CPI could be the Fed’s next big decision trigger.August NFP came in strong at 162K jobs, while unemployment held at 4.1%. Now all eyes are on CPI.

A hotter-than-expected print could keep the Fed hawkish, pushing yields and the dollar higher while pressuring stocks.

But if inflation cools, rate-hike expectations could fade and risk assets may catch a bid.

I’m watching core CPI most closely.

🟢 Soft CPI → Fed pressure eases → bullish for risk assets
🔴 Hot CPI → hawkish Fed → USD/yields rise → stocks pressured

Gold could be especially interesting if CPI surprises.
