#美7月PPI年率高于预期

PPI skyrockets, has the Federal Reserve's "rate cut dream" been shattered again?
In July, the US PPI exceeded expectations, much like a gym owner suddenly announcing a fee increase, instantly extinguishing the good mood of market investors. Let's not forget that PPI is the "big brother on the production side" of CPI; when it goes up, CPI usually follows suit. In other words, the Federal Reserve's original expectation of "inflation tapering" may have to retake the exam now. The market was originally dreaming of a rate cut in September, but the data poured cold water on that: high PPI means greater inflation pressure, can the Federal Reserve afford to ease up easily? Come on, does Powell even want to save face? Investors need to understand that rate cuts aren't a wishing well where you can just toss in a coin and make a wish. The current market situation feels more like "interest rates stuck + economic undercurrents," and both the stock market and cryptocurrency market may face a period of "emotional rollercoaster." However, the retail investor community has always had a motto: prices may fall, but are you brave enough to bring some real excitement?
