🚨 US STAGFLATION FEARS ARE BACK
The latest US data just handed the Fed another headache. 📊
🔥 PCE inflation: 3.7% vs 3.6% expected — still well above the Fed’s 2% target
🐌 Q2 GDP growth: 1.5%, down from 2.1% in Q1
🏦 Fed: Caught between fighting inflation and protecting growth
That’s the stagflation nightmare markets hate:
Hot inflation + slowing growth = a very difficult policy path.
If the Fed hikes → growth could weaken further.
If the Fed cuts → inflation could stay stubbornly high.
Markets are already reacting. September rate-hike odds reportedly jumped to around 44% from 36% after the inflation data.
Now the next inflation and growth reports could be major catalysts for stocks, crypto, bonds and the dollar. ⚡️
Stay alert. The Fed’s next move just got a lot more complicated. 👀
