Market Volatility: Theme of the Week?

• Equity futures are lower, with heightened volatility expected due to US-Iran talks, inflation data, and potential Supreme Court tariff decisions.
• PCE data is an immediate focus, following mixed CPI and jobs reports that have led to a retreat in the 10-year Treasury yield.
• Metals (gold, silver) are lower, presenting a 'buy the dip' opportunity on a trading basis.
• Crude oil is climbing, but a 'sell the rip' strategy is advised unless there's a significant geopolitical escalation.

Equity futures are lower to start the week, influenced by geopolitical tensions, upcoming inflation data (PCE), and mixed recent economic reports. Scott Bauer suggests a 'buy the dip' strategy for metals and a 'sell the rip' approach for crude oil, highlighting overall market uncertainty.
