This Trump Decision Will Shake The Market
In a Nutshell
Markets rallied irrationally on hotter-than-expected CPI data (core CPI up to 2.6%, overall to 3.3%, driven by 30.7% fuel oil surge), but a drop is imminent—short with SQQQ for day trades as the rally fades. PLTR gapped up on a Trump tweet touting its "war fighting capabilities," enabling a short trade with 3.91% risk-reward ratio using $150K, amid accusations of unaccountable market manipulation by politicians. Oil recovery fuels downside risks, geopolitical tensions (Iran talks, US warships) warrant avoiding weekend holds, and cash out when in doubt.

Markets are beginning to drop. Markets rallied after today's CPI data report. Core CPI increased from 2.5% to 2.6%. Overall CPI went from 2.4% to 3.3%, almost a 1% jump month over month. Markets celebrated higher inflation despite it being irrational. Reality will sink in, and this is not the last concerning inflation update. Much is driven by oil. Broke down CPI data in today's live session. 0.9% increase, no change in 2025 projection. Does not include October or November due to government shutdown, so inflation rate is probably much higher. Biggest contributor is energy, biggest line item is fuel oil with a 30.7% increase.
Shorting the market as rally won't last. Easiest way is with SQQQ, triple leverage ETF that goes up when NASDAQ goes down. SQQQ is not an investment vehicle, not for overnight holds, just day trade: get in, get out, make money. Expect bounce from overall lows to current highs, 1.9% push, but will run higher.
PLTR beginning to sell off, free fell then gapped up from lows of $124 to highs of $128. Triggered by Trump tweet: "Palantir Technologies ($PLTR) has proven to have great war fighting capabilities and equipment. Just ask our enemies. President DJT." Questions why Trump promotes company and includes ticker symbol, potentially driving buys. Where is SEC investigation? If Elon Musk did this, he'd be incarcerated; ordinary people would be in jail. Politicians voted into power never held accountable.
