Bitcoin Steadies Near $79,500 as Markets Eye US PPI, CPI and Treasury Auction

Bitcoin traded near $79,500 on September 7, with market focus shifting to the upcoming U.S. economic data releases for August, including the Producer Price Index (PPI) and Consumer Price Index (CPI), as well as the 10-year Treasury auction scheduled for Wednesday. These events are closely watched as they occur just before the Federal Reserve's policy meeting on September 15-16. The August nonfarm payrolls report, released earlier, showed an increase of 162,000 jobs, with the unemployment rate unchanged at 4.1%. Following the jobs data, market expectations for a September rate hike rose to approximately 58%, according to market pricing. Economists surveyed expect the August PPI to rise 0.4% month-on-month, while core PPI is forecast to increase 0.3%. These inflation figures will provide additional context for the Fed's decision-making. The crypto market is monitoring these developments for potential directional cues.

IFM Investors: Next Week's CPI Will Determine Fed Action, Waller's Credibility at Stake

IFM Investors portfolio manager Ryan Weldon commented that the August nonfarm payrolls data will keep the Federal Reserve and the market completely focused on next week's inflation data. He said this could give the Fed more room to raise interest rates. If inflation does not show a convincing decline, the Fed will need to act to maintain the credibility that Waller earned after his hawkish remarks at the Jackson Hole symposium. The statement underscores the importance of the upcoming CPI report for the Fed's policy direction.

Bank of America: Nonfarm Payrolls May Not Be Decisive for September Rate Hike, CPI Remains Key

Bond markets have been volatile recently, with investors awaiting two key U.S. data releases: the August nonfarm payrolls report on Friday and the August CPI on September 11. Bank of America views the employment data as an "appetizer" compared to the CPI "main course" in determining the Federal Reserve's September rate decision. The bank's analysts said Wednesday that nonfarm payrolls are unlikely to be the decisive factor for a September rate hike, unless a significant downside surprise occurs. Bank of America maintains its forecast for a September rate hike, emphasizing that inflation remains the Fed's primary concern.

Yen Near 40-Year Low: BOJ Hikes to 1% but Cannot Halt Depreciation

The Japanese yen is approaching its weakest level since 1986. Despite the Bank of Japan raising its policy rate to a 31-year high of 1% and jointly spending a record 11.7 trillion yen on intervention with the Ministry of Finance, the depreciation trend remains unchecked. The core contradiction lies in the widening U.S.-Japan interest rate spread, crowded carry trades, and limited room for further hikes due to high government debt.
