US CPI, US DOLLAR ANALYSIS AND NEWS

  • Firm Break of Parity in Euro Likely on Higher Than Expected US CPI Print
  • US CPI Projected to Rise to 8.8%

US Dollar Price Action: How Will Markets React to US CPI?

All eyes are on today’s US CPI report and judging by the White House Press Secretary’s comments the Biden Administration is gearing up for another sizeable inflation print. As it stands, market consensus is looking for a reading of 8.8%, however, in light of recent comments made by the White House risks appear geared towards another upside surprise. Below is a comparison in comments made by the press secretary ahead of last month’s shock CPI reading.

June: White House Press Secretary expects inflation numbers to be "elevated" - US CPI 8.6% vs 8.3% expected

July: White House Press Secretary expects inflation data to be "highly elevated"- US CPI expected at 8.8%

However, the question is, does “highly elevated” mean 8.8% (higher than prior, but in-line) or say a 9-handle inflation print, because there would be a notable difference in the market's reaction. As a reminder, from a trader's point of view when comparing data, the most important factor is how it compares to market expectations. As such, would we see inflation above expectations, which would likely propel the USD and US yields higher, while also weighing on risk sentiment. Of note, the S&P 500 is still below its pre-CPI level at 4014.

    • The cryptocurrency industry has grown rapidly in recent years, with the total market capitalization now exceeding $500 billion. However, the industry still faces a number of challenges, including security and on-chain efficiency which is one of the biggest challenges in the cryptocurrency industry, because in recent years, there have been a number of high-profile hacks of cryptocurrency exchanges & wallets, and traders are faced with high cost of on-chain transactions. All of which summed up to make cryptocurrency trading less efficient. In order to address these issues, exchanges are seen taking up the responsibility of solving the problems and I've seen Bitget, a leading cryptocurrency derivatives exchange, recently partnering with Cobo, a leading provider of digital asset custody and security solutions. This partnership is aimed at enhancing the security and efficiency of cryptocurrency trading, which will allow users to seamlessly execute cross-exchange transactions, enabling users to capitalise on arbitrage opportunities without having to deposit their funds directly on exchanges. This could significantly reduce on-chain transaction gas costs and make crypto investments more efficient and cost-effective. Developments like this, if it could be capitalised on would take away bad players from the industry, make crypto a safe place and increase its adoption, but how wide would it cover for the whole users in the crypto space and even Bitcoin?

    • I think bitget will be the obvious option cos binance that use to be a good option isn't finding it rosy atm with regulatory bodies and speculations around the health of the exchange aren't friendly to feel safe with them atm
