[+7] u/skyshadex: Long vol. Geopolitically, nothing has materially changed, oil ticking back up. Jobs and gdp are turning over. If CPI manages to surprise, I'll be amazed, but weirder things have happened this week. Plus we're going into the weekend where anything can happen before a Monday morning tweet manages to reset the clock.
Geopolitical tensions persist, oil is rising, and key economic data (Jobs, GDP) is showing signs of turning. This creates a fragile environment where a CPI surprise could trigger significant market moves, compounded by weekend event risk. Buying volatility is a hedge against near-term unforeseen shocks from data or news. CPI may not surprise, or markets could remain complacent, leading to volatility decay.
