#CPIWatch — Will CPI Trigger a Fed Rate Hike?
The market is watching CPI closely after a stronger-than-expected Nonfarm Payrolls report. With the U.S. labor market showing resilience and inflation still above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, the pressure on the Fed to keep a hawkish stance is increasing.
My view: I’m leaning bearish for risk assets in the short term if CPI comes in hotter than expected. A stronger CPI reading could increase expectations for a 25-basis-point Fed rate hike, supporting the U.S. dollar and putting pressure on stocks and other risk assets.
However, if CPI comes in cooler—especially core CPI—the market could quickly turn bullish as rate-hike expectations fade.
📊 Key levels to watch: • Hot CPI → Bearish stocks / stronger USD
• Cool CPI → Bullish stocks / weaker USD
• Surprise CPI → Expect higher volatility across markets
I’m watching this event carefully rather than chasing a trade before the data confirms the direction.
What’s your call — BULLISH or BEARISH? 👇
