How did markets respond to a hotter-than-expected CPI print? As predicted, markets did open sharply lower...but, buyers immediately stepped into the markets, pushing prices higher and closing above the 20- and 50-DMA. Markets did not, however, break out of an ever-compressing price range. As investors began to digest the CPI components, it became clear things weren't as bad as first thought. So the consolidation range continues to hold as markets remain in a 'wait-and-see' mode. Trump's reciprocal tariffs are also ramping up the risk for a global tit for tat. Raising prices of goods companies buy may not be able to be passed along to consumers, affecting bottom line results.   Hosted by RIA Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO  Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch the video version of this podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afaw7jcibbc&list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&index=1 ------- Get more info & commentary:  https://realinvestmentadvice.com/insights/real-investment-daily/ ------- REGISTER FOR OUR NEXT CANDID COFFEE (3/29/25) HERE: https://streamyard.com/watch/Gy68mipYram2 ------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #TrumpeTariffs #ReciprocalTariffs #CPI #Inflation #FederalReserve #MarketRally #PortfolioRisk #MarketExhaustion #MarketSellOff #LowerTrendline #MarketConsolidation #EconomicWeakness #StockBuyBacks #MarketVolatility #PortfolioRisk #20DMA #50DMA #100DMA  #MarketCorrection #MoneyFlows #OverBoughtMarket  #MarketSupport #InvestingTrends #InvestmentStrategies #InvestingAdvice #Money #Investing
