Hey friend,

We got the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge this morning – the PCE Index.

The overall PCE Index was an annual 2.3% – in line with expectations…

While the Core PCE Index (excluding food and energy) was at 2.7% – slightly ahead of expectations.

The consumer sentiment index however, continued to improve on lower expectations of inflation.

Note: All indexes closed higher yesterday and opened higher this morning as well, while moving higher through the day. The long-term direction for the Russell 2000 flipped back upward.

Hindsight makes everything look easy. 

Looking back, it all seems clear…

As Head Trader Ross Givens pointed out almost daily…

There was strong price action, healthy setups, a market grinding higher. 

But when you’re in it, it never feels that simple. 

There’s noise, doubt, second-guessing. 

What’s clear in hindsight is rarely obvious in real time.

That’s why trading in real time takes more than analysis…

It takes trust in the process and in those who’ve seen it before.

The strength that previously looked uncertain now looks obvious.

Those who stayed focused – who listened – didn’t need hindsight.

They were already aligned.

Keep listening to experience. And enjoy your weekend.
