Today's Markets: Calm Before the Storm?

The markets edged lower today — but don't let the quiet fool you.

This week could be one of the most explosive we've seen in months:

180 S&P 500 companies report earnings (Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon)
GDP and PCE inflation reports drop Wednesday
April jobs report hits Friday
Tariff battles continue to cloud the economic outlook
Oil prices tumble, gold rebounds, and shipping activity plummets at the Port of LA

All while the threat of 145% tariffs looms over US companies.

Volatility is rising. Predictability is falling.

But here's the good news:

When you use a weekly income strategy like selling cash-secured puts or trading controlled debit spreads, you don't have to guess.

You don't have to predict what Trump will tweet, or what the Fed will say, or what China's next move will be.

You simply follow the plan:

✅ Risk small

✅ Collect consistent premiums

✅ Stack weekly income
✅ Protect capital in uncertain conditions

This is exactly why we stay disciplined — especially when the headlines get loud.

One high-probability trade at a time. One paycheck at a time.
