Inflation hits 2.8% in February, less than expected
CPI ticked up a seasonally adjusted 0.2% for the month, putting the annual inflation rate at 2.8%. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for 0.3% increases on both headline and core, with respective annual rates of 2.9% and 3.2%, meaning that all of the rates were 0.1 percentage point less than expected.

Just out of curiosity stuck…
Just out of curiosity stuck a Fibonacci retracement on the daily. The 161.8 retracement is sitting in the middle of the daily candle that is forming today on /ES/SPY/SPX.
Bottom? We won’t know until it is in the rear view mirror. As I mentioned yesterday tread lightly but there are also some opportunities developing for those if us that think a little longer term. Meaning weeks, months, and years, not 930 am to 4 pm like the day traders.
Plus premiums are inflated!!
Trade smarter 🙂
