CPI Report Could Shake Markets This Week | Weekend Update

Video description: **Outlook for the Next 30 Days** I am **Cautiously Bullish** for the next 30 days. Despite the pullback in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq last week, the price action remains constructive. The rotation into Small Caps (IWM) is a healthy sign of market breadth rather than fear. With the Federal Reserve having cut rates again last week, the "Fed Put" is supportive of asset prices. Historically, the second half of December favors the "Santa Claus Rally," and the current consolidation in tech may provide the fuel for that next leg up. However, caution is warranted this specific week: the release of delayed Jobs and CPI data creates a binary risk event. If the data comes in "hot" (high inflation/strong labor), it could spook the bond market, but if it confirms a soft landing, expect the rally to broaden into year-end. Keep positions sized responsibly until the inflation data settles.
