Markets at All-Time Highs, Big Data Ahead + A Free Trade Idea
Hey Traders,
The S&P 500 (SPX) is trading right near all-time highs at 6966.28, and momentum continues to stay strong. With bullish sentiment in control at the moment, we could possibly see SPX push toward the 7,000 level this week. While price action has been impressive, this is also the point where volatility can return quickly — especially with a packed macro calendar ahead.
Speaking of which, this week is loaded with key economic data that could move markets:
- Tuesday: CPI (Inflation data)
- Wednesday: PPI (Producer inflation)
- Thursday: Initial Jobless Claims
Each of these reports will help shape expectations around inflation, interest rates, and the Fed’s next move — meaning traders should be prepared for faster moves and potential volatility spikes.
On top of that, we’re officially kicking off earnings season, with major banks reporting this week. One of the biggest names on deck is JPMorgan (JPM), which often sets the tone for the financial sector and broader market sentiment.
