US inflation and PPI data fuel market volatility and crypto outflows
Higher-than-expected US inflation and producer price data have triggered significant volatility across global financial markets. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.6% month-over-month in September, bringing the annual inflation rate to 3.7%, which exceeded the 3.6% forecast. Additionally, the Producer Price Index (PPI) rose 6.3% year-over-year, its highest annual reading since December 2022, signaling that inflationary pressures are spreading beyond energy into goods and services.
These economic indicators have directly impacted digital assets. Global digital asset investment products recorded $434 million in net outflows for the week ending October 16. Bitcoin experienced significant volatility, briefly dipping below $80,000 before recovering near the $82,000 level. Cryptocurrency liquidations exceeded $930 million during a recent period of market turbulence.
In response to the data, market expectations regarding Federal Reserve policy have shifted. While Polymarket indicated a 75% probability of a rate pause in October, some analysts and institutions, such as UBS, have revised outlooks to include additional rate hikes through 2027. Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh has maintained a cautious stance, declining to provide specific guidance on future meeting outcomes during recent discussions in Bangkok.
