đš $BTC INFLATION SPIKE: U.S. PPI JUST BLEW PAST EXPECTATIONS đđ„
Another macro shock just dropped â and itâs not bullish for rate-cut dreams.
U.S. December PPI surged to 3.0%, beating the 2.7% forecast, signaling that inflation pressures are heating up again at the producer level.
đĄ Why this matters:
PPI often leads CPI â rising costs for producers today usually mean higher prices for consumers tomorrow. Translation? Core inflation isnât cooling âïžâŠ itâs warming back up đ„
đ Market Impact:
For already-nervous markets, this complicates everything:
âą đŠ Sticky inflation weakens the case for aggressive rate cuts
âą đŻ Puts pressure on the Fedâs credibility
âą âïž Policy uncertainty grows as criticism of Jerome Powell intensifies,
âą đ§ Liquidity expectations take a hit
âą đ Risk assets face a rougher road ahead
đ Bottom Line:
The âinflation is solvedâ narrative just took a direct hit đ„
Rates, liquidity, and crypto markets may now stay under pressure longer than expected.
đ€ Big Question:
Does the Fed stay patient đ§ â or does this force a policy rethink sooner than markets expect? âłđ„
