The U.S. market was closed on Monday due to Labor Day, but there are still several macroeconomic data releases in the second half of this week. For the crypto market, trading will not be interrupted, and investors will continue to pay attention to whether U.S. inflation and signals from the Federal Reserve will change the trend of risk assets.
On Thursday, PPI and the balance sheet will be announced.
The United States will release the Producer Price Index ( PPI ) on September 10th. This data is generally considered an important indicator for observing inflationary pressures on the wholesale side. On the same day, the Federal Reserve will also release the latest balance sheet data, which markets will use to determine whether there have been changes in the liquidity environment.
If inflationary pressures exceed expectations, the market's assessment of subsequent interest rate paths may tighten again, and both stocks and crypto assets could face greater volatility.
Friday CPI data gets more attention
The Consumer Price Index ( CPI ) released on September 11 will be the focus of this week. If CPI exceeds market expectations, risk appetite may decline, and the likelihood of high-volatility assets coming under pressure will also increase, especially cryptocurrencies and small-cap stocks.
The article mentions that inflation remains an important variable in the current market. If price pressures persist, the expectation that the Federal Reserve will maintain a tight stance may increase, and funds may also withdraw from high-risk assets.
Bitcoin has fallen back from $82,000
While the market awaited a new round of macroeconomic data, Bitcoin briefly returned above $82,000 recently, but then fell back to around $79,000. From late August to early September, there was a period of upward momentum in the crypto market, but the recent upward trend has slowed down.
This means that if this week's U.S. inflation data deviates significantly from expectations, it could become an important trigger for short-term risk sentiment. Both the stock market and the crypto market may reprice around inflation and interest rate expectations.
