Green light for risk assets?

The US CPI came in line with expectations while retail sales missed (they are notoriously volatile).

Risk assets like stocks, bitcoin and commodity currencies should be the main beneficiaries in the next few weeks unless we get surprisingly bad jobless claims tomorrow.
