0.2% — the only number that matters on Wednesday (CPI, 8:30 ET / 19:30 WIB).

Headline CPI will scream 3.7% y/y (up from 3.4%). Ignore it.

That whole jump is energy. August's oil surge bleeding into the print. The Fed does not trade gasoline.

The number that moves the Fed: core CPI, month-on-month.

Consensus 0.2% (down from 0.3% in August). Core y/y steady ~2.5%.

Last month's lesson: August printed 0.3% vs 0.2% expected. One tenth. September hike odds jumped 60% to 85% on CME FedWatch. That's how thin the margin is.

The cheat sheet:

0.2% or below → disinflation confirmed → October hike odds (~19%) stay dead, December pricing (~69%) starts slipping

0.3% or above → services still sticky → October 28 FOMC hike probably back on the table

$BTC just reclaimed 84K ahead of the print. A soft core probably means the tape was right. A hot core means the 80K magnet comes back.

0,2% — satu-satunya angka yang penting hari Rabu (CPI, 19:30 WIB).

CPI headline bakal teriak 3,7% y/y (naik dari 3,4%). Abaikan.

Lonjakannya hampir murni energi. Sisa lonjakan minyak Agustus masuk ke data. The Fed nggak trading bensin.

Angka yang nggerakin The Fed: CPI inti, month-on-month.

Konsensus 0,2% (turun dari 0,3% di Agustus). Inti y/y stabil ~2,5%.

Pelajaran bulan lalu: Agustus keluar 0,3% vs ekspektasi 0,2%. Beda sepersepuluh. Peluang hike September melonjak 60% ke 85% (CME FedWatch). Segitu tipis marginnya.

Cara bacanya:

0,2% atau di bawah → disinflasi terkonfirmasi → peluang hike Oktober (~19%) tetap mati, harga Desember (~69%) mulai turun

0,3% atau di atas → inflasi jasa masih sticky → hike FOMC 28 Oktober kemungkinan balik ke meja

Bitcoin baru aja reclaim 84K sebelum data rilis. Core yang soft kemungkinan berarti tape bener. Core panas berarti magnet 80K balik lagi.
