🚨 CPI DAY IS HERE — A REALITY CHECK FOR MARKETS
Traders, brace yourselves. This Tuesday, Jan 13 at 8:30 AM ET, the U.S. CPI report drops—the first major macro volatility event of 2026. After a chaotic close to 2025, including the 43-day U.S. government shutdown, this print serves as the Fed’s first true test of the year. 📊⚡
🔥 MARKET EXPECTATIONS
Headline CPI: 2.7% YoY
