-basis-point rate rise.

If CPI was below expectations, there is certainly the possibility that we see a sharp short squeeze in the short term, but it wouldn’t negate the overall bearish bigger picture.

I show you a detailed analysis of the setup in the ASX 200 and S&P 500 in the latest instalment of the ‘Closing Bell’ above.

Until next week,

We don’t know where Trump is taking the world. But we do know the Aussie government game plan. It’s simple… Spend! Spend! Spend! Yes, it’s our tax dollars going out, no doubt some of it due to be wasted and squandered. We can’t stop that. What we can do is own the firm(s) that might be on the receiving end. Here’s an idea…
