💡 Context and outlook

• The 2.7% year-on-year increase represents the highest level since February.

• Tariffs on imported products are beginning to be reflected in the prices of goods such as appliances, clothing, and toys.

• The combination of persistent inflation with signs of tariff impact suggests that the Federal Reserve may delay rate cuts, maintaining restrictive monetary policy in the short term.

⸻

🧭 What does this imply for traders?

• Moderate accelerating inflation, but still above the target (2%), pressures the possibility of rate cuts this year.

• In this scenario, interest-sensitive asset classes (such as bonds, real estate, and growth) could see volatility.

• For a professional trader, this means focusing on sectors benefiting from high rates (financials, commodities) and protecting positions in interest-sensitive assets.#BTCWhaleTracker #USCryptoWeek #CPIWatch
