It’s not just Bitcoin, stocks are up big too in early trading. Just got to pray CPE on Tuesday doesn’t come in higher than expectations. We know inflation is rising due to tariffs but think we going to be good on this months numbers. Could get dicey later this year though

[u/VariatCA → u/wvutrip]

Futures are up only about +0.20%, this is pretty normal futures-trading activity and not particularly indicative for what the next active trading day will actually do.

Some of the estimates I was looking at were predicting about 3% YoY inflation and about 2.8% core inflation, which is a slight uptick. This figure is still above the FED's publicly held mandate of a goal of 2% inflation, which would on its own still make rate cuts a tough proposition... but the Jobs Data might need to be addressed by a small rate cut before tackling inflation is back on the menu.

The FED is still in a tough position.
