Inflation

The official figures of American inflation are directly opposed to those of alternative indicators. While the Fed is cautious about a possible monetary pivot, independent data suggest that real inflation would already be well below the 2% mark. This discrepancy raises doubts about the relevance of the tools used by the authorities and could disrupt market expectations, especially in the crypto ecosystem, where every macroeconomic signal is closely scrutinized.

The minutes of the Fed published on October 8 confirm an expected but delicate monetary shift. While the rate cut is now underway, the extent of the move by the end of the year still divides the committee.

For crypto investors, sensitive to monetary policy signals, every Fed hesitation becomes a factor of volatility.

The PCE inflation figures for the month of August, published this Friday, September 27, confirm apparent stability, with progress as expected.

The Federal Reserve has made its decision, but without certainty. According to Jerome Powell, no interest rate adjustment will be without consequences. While several central banks have started a cycle of rate cuts, the Fed chairman warns of a strategic deadlock. In a context where inflation remains resilient and employment wavers, every decision becomes risky. A strong signal sent to the markets closely watching every word from the Fed as a decisive monetary turning point approaches.

The crypto market has just suffered one of its most significant setbacks of the year. In a few hours, bitcoin lost over $5,000, causing a widespread rout among other assets. Indeed, the release of a US Producer Price Index (PPI) well beyond expectations rekindles the specter of persistent inflation. This statistic, which surprises both Wall Street and the crypto ecosystem, upends monetary policy expectations and triggers a cascade of liquidations on leveraged positions, increasing downward pressure.
