One hour before the market opens, December’s CPI inflation report is released, and this data point often sets the tone for the entire trading session. Inflation directly drives Federal Reserve interest rate decisions. Higher inflation pressures rates upward and slows economic growth, while cooling inflation opens the door for rate cuts. Because of this, CPI regularly sparks major pre-market volatility and can determine the short-term direction of stocks. The stock market is currently on a 4 CPI day win streak, and historically, markets have performed well after CPI releases, even when trading at all-time highs. We’ll break down the stats showing how the market typically reacts and address the common concern: Is CPI dangerous when we’re already at ATHs? However, there’s also growing uncertainty beneath the surface. Federal prosecutors have reportedly opened a criminal investigation into Fed Chair Jerome Powell, raising concerns about Federal Reserve independence, something that plays a critical role in long-term market stability, inflation expectations, and investor confidence. Meanwhile, gold and silver continue to move higher, signaling a potential hedge against uncertainty even as equities push to new highs, suggesting the market may not be fully pricing in these risks yet.
