August CPI is giving the market something interesting to watch 👀
Headline CPI stayed at 3.4% YoY, coming in right in line with expectations.
But core CPI was hotter than expected, reaching 0.3% MoM compared with 0.2%.
That hotter core reading shows that inflation pressure hasn’t completely disappeared. It could also keep interest-rate expectations in focus and create some volatility across markets.
The dollar is looking strong for now, while $BTC and $XAU could face some short-term pressure if traders start pricing in higher-for-longer rates.
I’m not rushing into any trade yet. I’d rather watch the reaction and see which direction the market chooses.
These macro numbers can move several markets quickly, so I’ll be keeping an eye on crypto, the dollar, and gold.
For now, patience is the move. I’ll be watching the setup on BingX.
