🚨 THE FED JUST GOT A BIGGER INFLATION WARNING. 50 BPS IS NOW ON THE TABLE.
One Fed official just made December a lot more interesting. 👀
🇺🇸 Christopher Waller, a Federal Reserve Governor, says he would support:
📌 25 bps hike in December — even if inflation cools.
⚠️ 50 bps hike considered — if core inflation stays at 0.3% or higher.
And here's the catch…
📊 October US CPI:
Headline CPI: +0.4% MoM vs 0.3% expected.
Core CPI: +0.3% MoM vs 0.2% expected.
That's a hotter-than-expected inflation reading.
Waller believes failing to deliver expected rate increases could damage the Fed's inflation-fighting credibility.
MARKETLENS VIEW: HAWKISH — RISK-OFF PRESSURE.
If markets start pricing in a more aggressive Fed:
📈 USD and Treasury yields could face upward pressure.
📉 Gold could face pressure.
⚠️ BTC and ETH could remain vulnerable to tighter liquidity expectations.
But remember: Waller's comments represent his own policy view — not a final FOMC decision. The December 8–9 meeting will decide the actual policy path.
TRADERS, ONE QUESTION:
If the Fed delivers a 50 bps hike in December, which market do you think takes the biggest hit — Gold, Bitcoin, or US stocks?
