There will presumably be market volatility after the impending CPI release, as well as for oil.

Market participants are feeling uneasy. Investors throughout asset classes are on tiptoe ahead of Thursday morning’s NYSE start as they wait for the announcement of the US consumer price index (CPI) for Dec. the main indexes or the US Dollar, which serve as references

This specific occurrence has significantly increased volatility compared to announcements from earlier months. The larger-than-expected fall in inflation measurements contributes to speculation that the Fed will need to change its raising stance, in accordance with the macro-thread of thinking that starts with all these inflation data. It doesn’t appear that that the relatively brief term assessment for the market participants looking for instantaneous volatility takes into account the fact that the central bank has continuously resisted such viewpoints, that a lower overall peak rate doesn’t translate into the stuff of true bull markets, and that an economic downturn would probably be the price of acquiescence. However, the underlying fluxes will probably show up more vividly for a deeper macro asset, including oil.
