With Nonfarm Payrolls coming in stronger than expected and CPI data just around the corner, the big question is: will the Fed decide to hike rates again or finally hit pause?
Strong jobs data usually gives the Fed more room to stay aggressive on inflation. If CPI also prints hot, I think there's a real chance we see another rate hike. That would likely put pressure on risk assets in the short term.
From a market view, I’m leaning slightly bearish for now. Higher rates mean less liquidity, and that usually hurts stocks and crypto first. But if CPI comes in cooler than expected, we could get a relief rally and flip back to bullish sentiment fast.
For now I’m holding some gold and staying cautious on tech stocks.

🍎 Gurman just dropped Apple's full iPhone roadmap through 2028 👀
Mark Gurman at Bloomberg published the whole picture today — what's coming next week and what Apple is building all the way through 2028.
September 9th: iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max with the A20 Pro chip and mechanical aperture camera, plus a foldable iPhone Ultra at over $2,000 — roughly passport-sized when folded.
2027 brings a Pro redesign Gurman calls "the biggest overhaul since the iPhone X," curved glass on every edge. Then a second foldable. 2028 gets a third, with larger displays inside and out.
More than ten models in the pipeline, and this is just what's confirmed so far.

🚨 The Liquid Network "white hat" hackers returned 3,400 BTC of 4,000 BTC after communicating on-chain with Blockstream, seemingly keeping 598.5 BTC for themselves, per Galaxy Research's Alex Thorn. 👀
An early Bitcoin miner from the Satoshi era woke up after 16.5 years and moved 600 BTC, worth around $48M, to new addresses. The coins were mined in March 2010, when Bitcoin had almost no market price and Satoshi Nakamoto was still actively mining BTC.
