🔥 Will CPI Trigger a Fed Rate Hike?
The latest Nonfarm Payrolls beat expectations, showing that the U.S. labor market is still stronger than many expected. Now CPI is the next big test.
For me, the reaction matters more than the headline number.
📈 HOT CPI: If inflation comes in above expectations, rate-hike expectations could strengthen. That may push yields and the dollar higher, creating pressure on stocks and other risk assets.
📉 COOL CPI: If inflation comes in softer, rate-hike expectations could fade. That could give stocks, gold and crypto some breathing room.
My bias going into CPI? Slightly bearish—but I won't chase the first move. I want to see confirmation from yields and the dollar before taking a trade.
The market can move violently around CPI, so patience matters.
