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,

2 Stock Ideas for the Next 12 months
By Callum Newman

One sector I think could be prospective for alpha in the next 12 months is shares related to the property market. I’ll put a caveat on this: I thought this back in 2023 too, and it hasn’t worked so far. Probably a timing issue. Rate cuts are bang in sight for the market now. Here’s some ideas…
Gold bulls: Don’t forget this
By Callum Newman

Long term there’s still so much to like about the Aussie gold sector. Exploration and development are going to surge here. My last report for my advisory Australian Small Cap Investigator was on a cracking gold story in the junior resource space. This is not just dependent on a rising gold price. It’s an exploration campaign that could blow the socks off the market if it comes off. And if it doesn’t? Well, that’s factored into the plan too.
May You Live in Interesting Times: Hedging for the Unknown
By James Cooper

In today’s issue, James Cooper asks the uncomfortable question: Does Australia stick with Team USA or shift its allegiance to China? Soon, we may be forced to make that decision. And Both have consequences.]
