#CPIWatch is a tag used when market participants are monitoring the Consumer Price Index (CPI) release, one of the most important inflation indicators.
Traders, investors, and analysts watch CPI data closely because it heavily influences central bank policy decisions—especially interest rate changes by the U.S. Federal Reserve. A higher-than-expected CPI often signals persistent inflation, which can strengthen the U.S. dollar and pressure risk assets like stocks and crypto. Conversely, a lower CPI can boost market sentiment, as it suggests easing inflation and potentially looser monetary policy ahead.
