đŸ”„ CPI is coming — but will the Fed really hike?

The latest Nonfarm Payrolls beat expectations, putting fresh focus on inflation and the Fed’s next move. With CPI around the corner, this could become a major catalyst for stocks, gold, and overall market sentiment.

My current view? I lean toward HOLD, unless CPI comes in significantly hotter than expected. One strong jobs report alone may not be enough to justify a rate hike if inflation continues to cool.

📈 Hot CPI: More hawkish Fed expectations → possible pressure on stocks and increased volatility.

📉 Soft CPI: A more patient Fed → potentially supportive for stocks and risk assets.

I’m watching gold and stocks closely and won’t chase the first reaction. I’ll share my trade view using the trade sharing widget.

Bullish or bearish after CPI? Hike or hold? What’s your trade?
