September PPI Shock: 6.3% YoY - The Production Side Inflation is Back, and The Fed Game Has Changed.
The data is out. The US September Producer Price Index, released on October 15th at 8:30 AM ET, was not just a beat, it was a terrifying upside surprise that has completely rewritten the rate path.
If you were expecting a cool-down, you were wrong. Here is the academic breakdown of what really happened.
1. The Numbers: Expectations vs. Reality - A Massive Overshoot
The consensus was clear before the release: Headline PPI to rise 0.5% - 0.6% MoM, and 5.3% YoY. Core PPI to rise 0.3% MoM.
The real

My stop-loss was hit on 20% of my position this morning.
I lost 100U. What a shame—I closed at the high.
Although I lost, I have to stick to my discipline. No one can predict the market; I’ll try to make it back today.

$ICNT Up 26% in 24 hours, but the real signal isn't in the candlestick chart—it's in last night's Fed minutes.
The minutes were hawkish, and the dot plot showed expected rate cuts this year falling from 3 to 1. Based on data from the past six months, BTC has a 30-day correlation of 0.72 with the Nasdaq and a negative correlation of -0.65 with the dollar index. That works out to an average 4-6% drawdown in total crypto market cap for every 25 bp fewer in Fed rate cuts. In other words, this $ICNT rally is pushing uphill against the macro tide.
A rally against the tide has only two possible outco

WHY BOTH PPI AND CPI BEAT FORECAST IN SEPTEMBER 📊
US inflation data for September showed a double beat. Producer Price Index and Consumer Price Index both came in above broad market forecast. This mix shows that price pressure did not cool as fast as many had hoped, and held firm from factory gate to final consumer.
PPI tracks cost change at wholesale and factory level. CPI tracks price paid by end user. When both rise above forecast, it means cost pressure has not been fully absorbed and has partly passed to consumer side.

In this macro environment, stocks and BTC face the same headwind, while gold’s thesis is comparatively straightforward.
First, stocks. South Korea’s stock market plunged about 7.6% this week, triggering circuit breakers, while U.S. semiconductor stocks remained under pressure. The Nasdaq 100 fell 2% in a single day after the CPI release. Concerns about an “AI bubble” are moving from sentiment into pricing: Nvidia has pulled back nearly 10% since hitting a record high last week. Qualcomm, ARM, and Texas Instruments all fell more than 2%, making chip stocks among the hardest hit in this sell-off

$SNDK 5-hour chart is flashing a deeply oversold reading with RSI at 24.6 and price hammering out a long wick just above $1,276—setting up a showdown between relentless bears and bargain-hunting bulls. The current price at $1,369.35 keeps the door open for a quick bounce, but the dominant downtrend warns that rallies may be short-lived. ‌

#特斯拉Roadster带火Meme币 FTR's 650x surge is "sentiment money"; whether TSLAX rises depends on "Tesla's stock price"—two groups of people, two different sets of books
Today Tesla unveiled its "flying" Roadster (0–60 mph in 0.81 seconds, rocket version can fly, China reservation deposit of 332,000, production in 2028); FTR on Solana (a "flying car" concept meme coin) surged 650x in 24 hours on the news, briefly reaching a market cap of $5.86 million.
My take: this buzz can "rub off on" TSLAX, but whether it can "carry through" is another matter—FTR is rising on "sentiment," while TSLAX rises on "Tes

$AVGO Broadcom and Nvidia are also stocks I recommend buying on the dip and building positions in during this round of U.S. market declines. I’m currently down a little, but just hold steady and wait for them to rally. I don’t know how everyone feels when facing unrealized losses, but I’m already pretty calm. These are all stocks we know very well, and major shakeouts driven by news happen often. As long as everyone keeps some reserves, emotions should remain stable.

What Was Expected, What Happened?
Everyone expected this: Producer prices would increase by 0.5% - 0.6% monthly, reaching 5.3% annually. In other words, we would say that inflation was gradually coming under control.
The data that came in was a shock:
A 1.3% monthly increase. Almost three times the expectation. The biggest jump since 2022.
A 6.3% annual increase. The expectation was 5.3%. It was 5.6% in August, so there's an increase, not a decrease.
Even core data, which is the data excluding food and energy, increased by 0.5% monthly. So inflation isn't just due to oil; it's spread everywher

#美国9月PPI大超预期 #美国9月CPI超预期 The most valuable signal this week was neither CPI nor PPI, but “Treasury yields falling ‘abnormally’ in response to inflation”—the market is beginning to shift from “fearing inflation” to “fearing rate hikes will kill the economy.”

This week’s (10/12-16) script: three consecutive inflation hits (CPI at 3.7% above expectations → PPI at 6.3%, a four-year high → retail sales at 0.8%, also strong), but the market did not follow the straight line of “inflation → rate hikes → risk assets collapse.” Instead, it traced a “divergent” curve: Japan and South Korea stocks suffe
