We just closed a weird week of split-personality markets and data. Now we're staring down a monster calendar: US inflation prints, a flood of global data drops, and the IMF-World Bank circus rolling into town.
These weeks tend to shake out the tourists. Pay attention to what actually moves vs what was supposed to move. The gap between narrative and reality is where the lessons live.
Inflation data especially — don't just read the headline. Look at the components. Look at what's sticky vs what's noise. And remember: one data point doesn't make a trend, but it can definitely break a trade.
