CPI gives markets a new risk-on signal: headline inflation eases to 3.5%, core to 2.6%, fueling rate-cut bets
AI Market Summary
Softer CPI (headline 3.5%, core 2.6%) and the largest MoM cooling since 2020 pulled yields lower and reinforced expectations for earlier policy easing. The resulting drop in real-rate pressure supported gold's rebound and improved risk appetite, lifting BTC alongside broader risk assets. In the near term, markets may remain highly sensitive to rate-path repricing and follow-through in bonds and the dollar.

Gold bounced back, Bitcoin ($BTC) moved higher in tandem, and Treasury yields fell. The market is now watching which asset class leads the next leg.
