U.S. September CPI blew past expectations again! Crude oil and U.S. Treasuries are going head-to-head—so where should we put our money?
CPI came in hotter than expected again, up 3.7% year over year! Energy prices jumped 5.2% in a single month, with gasoline accounting for more than half of the increase…
In other words, the “monster” of inflation hasn’t been tamed. With the fighting in the Middle East giving it a boost, it’s roaring back to life 😂
First, U.S. Treasuries—this is the real main event!
According to the usual script, a hot CPI report should lead to Treasury sell-offs and soaring yields, right? But BlackRock made a major move this week: it ended its six-year underweight position in Treasuries and switched to overweighting short-term bonds.
The reason? Yields are already at a 24-year high. A 10-year yield of 5.25% is pretty sweet just for the interest income. Citi got dragged into the mess and was forced to change its tune 😂—from “no more rate hikes this year” to “we’ll need another one in December”~
What about crude oil? The logic is even simpler: geopolitics is the biggest call option~
Gasoline is up 9.1%, and diesel is even worse, up 67.7% so far this year. The Strait of Hormuz is blocked, choking off global oil and gas shipments. As long as the Middle East remains unsettled, oil prices won’t come down. But on the other hand, high interest rates will weigh on demand, so don’t count on prices doubling again~
And what about the crypto market—the thing we care about most?
CZ once said something very true: “AI is great, but it can’t protect you from inflation. But $BTC can.”
In other words, AI companies can issue more shares and raise funds to expand, diluting your stake. But Bitcoin has a fixed supply of just 21 million coins. Fiat currencies keep getting printed, but your share of Bitcoin won’t be diluted. The uglier the inflation data gets, the stronger the scarcity narrative becomes~
Personally, I think the worst news for Treasuries is already mostly priced in. High inflation and rising expectations of rate hikes—most of the bad news is already out there.
But smart money is buying the dip in Treasuries, geopolitics is supporting crude oil, and every inflation blowout is giving $BTC free “advertising.”
Big bro Changpeng Zhao is right: AI can’t solve inflation, but the answer has been written into Bitcoin’s code all along~
