Tomorrow night at 8:30 PM, the US CPI data will be released. I’ve observed an interesting phenomenon: on the days when comparatively important data like CPI and Non-Farm Employment are released, if you go back and look at the market during that time window—starting from around 1 or 2 PM all the way until 8:30 PM—you’ll find that the market actually gives the answer in advance. Before the release, it will often start to “press it down” earlier: it will rise slowly to a certain extent, then fall slowly to a certain extent. Then, the direction of the intense volatility right before the 8:30 PM release basically matches the direction of “the funds pressing it down” during the afternoon. In other words, they are essentially the same, with a very high degree of accuracy.
