All Eyes on the Print
📆 Tuesday, July 15, 2025 | ⏰ 11:00 London/BST / 06:00 NY/EDT
📦 Status: Macro markets on pause ahead of key CPI print. All reactions hinge on inflation tone.
📉 Market Intelligence Recap (Monday → Tuesday London)
Markets enter CPI with a fragile bullish lean. SPX is pressing the 6,300 level as bond yields fade. Tech (NDX) outpaces broader indices, riding positive momentum into the event. Gold and Silver continue their measured climb, signalling anticipation of a dovish inflation surprise. BTC breaks from equity correlation and underperforms sharply. DXY holds firm, but sits at a technical inflexion.
📉 Yesterday’s Data Recap
• 3-Month Bill Auction → 4.245% vs 4.255% prior → flat bias
• 6-Month Bill Auction → 4.125% vs 4.145% prior → yield softening signals
🧠 Macro Read
All macro eyes are fixed on this morning’s CPI data. Expectations are tilted dovish, but the asymmetry is clear — a hot print will do more damage than a soft one will excite. Positioning shows lean risk-on, especially in metals. Bonds are firm. Risk: volatility compression + Fed speakers + CPI = explosive potential.
