Inflation is as fierce as a tiger, and data determines the outcome! Tonight's CPI data is about to ignite the market, and the expectation of 2.7% is like a 'high-voltage line' hanging over the Federal Reserve!
At 8:30 PM tonight, the U.S. will announce the June inflation data (CPI), with the market predicting the annual rate will rise to 2.7% (up from 2.4% in May), and core inflation may spike to 3%. In simple terms, prices are rising again, moving further away from the Federal Reserve's 2% target. Right now, the entire market is focused on two things: first, whether the tariffs imposed during the Trump administration will make imported goods more expensive, and second, whether oil prices and service prices (like medical care and haircuts) will add fuel to the fire.
[Brother Lei's View]: If this data exceeds expectations, the market will absolutely explode! Last month, on the day the CPI was released, gold instantly plummeted by $20, and Bitcoin followed the market with a flash crash of 5%. Currently, the futures market is betting on a 70% probability of a rate cut in September, but if tonight's data exceeds 2.8%, this number could be halved directly.
