📈 US Inflation Alert: April CPI Hits 3.8%
April 2026 inflation data is hotter than expected, marking the highest jump since May 2023.
Quick Take:
Drivers: Global tensions and rising energy costs (Gas up 28.4% YoY).
Impact: Real wages are falling as inflation outpaces pay growth.
Market View: Higher-for-longer rates might keep risk assets shaky in the short term. Watch for Bitcoin to act as a hedge if the dollar stays volatile.
