🤔 My Thoughts
Did President Trump call his shot?
By deregulating energy prices, and business in general, PPI (producer price index) inflation is starting to tick down.
PPI tells an important story about input costs for manufacturing and industrial companies – and we just got a lower report for February PPI, meaning those prices are cooling off.
For Trump defenders – this is his way to have his cake and eat it too.
If we can get energy prices and input costs down significantly, we can see lower prices even in the face of inflationary policies like tariffs and the still massive amount of government spending (that is stalling out in the Senate thanks to Democrat objections.)
Whether you love or hate the president, Let’s hope he pulls this off! Lower PPI means lower prices for consumers, and cheap energy is arguably the most important factor in a healthy, growing economy.
But the markets still aren’t convinced, at least for the short term. We’re still seeing plenty of volatility and a red open.
So right now in the war between higher tariffs and lower energy, tariffs are winning, and that means we’ll keep seeing volatility.
That’s why you need a trading strategy that can win DURING volatile and bearish conditions – like the one I used to nab an 80% on AAPL yesterday – all while the stock was falling.
If you want to see exactly how I nailed that one – and more importantly the next trade using this 84% win rate strategy, tune in for today’s “Happy Hour” broadcast at 4 PM EST
