MID-WEEK RISK CHECK · Wed 11 June 2025
Macro snapshot
Headline CPI (May): +0.1% m/m (2.9% y/y) — softer than the 3.1% consensus. Core CPI +0.2% m/m.
DXY: 98.876
10-yr yield: 4.438% (pull-back on the cooler inflation print).
Inflation relief is nudging futures higher and adding tail-wind to the rotation into networking, power-management, and cyber-security stocks. Crypto majors are flat; AI-compute and liquid-staking tokens remain the on-chain focus.
Risk Gauge (vs. last Wednesday)
VIX: 16.78 (unchanged since Friday)
DXY: 98.876 (–0.324 vs. 99.202)
US 10-yr: 4.438% (–7 bp vs. 4.508%)
BTC perp funding (Binance): +0.012% (flat)
Cooler CPI, softer dollar, and lower yields improve the backdrop for this week’s pending entries, especially growth-sensitive names like NET and CYBR. All stops and bands in the Position Status remain valid; no trades were triggered or stopped by the morning move.
