🚨 JUST IN: U.S. November PPI Comes in Hot 🇺🇸
U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) for November rises to 3%, above market expectations.
Inflation pressure at the producer level is not cooling — it’s pushing back.
🧠 Why this matters (don’t blink):
Higher PPI = upstream inflation risk
Reduces the Fed’s urgency to cut rates
Reinforces the “higher for longer” narrative
Short-term risk-off pressure for stocks & crypto
The market hates uncertainty, but it really hates sticky inflation.
Any hope for fast easing just took another hit.
Volatility isn’t coming — it’s already loading.
