  • Markets Brace for US CPI Data as Dollar Steadies

    From monetamarkets.com

    As market participants brace for the US CPI report, sentiment remains measured across asset classes. A softer inflation reading could fuel expectations for Fed rate cuts, supporting risk assets, while a hotter print may strengthen the Dollar and pressure commodities. With geopolitical storylines and central bank decisions also in play, volatility could pick up sharply once the data hits the wires. Gold is marginally higher, trading around $3,350–$3,355, as U.S. dollar bulls take a back seat ahead of the crucial U.S. CPI report.

Quoting Polimini
Unless it's fake, something that wouldn't be surprising coming from the Kingdom of Donald Trump, the inflation will continue to go higher and higher
From here on all figures are "fake"
Fake because Trump doesn't like them so says they are fake and someone gets fired, or fake because the figures get adjusted so no one gets fired. Least likely option is figures agree with Trump's fantasy and are actually real.

Trump: Jerome “Too Late” Powell must now lower the rate; to pursue lawsuit against Powell
From @realDonaldTrump | Aug 12, 2025 | 183 comments
Jerome “Too Late” Powell must NOW lower the rate. Steve “Manouychin” really gave me a “beauty”when he pushed this loser. The damage he has done by always being Too Late is incalculable. Fortunately, the economy is sooo good that we’ve blown through Powell and the complacent Board. I am, though, considering allowing a major lawsuit against Powell to proceed because of the horrible, and grossly incompetent, job he has done in managing the construction of the Fed Buildings. Three Billion Dollars for a job that should have been a $50 Million Dollar fix up. Not good! *TRUMP: CONSIDERING ALLOWING A MAJOR LAWSUIT AGAINST POWELL *TRUMP: CONSIDERING POWELL LAWSUIT OVER FED BUILDING MANAGEMENT
