🚨 Inflation Is Heating Up Again 🚨
Tuesday’s CPI came in above 3% for the second straight reading and the biggest driver is clear:
🛢️ Oil prices.
This isn’t broad structural inflation across the entire economy yet but consumers are still feeling the pain every time energy costs rise.
Higher fuel costs → higher transport costs → higher prices everywhere.
And that changes the macro outlook fast.
The market was hoping for aggressive rate cuts in 2026 but sticky inflation keeps putting pressure on the Federal Reserve to stay cautious.
📌 Current expectation:
The Fed likely stays on hold through the summer with interest rates unchanged.
That means:
❌ Higher-for-longer liquidity conditions
❌ More pressure on risk assets
❌ Volatility across crypto and equities
The next few inflation reports could decide whether markets get relief… or another macro shock.
