U.S. CPI set to ignite markets at 21:30 tonight! If inflation exceeds expectations again, a December rate hike may really be unavoidable?

At 21:30 tonight, global financial markets are about to face another stress test! The U.S. October CPI is about to be released, and investors have just one question on their minds: Has inflation actually come down?
If the data comes in above expectations again, bets on a December rate hike by the Fed are likely to heat up further. After all, inflation is like a disobedient child: its parents have told it several times to cool down, but it keeps running a fever.
For markets, the bad news may not just be rising prices, but that high interest rates will stick around even longer.
For BTC, if the dollar and Treasury yields strengthen at the same time, the crypto market may come under pressure first. After all, although Bitcoin is billed as digital gold, when liquidity tightens, it sometimes acts more like a high-volatility tech stock.
For U.S. stocks, tech stocks in particular may see their valuations squeezed by rising interest rates. Gold may also face selling pressure as the opportunity cost of holding it increases.
However, if CPI comes in below expectations, the market could instantly switch into celebration mode.
Remember one thing tonight: The market isn't afraid of high inflation; it's most afraid of inflation coming in even higher than everyone imagined!
Do you think tonight's CPI will deliver a heavy blow to the market, or bring a much-needed reassurance? #每周来晒 and #美国10月CPI即将公布 $SNDK
