How Yesterday's CPI will Impact Stocks and the Fed

Long
FX:SPX500   S&P 500 Index
Stocks got a pump from CPI data yesterday. The figure came in at 8.5%, one of the highest in history, however the estimate was 8.7%, so it technically fell short of expectations, even though this figure is still well higher than normal. After this reading, the implied probability of a Fed hike of 75bps fell 30%, which gave the markets a green light to rally. Stocks broke above highs at 4188, and are holding in the 4200's, currently testing our level at 4228. The Kovach OBV has leveled off but is still strong. If we retrace, we should have support at our former high of 4188, but if we retrace the range, then 4122 will provide further support. If the rally can continue, then 4172 is the next target.
