Why it's moving

Nudged to a fresh high after the soft inflation print — the whole US tape reads a cooler CPI as ‘the Fed can ease’.

What's moved it
  1. Today+0.8%

    Soft CPI; rate-cut odds rose, breadth improved.

  2. Wed−0.5%

    Pre-CPI de-risking; nobody wanted to be long into it.

  3. 3 wks ago+1.6%

    Blowout jobs report read as ‘soft landing’.

Is this move normal?

A +0.8% day is a solid-green day.

The S&P's typical day is inside ±0.7%; 0.8% is a real move for the broad US market.

↺ The memory — when this happens

When US inflation surprises lower, what actually happens?

Across the soft-CPI surprises since 2023, the S&P rose the same session about 7 times in 10, the 10-year yield fell almost every time, and the dollar weakened. The reaction is real — and it's usually spent within a day or two as the cut-odds reprice.
