#USCPISurgesToThreeYearHighOf4.2%
🇺🇸 Inflation Shaking Wall Street
On June 10, May's CPI shot up to 4.2% year-on-year, its highest level since April 2023 (up from 3.8% in April). Energy surged by 3.9% month-over-month, and housing continues its relentless climb.
🔍 Why does it sting so much?
It's not just about prices going up. It's what it forces the Fed to do. Their mandate is maximum employment + 2% inflation. With strong employment (172,000 jobs in May), all the pressure falls on inflation.
The Fed's solution: raise interest rates. Higher rates → expensive credit → less consumption → economy slows down. The butterfly effect in the markets:
· Less liquidity: investors prefer Treasury bonds.
· Stronger dollar: foreign capital flows in seeking safe returns.
· Risky assets drop: tech, semiconductors, and cryptocurrencies take a hit.
💥 The Crash in Numbers
· Nasdaq: -3% (Apple -3%, Micron -8%, Marvell -14%)
· Bitcoin: -14% weekly, nearing $61,000 (-50% from ATH)
· Ethereum: -15.8% weekly, -19% monthly
· Gold: -2.4% to $4,161 (11-week low)
· Silver: -2% to $64 (lowest level since Dec 2025)
🗓️ What's Next
· June 11: PPI (factory inflation)
· June 12: SpaceX Debut (IPO of $1.75 trillion)
· June 17: Fed's "Dot Plot" (rate projections)
The market is already pricing in a 70% chance of a rate hike in December. Inflation isn't letting up, and volatile assets are going to pay the price.
Do you think the Fed will raise rates this year? 👇
