📰 Titanoflash Weekly Market Brief

This week’s U.S. inflation release isn’t just another data point—it’s the make-or-break moment for 2024 markets. With only one rate cut left on the table (vs. six expected in January), Wednesday’s CPI report could decide if we get relief… or face a summer correction.

🔥 3 Key Market Themes

1️⃣ The May CPI Report: Fed’s Last Chance
Core CPI is stuck at 3.6% YoY. If it jumps above 3.7%, rate cuts are dead for 2024.
 💡 Impact: Tech faces -5–7% selloff, while banks rally on wider spreads.

2️⃣ Bond Market Ticking Time Bomb
The 10Y Treasury is flirting with 4.5%.
 💡 Impact: Utilities (-18% YTD) & REITs (-12%) risk further collapse. Winners = Energy +9% and Staples +6% during last inflation spikes.

3️⃣ EM Meltdown as Dollar Stretches
Hot CPI = strong dollar = capital flight.
 💡 Impact: Argentina’s peso & Brazil’s stocks could lose 5–7% in 48h, while gold (+12% in past Fed shocks) becomes the safe hedge.
