After a softer CPI reaction, the next U.S. data points matter because they test whether the futures rally has support from demand, margins and Fed expectations.

With CPI, Fed testimony and bank earnings landing together, short-end Treasury yields are a useful stress gauge for equity-index and commodity futures traders.

Gold’s drop below $4,000 and renewed Fed-hike discussion put CPI week, dollar strength and 24/7 futures access back on the trader checklist.
