CPI is coming, and honestly, this is where things could get interesting.
NFP numbers came in stronger than expected, so now everyone’s attention is shifting toward inflation. The big question for me is simple: Will CPI give the Fed another reason to stay hawkish, or will cooler inflation take some pressure off?
If CPI comes in hotter than expected, I wouldn’t be surprised to see markets turn nervous. Higher inflation could keep rate-hike fears alive, which usually isn’t great for risk assets.
But if inflation cools down, sentiment could change pretty quickly. A softer CPI could strengthen hopes for a Fed hold or even future cuts, giving stocks, gold and crypto some room to breathe.
Personally, I’m cautiously bullish if CPI comes in soft, but I’m not ignoring the downside risk. This is one of those events where a single number can move the whole market.
Let’s see what CPI brings.
