Will Musk vs Trump Shake the Markets?

Get ready for another dramatic week in the markets. The spotlight isn't just on earnings—tensions between Elon Musk and President Trump may create volatility, especially for Musk-linked stocks like Tesla. That could mean opportunities for options traders. 

On the earnings front, only 98 companies report, including Oracle, GameStop, Adobe, and Chewy. 

Economic data will likely steal the show. CPI drops Tuesday (expected steady at 2%), while Wednesday’s PPI could swing from -0.5% to positive territory, suggesting rising producer costs. 

Friday’s University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment is forecast at 52.5—barely optimistic—but the inflation expectations report could move markets. It’s projected to surge to 6.6%, a massive jump from 2.7% last December. 

With unemployment at 4.2% and the next Fed meeting looming on June 18, this week’s inflation data could influence the FOMC’s next move. All told, expect volatility, opportunity, and plenty of headlines—just how traders like it. Buckle up!
