Yen Moved The Market Not CPI
From Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour recorded on January 15, 2025
Don’t miss the next Macro-to-Micro Options Power Hour, hosted every Wednesday at 4 PM EST. Registration is free.
In this short clip from Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour recorded on January 15, 2025, Samantha LaDuc and Hans Albrecht discuss the factors behind a sharp market bounce, emphasizing that it was not primarily due to a minor beat in the CPI data.
They highlight the role of algorithmic reactions, unwinding of hedges, and strong bank earnings, which alleviated market fears.
They also attribute the bounce to macroeconomic developments, such as signals from the Bank of Japan hinting at a potential rate hike, which impacted yen and bond markets, leading to lower yields and a weaker dollar.
Samantha underscores the importance of these macro factors and shares how her strategic options trade capitalized on these movements effectively.
