With anticipation in the financial markets for upcoming Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, traders are asking: Will the Federal Reserve raise interest rates or keep them unchanged?
Looking at the latest Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) figures, which came in stronger than expected, we can see they reflect the strength and resilience of the U.S. labor market. This strength gives the Federal Reserve more room to maneuver, but at the same time it increases inflationary pressures. If the CPI numbers also come in high, it may push the Fed to seriously consider an additional rate hike to rein in inflation, or to keep rates elevated for longer.
From my analytical perspective, I’m bearish in the short term. I’m monitoring the markets closely and prefer to stay neutral and watch how gold performs without rushing to enter a trade before the official data is released.
What are your expectations for the upcoming CPI data? And do you think the Federal Reserve will hike or hold steady?
