Cassandra’s curse. Analysts expect CPI and PPI to be hot, and institutions could unload their bags onto retail in the aftermath. It will be a brief but brutal drop that will shake off a lot of weak hands. Here’s what to know:

The most impactful releases this week will be the Producer Price Index (PPI) on Wednesday and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Thursday. Both reports will test whether Trump’s tariffs are pressuring the Fed to cut rates.

Year-over-year CPI is expected at +2.9%, up from +2.7% in July. Core CPI is projected at +3.1%, matching February levels and still well above the Fed’s 2% target. On the wholesale side, PPI is forecast at +3.3% headline and +2.8% core, also trending higher.

According to Dow Jones, economists see 0.3% monthly increases across the board. That would put headline inflation at its highest point since January.

On the surface, a 3-handle on both CPI and PPI should spook markets. Not to mention the recent weak jobs data gives the Fed cover to act on its other mandate: boosting employment. Important to note that rate cuts remain on the table despite inflation because policymakers see more risk in labor market deterioration than in a short-term inflation uptick.

Bond yields pulled back after last week’s JOLTS data showed job openings at 7.18M, the lowest since 2021.

Meanwhile, some other important macro to keep track of:

Gold surged past $3,670/oz, setting new ATHs
Silver slipped below $41/oz
WTI crude hovered above $63/barrel amid talk of new Russian sanctions.

Bottom Line: What CPI and PPI Mean for Bitcoin and Markets

The rising supply of government debt, combined with sticky inflation, has strained bond demand worldwide. As Vanguard’s Roger Hallam noted: “It’s almost a perfect storm of concerns over fiscal policies becoming inflationary, potentially more global issuance, and not enough demand.”

Even if inflation comes in hotter than expected, it may not derail Fed cuts this month. Yet all this negative economic data should be worrisome for the average middle-class American.
