🔹 CPI is expected to remain at 2.9%, the same as the previous month. If the actual figure matches this forecast, markets may see minimal volatility unless traders interpret the stability as a sign of Federal Reserve policy direction.
Potential Market Reactions
- Higher-than-expected CPI (>2.9%) → Bullish for USD, bearish for BTC (higher inflation could lead to tighter Fed policy).
- Lower-than-expected CPI (<2.9%) → Bearish for USD, bullish for BTC (weaker inflation reduces the urgency for rate hikes).
What’s Next?
With inflation expectations holding steady, market participants will closely watch how the Federal Reserve reacts in its next meeting. A surprise deviation from expectations could trigger sharp movements in forex, stocks, and crypto markets.
