🚨 US CPI in 1 hour at 08:30 AM ET

This is the main macro catalyst of the week and it will set the tone for rates, the dollar, and risk assets.

🟡 Expected: 3.1%

🔽 If CPI prints above 3.1%, inflation looks sticky, rate cuts get pushed out, and risk assets may face pressure.

🔼If CPI prints below 3.1%, disinflation gains momentum, cuts get priced in faster, and risk usually reacts positively.

🕯 A print near expectations likely keeps markets in the current range until the next macro trigger.

How will the market react?

Learning how price moves and where opportunities lie is one thing.

Training your mind to stay calm and execute fearlessly in every situation is another entirely.

You need both skills to make it in this business.

Most traders don’t blow accounts from one bad decision.

They blow them trying to emotionally undo a correct loss.

The loss was part of the plan.

The spiral was not.

A gem of a video from Warren Buffet:

The most important thing in hitting is waiting for the right pitch... In investing, there's no called strikes. I only get a strike called if I swing at a pitch and miss. So I can wait there and look at thousands of companies day after day, and only when I see something I understand and when I like the price at which it's selling, then if I swing, if I hit it fine, if I miss, it's a strike. But it's an enormously advantageous game.

This is why doing nothing is often the hardest trade.

Most of your day is resisting urges to do dumb shit.

The rest is accepting you're going to fail sometimes anyway.

Losses happen.

Mistakes happen.

You're not a robot.

Just keep choosing logic over emotion at every decision point.

Do that and you win.

One thing that helps massively with avoiding overtrading is starting each day expecting to take no trades at all.

That mindset keeps the focus on waiting for your model instead of looking for action.

When you expect to find a trade, you always will.

The subconscious fills the gap and pushes you into setups you were never meant to take.

🥇 Gold hits a new record as BRICS keep accumulating

Gold has broken above $4,400 per ounce, setting a fresh all-time high after a year-long rally.

Rate-cut expectations in the US and rising geopolitical tension matter, but the dominant force behind the move is sustained, price-insensitive buying by BRICS central banks.

What’s really happening 👇

🟡 BRICS and aligned countries are responsible for over 50% of global central-bank gold buying in recent years

🟡 Russia, China, and India together hold more than 5,500 tonnes of gold

🟡 The bloc also controls roughly half of global gold production, led by China and Russia

🟡 Accumulation is driven by diversification away from US Treasuries and sanctions risk

🟡 BRICS are pairing gold buying with new settlement tools and plans for independent pricing infrastructure

Gold is no longer just a hedge. It is becoming a core reserve asset in a gradually shifting, less dollar-centric financial system.
