Hello Hive Community! Today, while scanning the economic calendar, I came across a high-impact event that every trader should be watching closely: the Core Producer Price Index (PPI). In the world of Forex Factory, a Red Folder means volatility is coming, and as a trader, this is where the opportunities lie

What is Core PPI and Why Does it Matter?

The PPI measures the change in the price of finished goods and services from the producer's perspective. It’s a leading indicator for consumer inflation (CPI). When producers pay more, consumers eventually pay more. The "Core" version is especially vital because it strips out the volatile food and energy sectors, giving us a clearer view of underlying inflation.

The Market Scenarios:

Bullish USD: If the actual release is higher than the 0.3% forecast, it signals persistent inflation. This usually strengthens the Dollar as it suggests the Fed might keep rates higher for longer.

Bearish USD: A lower-than-expected number could show that inflation is cooling faster than thought, leading to a temporary dip in the Dollar's strength.

Look at the past:

What’s your strategy ? Are you betting on a strong Dollar, or do you think the delay has already made this data "priced in" for Bitcoin? Let’s discuss in the comments!
