CPI rises more than expected, rewriting the rate-cut narrative.
U.S. CPI rose 3.7% year over year in September, up from 3.4% the previous month. Core CPI was 2.6% year over year, showing that inflationary pressures have yet to ease. Gasoline prices climbed 9.1% in a single month, becoming a major driver of this uptick in inflation.
What does this mean for the crypto market?
Rising inflation could delay rate cuts and even prompt markets to reassess the risk of rate hikes. Near-term liquidity expectations are under pressure, so caution is still warranted with ETH and other risk assets.
But real opportunities are often hidden in the gap between expectations and reality. Next, watch Treasury yields, the U.S. dollar, and whether the market can absorb this negative news.
A bull market can't rely on the rate-cut narrative alone; it also needs liquidity to genuinely improve.
