🚹US Inflation Shock: Core CPI Beats Expectations!

US inflation came in hotter than expected:

Core CPI m/m: 0.3% vs 0.2% forecast

Core CPI y/y: 2.6% vs 2.5% forecast

CPI m/m: 0.6% vs 0.6% forecast

CPI y/y: 3.7% vs 3.6% forecast

Both Core CPI readings exceeded expectations, while annual headline inflation accelerated from 3.4% to 3.7%.

Persistent inflation, partly fueled by elevated energy prices and Middle East tensions, could strengthen expectations of further Fed tightening.

Initial fundamental bias:

âŹ†ïžDXY: Bullish

âŹ‡ïžGold: Bearish

âŹ‡ïž$BTC : Bearish

However, volatility may remain elevated, and the initial market reaction could reverse as traders reassess Treasury yields and Fed expectations.
