🧨 US CPI Data Drops Today – Expect Wild Moves During NY Session! 📉📈
The markets are holding their breath…
May CPI (Inflation) report is set to release today at 8:30 AM ET — and it's a BIG deal.
Here’s what you need to know before volatility explodes 👇
📊 The Forecast
🔹 Headline CPI YoY: ~2.5%
🔹 Core CPI (ex food/energy): ~2.9%
🔹 Monthly increase: ~0.2% – 0.3%
Even a small deviation from this could shake markets HARD 💥
🔥 Why It Matters
🧠 Core CPI is creeping up again, partly due to tariffs and sticky service prices.
💣 If inflation stays hot, the Fed could delay interest rate cuts ⏳
🚀 If inflation cools down? Markets could fly on renewed rate-cut optimism
⚠️ What To Expect During the New York Session
