PPI is not the destination; it is the bridge to PCE. And PCE is the number the Fed truly cares about.

How PCE Is “Put Together”
The PCE Price Index is compiled using relevant data from PPI, CPI, and import prices. Several PPI components—including portfolio management fees, airfares, and physician an

The Fed’s “Data Blind Spot” — The Special Significance of PPI Under the Shadow of the Government Shutdown
When data itself becomes scarce, the market value of every piece of information is amplified. PPI during the government shutdown is precisely this kind of “information lever.”
The release timing of this PPI data is itself worth considering. Under the normal schedule, September PPI should have been released in mid-October, but statistical delays caused by the government shutdown pushed the release back by several weeks.

Asset Correlations After Explosive PPI Data—Who Is Telling the Truth: the Dollar, Gold, or BTC?
When the same data sends the dollar up first and then down, gold higher against the trend, and BTC lower under pressure, what you need to ask is not “who is right or wrong?” but “what is each one pricing in?”

Ledger Devices Implanted With Spy Chips? Understanding the Hardware Wallet Security Concerns
Introduction
A serious security allegation involving hardware wallets has drawn attention to one of the most important issues in the cryptocurrency industry: the safety of private keys and recovery phrases. The topic raises concerns about whether a compromised device could expose sensitive wallet information during setup.
For cryptocurrency users, hardware wallets are designed to provide an additional layer of protection by keeping private keys isolated from intern

$BTC On October 15 Beijing time, global markets saw sharp sector divergence, with safe-haven trading in U.S. Treasuries heating up again. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell 10 basis points to 5.08%, easing liquidity pressure at the margin and boosting precious metals, with spot gold rising more than 1% and spot silver gaining nearly 2%.

🚨 YOUR HARDWARE WALLET MAY LOOK GENUINE — BUT IS IT REALLY SAFE?
