'Perfect Time' for Protection, Big Trading Day Ahead

Morning Movers kicks off the day with Scott Bauer (@prospertradingacademy) and his thoughts on markets inching towards all-time highs, the Russell 2000 reconstitution and PCE data. All combined, he thinks it will be a "big trading day" and makes the case that it is a "perfect time" for buying upside VIX calls, with volatility still "too cheap" in his opinion. Scott discusses the ripple effects of U.S. and China confirming details of a trade deal. Later, he doesn't think May PCE data will push the Fed to do anything in July, but he does say if there's an uptick in inflation data it could give Powell and Fed members more pause.
