CPI In Line With Expectations
What It Means
No surprise = no panic. But no improvement either.
Inflation still running hot just not getting worse this month.
But The Bigger Picture Has Not Changed
✅ Inflation still above Fed target ✅ No rate cuts coming ✅ Warsh meets June 16-17 — 10 days away ✅ Strait of Hormuz still closed ✅ Oil still elevated
What This Means For Assets
Gold — neutral to slightly positive. No new inflation shock = no panic selling. Support holds.
BTC — small relief possible. But structural headwinds remain. Do not chase a rally on this news.
NQ/S&P — slight relief rally possible short term. But do not forget indices are still expensive with no rate cuts coming.
