🚨ALERT: U.S. CPI drops SOON. After a week of surging yields and rising oil, markets face a critical inflation test. After surging bond yields and rising oil prices, CPI could reinforce Fed hike bets or give markets some relief. The CORE monthly reading to watch: • Above 0.25%: Hot • 0.20%–0.25%: In line • Below 0.20%: Cool A HOT print would suggest inflation pressure is proving harder to shake, potentially pushing yields higher and adding pressure on stocks and crypto. A COOL print could ease hike bets and support a relief RALLY. But an in-line number may offer little comfort while oil keeps rising. Markets also need confidence that the next inflation wave is not already building. Economists largely expect a HOLD. Traders are leaning toward a HIKE.(Coin Bureau)
