USPPIJump
The latest jump in the US Producer Price Index (PPI) signals renewed inflation pressure at the wholesale level, raising fresh concerns for markets. Higher input costs for producers often flow into consumer prices, complicating the Fed’s path toward rate cuts. For crypto and risk assets, this data adds short-term uncertainty, as tighter monetary policy expectations can weigh on liquidity. However, persistent inflation also reinforces the long-term narrative for Bitcoin as a hedge against currency debasement. Markets are now closely watching CPI and Fed commentary to gauge whether this PPI surge is temporary or the start of another inflation wave.
