The PPI reading for August, which came in at -0.1%, was indeed a delightful surprise for the US economy. Analysts had anticipated a modest increase of +0.3%, making this a truly positive development, indicating that the tariffs had yet to exert their full influence. On Thursday, all eyes turn to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) release, where the consensus is also for a +0.3% rise in August. With the Federal Reserve poised to consider raising interest rates next week, it is crucial that this figure does not exceed expectations, lest it cause a stir in the markets and, consequently, in the tender heart of Bitcoin. Should the market suffer from a negative inflation report, Bitcoin is likely to feel the pinch as well. Yet, with the prospect of rate cuts on the horizon, this downturn may prove to be but a fleeting moment of distress. 🌸
