How will CPI affect S&P 500 today and Fed rate cut odds?

A cooler CPI would support risk appetite, ease yields, and improve Fed rate cut odds, helping S&P 500 today approach resistance. A sticky reading could lift yields, weaken multiples, and keep the index pinned near the lower half of the range. Services inflation and shelter are key components to watch.

What does Iran truce risk mean for oil and Canadian investors?

A credible ceasefire can reduce crude’s risk premium, aiding consumer and transport sectors. A breakdown risks an oil spike, which can pressure margins and equities. For Canadians, stronger oil can lift TSX energy and CAD, partly offsetting US equity weakness but trimming unhedged S&P 500 today returns when CAD rises.

Should Canadians hedge USD exposure when trading S&P 500 today?

Hedge if you expect CAD to strengthen on softer CPI or higher oil, which can reduce unhedged USD gains. Stay unhedged if you see USD support from firm yields or risk aversion. Match hedging to your time horizon, volatility tolerance, and how much TSX energy already offsets your currency risk.
