🇺🇸 CPI WATCH: WILL THE FED HIKE OR HOLD?
The market is now focused on U.S. inflation. With Nonfarm Payrolls beating expectations and CPI becoming the next major macro catalyst, the Fed faces an important decision.
A hotter-than-expected CPI could strengthen the case for keeping monetary policy restrictive for longer. Rising inflation would likely push Treasury yields and the dollar higher, creating pressure on risk assets such as stocks and crypto. In that scenario, I would take a more bearish short-term view.
On the other hand, if CPI comes in softer than expected, markets could start pricing in a more dovish Fed. Lower inflation would reduce pressure on interest rates and could support stocks, gold and crypto.
Personally, I’m staying cautious before the CPI data. I prefer to wait for the actual numbers rather than trade purely on expectations.
📊 My bias: Neutral → Bearish if CPI comes in hot; Bullish if inflation cools significantly.
What’s your call?
🔥 Fed Hike or Hold? Bullish or Bearish?
