Frequently Asked Questions

Generally, High Inflation is bad for stocks. It means higher costs for companies and lower consumer spending. Plus, higher interest rates compete with stocks for investor capital.
A term used by Central Banks to claim inflation is temporary (e.g., caused by a supply chain blockage). Traders often mock this term because "temporary" can last years.
Personal Consumption Expenditures. It is another inflation metric. The US Federal Reserve actually prefers PCE over CPI, but the market reacts more violently to CPI because it is released earlier.
Be careful. Slippage can wipe you out. Use Micro Lots or stay out until 15 minutes after the release.
Sometimes the market "Prices In" the news. If everyone bought USD yesterday expecting high inflation, they might "Sell the News" to take profit, causing USD to drop.
