Breaking news: The US Bureau of Labor Statistics dropped CPI numbers so underwhelming, they couldāve been a contestant on Survivor and gotten voted off in the first episode. Monthly inflation? A measly 0.3%. Annual? 2.7%. Core CPI? Still not worth a trophy, folks. Both numbers missed expectations by 0.1%-because even inflationās playing coy these days.
Enter Donald Trump, mic in hand, ready to roast Fed Chair Jerome Powell like a Thanksgiving turkey. For 18 months, heās been screaming, āCUT THE RATES, JEROME!ā Now, with CPI as his new BFF, heās back with a vengeance. āYouāre too late!ā he yells. āCut the interest rates, MEANINGFULLY!!!ā (Note: Capitalization is for emphasis; probably doesnāt mean āuse a thesaurus.ā)
BREAKING: POTUS tweets at the Fed like itās a customer service line. āThank you mister tariff,ā he adds, because why not?

Bitcoin, meanwhile, is doing the financial equivalent of a confused shrug. It spiked from $92k to $92.5k post-CPI, then slumped back down like a deflated bouncy castle. Now itās rallying again, probably because the marketās geopolitical drama is more exciting than this drama. Buckle up-volatilityās coming, and itās bringing snacks (for the rollercoaster, obviously).
