Data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Wednesday showed that US CPI rose by 4.2% year-over-year in May, marking its highest level since early 2023 and signaling that CPI inflation has broken the 4% threshold for the first time in three years.

The May CPI report drops Wednesday, June 10 at 8:30 AM ET — and the timing could hardly be worse. Crude is still pricey on the Iran war's Hormuz risk premium, the $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ just absorbed a post- $Broadcom (AVGO.US)$ AI/Tech selloff, and 10Y yields sit at 4.55% with the YTD high (4.67%) one hot print away. This is the last major inflation reading before the June 17 FOMC, and the tape is bracing for the hottest headline numb...

Semiconductor stocks have had a choppy week. The $iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX.US)$ (SOXX) has pulled back roughly 5.6% over the past five sessions—enough to remind investors that chip-linked names still behave as high-beta exposure even when longer-term demand narratives remain intact.

$VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH.US)$ put skew flashes a bearish tilt on semis. The 25-delta put-call IV spread on SMH has spiked to ~6.5 vol points, well above its 20-day average and 250-day average. Traders are paying a sharp premium for downside protection on chips — the steepest skew since late March. With CPI to release Wednesday and FOMC ...

March CPI drops Friday, April 10 at 8:30am ET. A ceasefire has sparked a sharp relief rally -- the S&P 500 surged 2.4%, the Dow jumped over 1,300 points, and semis ripped 6.3% -- but this print covers March -- when oil hit $119, jet fuel spiked 75%, and the Iran war choked Strait of Hormuz transit. The FOMC minutes confirmed the "vast majority" of participants see elevated risks tobothinflation and employment. No rate cuts ar...

Last Friday, when the market was selling off hard, I posted: "Scared of the dump? Don't be fooled."
The Nasdaq dropped 4.2%. The S&P fell 2.6%. Its worst day since October 2025. Portfolios bleeding. Panic everywhere.
The trigger? A strong jobs report. Employers added 172,000 jobs in May. It was nearly double what analysts expected.
And the market treated good economic news like the end of the world.
My point was simple: a strong j...

CPI data came in at 4.2% tonight, within analysts expectations - ie priced in by the market already.
Traders now give a 66% chance of a rate hike by december 2026 - if you recall, we started the year with 2 rate cuts priced in. If indeed a rate hike comes to pass, this may be good news for bank NIM earnings.
The only exceptions that can lead to a rate cut are:
1) If Trump pressures his puppet Warsh to cut rates, despite the high inflation. You saw ho...
