Double news days: how do you handle two big releases in one day?
CPI and a central bank on the same day, or payrolls and PMI back to back — stacked events interact, and the second release often unwinds the first's move. Trading both is a different game from trading one.
What's your plan?
- how you sequence the day around the releases
- whether you trade the first, the second or neither
- the double-event day that humbled you
The calendar shows the stack; the CPI guide explains the flagship release.
