Will CPI Trigger a Rate Hike?
I’ve been watching this setup closely because something feels a little different this time.
The jobs data came in stronger than expected, and now everyone is waiting for CPI to give the Fed its next excuse or maybe its next reason to stay cautious.
Personally, I’m not convinced the Fed will rush into anything. One strong data point doesn’t change the whole picture, but sticky inflation could definitely make the market nervous again.
What worries me most is the reaction after CPI. We could see stocks get hit, yields jump, and gold swing hard within minutes. And honestly, the first move isn’t always the move I trust.
I’m staying cautious on stocks for now and watching gold closely. I’d rather miss the first candle than chase a move that reverses five minutes later.
That’s just how I’m seeing it.
What are you expecting Fed hike or hold? Bullish or bearish?
