The Consumer Price Indexes or CPI numbers come out Friday, explains Karen Finerman, and if those numbers are hot the market could sell-off. Be prepared.
The market is expecting a huge number, adds Guy Adami. If it turns out to be benign it’s possible we could see an explosive move higher in the stock market simply because inflation fears are so prevalent. My bias is on the long side, he says.
Joe Terranova agrees.
If you want to play inflation I recommend iShares Lehman TIPS Bond , Finerman adds.
