#CPIWatch
🚨Will the CPI trigger a rate hike? 👀
With the Nonfarm Payrolls coming in stronger than expected and the CPI data just around the corner, the big question is: will the Fed decide to raise its rates again, or finally take a pause?
Solid employment figures generally give the Fed more room to stay firm against inflation. If the CPI comes out as “hot” as well, I think there’s a real chance we’ll see another rate hike. That would likely put pressure on risky assets in the short term.
From the market perspective, I’m slightly leaning toward the bearish scenario for now. Higher rates mean less liquidity, and that typically hits stocks and crypto first. But if the CPI turns out cooler than expected, we could see a relief rebound and quickly shift back to a more bullish sentiment.
For now, I’m keeping some gold and staying cautious on tech stocks.
