US CPI and Fed Chair Warsh take center stage this week.

The coming week is headlined by two events that have the potential to reshape expectations for Federal Reserve policy and drive volatility across the U.S. dollar, Treasury yields, equities, and precious metals. The first—and arguably most important—will be Tuesday’s June CPI report, released at 8:30 AM ET. Inflation remains the primary focus for both the

Yields Break First as Markets Wait for Inflation Confirmation

Yields Break First as Markets Wait for Inflation Confirmation

Investors had to navigate renewed US-Iran tensions, hawkish FOMC minutes, a surprise rate hike from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, stronger-than-expected Canadian employment, and signs of structural policy shifts in Japan. Despite the unusually dense news flow, most major asset

However, true to the recent roller-coaster price action, many of
