💫 Will CPI Trigger Rate Hike? 👀

Nonfarm payrolls just smashed forecasts +162K vs. the +55K expected and now CPI lands today, just days before the Fed's September 15–16 meeting.

Hike or hold?

July CPI sat at 3.4% YoY, still hot. Pair that with a strong jobs beat, and the hawks have a real case.

But if today's print cools off, the Fed likely holds and lets the data keep talking.

Strong labor market + sticky inflation = a live debate heading into next week's decision.

Where do you stand — bullish or bearish?
