Investors have refrained from making big moves

Investors have refrained from making big moves ahead of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the crucial data that will dictate markets this week. In particular, this week comes with a flood of indicators, including retail sales and new unemployment benefits, that will provide clues about prices, employment and consumption.

With the most important clues about recession and prices, which have been the biggest catalyst for the market in recent years, the market seems to be taking a wait-and-see approach by reducing movement as much as possible.

In particular, the consumer price index should have an appropriately warm (?) index that is not too hot or too cold. If prices are higher than expected, concerns that inflation will reignite or the Fed's expectations for a rate cut could face cold water.

Conversely, if there is a signal that prices have cooled too much, the market is likely to recognize it as a sign of a recession. In addition to inflation data, retail sales show spending trends among consumers and unemployment benefits provide clues to the job market, which is likely to continue the market this week.

Wall Street is still hot on the floor. There is a tight race between the position that the floor is not here yet and the position that it is. It is also important to consider that if investor sentiment comes up with a weak indicator, especially at a time when the flash crash last week, the rebound could be responded with a sell-off to make up for losses.
