🚨 U.S. CPI Puts December Fed Rate Hike Back in Focus

The U.S. October CPI report is becoming a key test for the Federal Reserve’s December rate decision. Markets are already pricing a high probability of another hike, while Fed Governor Christopher Waller said he would support a 25-basis-point increase even if October inflation shows some improvement.

📊 Economists expect headline CPI to moderate from September, while core inflation is expected around 0.2% month-over-month. But Waller warned that if core CPI comes in around 0.3% or higher, policymakers may need to consider a larger move.

For crypto, the reaction will likely depend on the gap between the actual CPI number and expectations. A hotter reading could push Treasury yields and rate expectations higher, creating pressure on Bitcoin and other risk assets. A softer number could ease those concerns and improve broader market sentiment.

🔎 Bottom line: Today’s CPI is less about the headline alone and more about what it signals for the Fed’s December decision.
