🔥 #CPIWatch | Will the upcoming CPI change the direction of gold?
The market is now facing an important test. After the Non-Farm Payrolls data came in stronger than expected, the key question became: will the upcoming CPI data push the Federal Reserve to keep rates high, or will a slowdown in inflation give it more room to ease monetary policy?
For me, the number alone isn’t enough; what matters is the surprise versus market expectations.
📈 If CPI comes in higher than expected, the odds of rates staying high may increase—this could weigh on gold and strengthen the dollar. In that case, I’ll be more cautious about entering gold buy trades.
📉 But if CPI comes in lower than expected, rate-cut expectations may rise—this could support gold and give buyers a better chance to take control of the move.
Right now, I’m leaning toward waiting for the data rather than chasing the price before the news. For me, the best trade is the one that comes after the market’s direction is confirmed, not just based on anticipation.
🎯 Watch CPI, dollar movement, and bond yields… then let the price confirm the trend.
