Yo Pit Crazies,
At the end of the day, it’s all about growth — and Oracle Corp (Ticker: ORCL) just delivered in a big way. The company unveiled a massive multi-year sales pipeline, something we haven’t seen from a stock in quite some time. With AI still driving equity markets and Wall Street hungry for a strong narrative, ORCL is hitting the right notes.
It’s hard to believe ORCL jumped from $120 in April to $330 today — but that’s the market for you: always capable of surprise.

Another unexpected twist: foreign companies are shouldering most of the tariff costs. Meanwhile, cooler-than-expected PPI numbers give the White House a reason to celebrate — and all but lock in what looks like a 100% chance of a rate cut.
The big question is, will the rally keep going?
The CPI number is also likely to come in on the lighter side
There was even a slight month-over-month decline in PPI, signaling early signs of easing inflation. While overall inflation remains elevated, it’s slowly inching closer to the Fed’s 2% target. That said, much of the recent rally in stocks seems to have already priced in a rate cut, which may explain why markets struggled to hold gains on Wednesday. The VIX bounced back after an early dip, showing traders are still looking for the full picture — not just the warm-up act.
That suggests most of the rally may already be priced in — and it’ll take fresh catalysts to push stocks higher from here. A soft CPI tomorrow could give the market a lift, so stay tuned. For confirmation, I’m watching for new lows in the VIX.
You can trade that setup here.
To Your Trading Success,
