The SPX +58.61, 5,554, opened slightly higher, pulled back 89 points in the first hour and 20 minutes, a two standard deviation move, before selling exhausted and buyers took control sending the SPX up +147 points, a move above the high of the low day.

The SPX since Monday has regained 100% of Friday’s selloff and an additional 50 points above Thursday’s close.

Today’s CPI report: M/M 0.2% vs 0.2% consensus, Y/Y 2.5% vs 2.6% consensus.
Core CPI was M/M 0.3% vs 0.2% consensus, Y/Y 3.2% vs 3.2% consensus.  Two inline readings, one beat and one miss.  











Reports indicate that some traders were hoping for 50 bps cut by the FOMC next week, even though recent CME Fed Watch tool readings indicate that was less probable.  Today’s CME Fed Watch tool probability fell from 35% Tuesday to 15% today.
