The last couple of trading sessions is atypical of what we saw in the last couple of months. Volatility totally subsided and we are trading in a range. This suggests that the market is gearing up for something. Most likely traders are waiting for the Friday inflation print. I think it's prudent to keep hedges on; if inflation comes in significantly under drop the hedges other wise keep them on and sell into weakness if the inflation print comes in high.
I think inflation comes in high; higher energy prices, higher food prices, houses/rents still rising (albeit slower - still seeing +16% yoy). Inflation has not peaked imo.
