Stock Market Muted Following Moody's Downgrades, Ahead Of Critical Inflation Report: If Volatility Spikes, This Fund Offers Leverage
Portfolio Pulse from Melanie Schaffer
Ahead of the release of key July inflation data, the SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY) traded mostly flat. This follows volatile price action on Tuesday due to Moody’s downgrading 10 U.S. small and mid-sized banks. The upcoming U.S. consumer price index (CPI) data will be crucial for the market, potentially influencing the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rate hikes. If CPI data is higher than expected, market volatility may increase, and traders may choose to leverage this through the Convexity Daily 1.5x SPIKES Futures ETF (NYSE:SPKY).
