Soft US inflation could boost the S&P500 and gold! | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote

Russia halted crude flows to Hungary, Slovakia, and Czech Republic yesterday because sanctions prevented payment of a transit fee. But oil bulls are also quite this week, as US and Iran could finally reach a nuclear agreement, which would then unlock the Iranian oil and give a certain relief to the tight-supply market.

On earnings front, Coinbase missed estimates and Micron Technology was the latest US chipmaker to warn of a significant slowdown in chip demand, yesterday. While US chip stocks suffer this year, their Chinese counterparts grow fast.

Today is probably the most important day of the week in terms of economic data, as the US will reveal its latest CPI data, and investors have high expectations of seeing a softer figure in July.

A CPI figure in line with expectations, or ideally softer will certainly temper the hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed) expectations, pull US yields lower and trigger a relief rally across stock markets and gold. How far could the rally extend?
