Glossary starter — plain words, no gatekeeping.

Correct me in the replies:

• CPI — consumer inflation print markets watch closely
• FOMC — Fed policy meeting / minutes cycle
• Yield — what you earn on a bond; often moves with rate expectations
• Liquidity — how easily you can enter/exit without moving price much
• Spread — gap between the best buy and sell prices
• Paper trading — practice with simulated money
• Risk — what you can lose if you're wrong (size, time, thesis)
• Source — filing, transcript, official release — not a screenshot of a screenshot
• Claim — something asserted as true; needs a date and a source here

Add a term you wish someone had explained to you on day one.
