TraderBite Feb 27 # 2748 | THE PPI PIVOT & WEEKEND RISK: Trading Sticky Wholesale Inflation

The final trading session of February is proving to be a high-stakes environment for intraday participants. We are moving into the open following a hot 0.5% PPI print (Headline MoM), which exceeded the 0.3% consensus and reinforced the "sticky inflation" narrative. This data, combined with a persistent "AI hangover" following recent research into potential deflationary impacts of the tech boom, has kept a lid on equity futures as we test key structural balance zones. While indices struggle, a significant "Weekend Risk" premium is being priced into energy as military tensions and the conclusion of technical nuclear talks in Oman next week keep the supply side on edge. Key Factors Impacting Today's Session: Wholesale Inflation Heat: The 8:30 AM ET PPI reading of 0.5% has pushed Treasury yields higher, creating a persistent headwind for the Nasdaq ($NQ_F) and high-beta software names. The "AI Doom" Narrative: We analyze the technical fallout from the latest research spooks hitting the tape, which triggered a 5.5% drop in Nvidia and is weighing on the S&P 500 ($ES_F) as it tests the 6,870 support. Crude Oil ($CL_F) Rally: Prices are up over 2% ($66.55) as the market gauges the "deadline" for US-Iran talks and the possibility of renewed naval escalations in the Arabian Sea. Gold ($GC_F) Seventh Monthly Gain: Despite the dollar's strength, gold remains steady near $5,200 as institutional demand for "safety" remains the dominant theme for February. Chicago PMI (9:45 AM ET): The next major catalyst. A retreat from the expected 52.2 could provide a "bad news is good news" relief rally if it signals a cooling in manufacturing costs.
