#SPX0dte I’ve thrown in the towel on neutral trades for the week, given the failure of every trade I have tried, the out-sized intraday swings every day, and another big move in the futures this morning. On this spike higher I did buy a put spread. If we get another drop down I will close that and look for something long. Keeping it cheap, however.

Inflation picks up again in June, rising 2.7%
The consumer price index, a broad-based measure of goods and services costs, increased 0.3% on the month, putting the 12-month inflation rate at 2.7%, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Tuesday. The numbers were right in line with the Dow Jones consensus.
