The "last mile" challenge of inflation reappears, will central banks in Europe and the United States only slowly reduce interest rates in 2025?
The USA PCE price index has rebounded year-on-year for two consecutive months, and the United Kingdom CPI inflation has also jumped from 1.7% in September to 2.6%, exceeding the target level of 2%. Currently, traders expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates once next year, with a 50% probability of a second rate cut, whereas a month ago, expectations were for two rate cuts; it is anticipated that the Bank of England will cut rates twice next year, a decrease from the four rate cuts expected in October.

razo2 : I think better keep eyes on data. Friday MM will not want to pay out the bulls.
SpyderCall OP razo2 : Of course those tricky MMs don't want to pay anybody. Especially on mid month expirations. Usually there is a little volatility around those expiration dates.
It is possible we might see a bit more volatility today, Wednesday, or Friday. Wednesday is the official monthly expiration but sometimes the rollover can happen before or after, like on a Friday.
But it is a possibility that investors might have already rotated their contracts. After a crazy rally like we have seen, it makes me think a lot of capital has already moved around. So then the volatility might be just like any normal day.
