🚨 US Inflation Data Drops — What Traders Need to Know
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has released the latest inflation report after a 43-day government shutdown, focusing only on Year-over-Year (YoY) trends.
Key Takeaways:
Inflation: 3.1% YoY — matches consensus but shows a slight acceleration, indicating the disinflation trend has stalled.
Labor Market: Unemployment rose to 4.6%, while Initial Jobless Claims hit 236K vs. 220K expected — signaling softness in the labor market.
Fed Implications: No clear signal for aggressive rate cuts in early 2026; the central bank remains in a tricky position.
Market Focus:
Bitcoin ($BTC): Prepare for high volatility as the market digests the data.
US Dollar ($DXY): Holding steady, awaiting further macro clarity.
The inflation gap is closed, but the market fight isn’t over yet.
