CPI for January

Inflation up 0.4% MoM in January, vs expected 0.3%
That’s up 3.1% YoY, vs expected 2.9%.

So worse than expected, meaning negative market reaction is possible. Futures down 40 points at lows so far.

SPX 0-dte 2/13/24

#SPX0dte Wiaitng until afetr CPI report, probably until the open.

I checked ATM prices before the report and they are over 21.00 for the Iron Butterfly, so about the same as it was at last night’s close, so no benefit to placing the trade day before.
