🚨 The inflation earthquake strikes again.. Has the era of "low interest rates" ended before it even began? 📉🔥
The numbers don't lie, and what happened today in the American markets is not just "transitory data", but a clear announcement that the Fed's battle against inflation is not yet settled! 🥊
Here’s what happened in seconds:
• Producer Price Index (PPI): jumped by 3.0% annually, surpassing all expectations! 📈
• Core inflation: rose to 3.3%, meaning that price pressures have moved to the heart of core costs.
• Market reaction: gold is falling sharply (XAU/USD -5.13%), the dollar is flexing its muscles (DX +0.40%), and stocks are painted red! 🔴
What does this mean for your portfolio? 🤔
These numbers mean that the "Fed" may have to keep interest rates high for longer than we imagined. We are now facing a complex economic scene, where certainty is "uncertainty"!
Inflation is still stubborn.. and the path towards lowering interest rates has become more complicated and lengthy."
