CPI unexpectedly declines, Fed's rate cut window reappears

The US Treasury market rose due to the Consumer Price Index being below expectations, reflecting a weakening inflation data, which increases the likelihood of rate cuts. Lower funding costs will promote liquidity and may present opportunities for risk asset appreciation. Close attention should be paid to the Federal Reserve's subsequent actions and their impact on the capital markets.

【Crypto World】Latest news reports that the US Treasury bond market has responded accordingly. The Consumer Price Index falling short of expectations directly triggered a rise in bond prices — the underlying logic is quite straightforward: weaker inflation data increases the likelihood of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates in the future.

What does this mean for us? Lower funding costs and an increased expectation of liquidity easing. Whenever the market senses the possibility of rate cuts, risk assets often present opportunities. The Federal Reserve’s actions in the second half of this year are worth continuing to watch — they directly relate to the entire capital market, including the flow of funds in crypto assets.

In the short term, the decline in bond yields will also change the asset allocation strategies of large funds. Historical experience tells us that the period just before a loosening cycle is often a good time to position oneself.
