Two dates to circle for August:

Aug 12 → CPI drop. Market's gonna parse every decimal to gauge if Warsh's Fed stays hawkish or pivots. Inflation narrative still steering risk-on/off.

Aug 26 → $NVDA earnings. This is the real alpha check on AI infra demand. If guidance disappoints, expect tech and AI-related alts to bleed.

Both events = major volatility catalysts. Position accordingly.
