CPI runs hot— is the Fed hinting at another rate hike?
Early-week headlines gave crypto traders quite a scare: Core CPI for September came in hotter than expected, and the crypto market reacted immediately, with Bitcoin dropping below $82,000.
This has reignited concerns that the Fed may consider raising interest rates in October. I know how this feels—whenever news about inflation and interest rates comes out, market sentiment gets tense. If rates rise, money will flow out of riskier assets like crypto; that’s just how things generally work. Everyone is holding their breath to see what decision the Fed will make and whether monetary policy will continue to tighten.
This is just my personal take, not investment advice. What do you think about the situation? What will the Fed do next?
