Breakfast Bites - Wed Apr 12, 2023

Rise and shine everyone


It’s CPI Day - released at 8:30amET. We also have the FOMC minutes being released at 2pm ET. It should be interesting to see the comments on the banking crisis. I’m sure there was far more discussion than what we heard during the press conference.


US futures are slightly flat, after taking a dive before the close yesterday. Tech however, remains flat with big tech slightly down. Bitcoin is down from yesterday but, just crossed back over $30,000. Gold and Oil are slightly higher while the USD Index is slightly weaker. Bond yields are slightly higher as well.


Everyone is waiting for the latest inflation numbers.
