PPI is expected to be 0.4%, versus 0.0% previously. This jump isn’t small.
$XAU ’s logic right now is a bit twisted. When inflation data moves higher, it’s theoretically bearish for gold because rate-cut expectations get pushed back. But from another angle, inflation re-accelerating is itself a reason to hold gold. So when this kind of data comes out, $XAU often gets sold off first and then pulled back—both sides want a piece of the action.
$BTC is simpler and more straightforward: it’s basically a high-beta risk asset. If 0.4% really materializes, in the short term it will most likely shake along with U.S. stocks. The previous figure was 0.0%, meaning last month was already quite cold. This time, as long as it doesn’t exceed 0.5%, the market should digest it in a couple of days and move on.
The real direction call: the data itself won’t change the trend—it only creates volatility. For $XAU , I lean toward a choppy but stronger bias; for $BTC , it faces near-term pressure, but as long as key support isn’t broken, pullbacks are an opportunity to get in.
Don’t be fooled by a single candlestick… the kind of market that data creates is most adept at sweeping both ends.
