Scott Bauer, CEO of Prosper Trading Academy, sat down with Interactive Brokers for their popular IBKR Podcasts series to give his current read on the market. From a surprisingly calm VIX to the inflation numbers that actually matter, Scott doesn’t hold back.
Here’s what he covered:
- Why the market’s strong quarter doesn’t tell the whole story
- His take on tech’s sharp swings: healthy shakeout or something more concerning?
- The non-farm payroll scenario Scott says would be the real market-mover
- The two inflation components he’s focused on heading into CPI
- Where the VIX has been hiding, and why the calm won’t last
