Scott Bauer from Prosper Trading Academy discusses equity market price action as traders position ahead of key CPI and PPI inflation reports. Volatility remains muted across E-mini S&P 500 futures and E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures despite active trading in near-term option strikes. Bauer also highlights rising WTI Crude Oil futures prices driven by Middle East uncertainty, an 11-month high in small business optimism, and tight trading ranges in Bitcoin despite MicroStrategy selling 1,690 coins.
