Markets took a nosedive last week, because apparently, the labor market slowing down is code for “let’s panic.” Meanwhile, crypto assets are playing the “wait and see” game like they’re at a slow-mo dance-no moves, just vibes. 🤶
The Federal Reserve has two mandates: maximum employment and stable prices. Who knew being a central bank was like dating someone who wants everything but can’t commit to a dinner party? This week, investors get the inflation report card, and let’s just say the grades are looking more like a C- than an A+. 📉
“It’s all about inflation this week ahead of a pivotal Fed meeting that is 10 days away,” said the Kobeissi Letter, because nothing says ‘calm’ like a cryptic financial newsletter. 📜
Economic Events September 8 to 12: A Drama Series in Five Acts
Wednesday’s PPI report is like the economy’s gossip column-it tells us what producers are whispering about input costs. Spoiler: it’s all about how much your latte will cost next year. ☕
Thursday’s CPI report is the main event, the economy’s version of a reality show finale. If inflation keeps rising, your grocery bill might start dating your rent. 🛒
Friday’s consumer sentiment index is the economy’s therapy session-except everyone’s just yelling about gas prices. 🚗
Donald Trump insists there’s no inflation, but let’s be real, he’s just in denial about the cost of his hair. 💸 Meanwhile, Bank of America’s gloomy forecast says CPI might hit 2.9%-because nothing says “confidence” like a number that’s basically a midlife crisis. 🤯
Key Events This Week: Because the economy can’t pick one thing to do
1. 12-Month BLS Data Revision – Tuesday (because revising the past is so 2025)
2. August PPI Inflation data – Wednesday (producer problems, amplified)
3. OPEC Monthly Report – Thursday (oil and gas: still not dating)
4. August CPI Inflation data – Thursday (your wallet’s eulogy)
5. MI Consumer Sentiment data – Friday (optimism? What optimism?)
6. MI Inflation Expectations data – Friday (because expecting the worst is a trend now)
The last…

The Kobeissi Letter also spotted a recession signal that’s “flashing red” like a traffic light that’s judging your life choices. US construction spending dropped 2.8% in July-because who needs houses when you can have inflation? 🏠
Crypto Market Outlook: Drama, Gains, and a Side of Altcoin Cheer
Rising inflation is crypto’s ex, whispering, “You’re not good for me.” Retail investors are tightening belts like they’re prepping for a fashion show. 🎀
Markets stayed flat over the weekend, but Bitcoin briefly flirted with $111,000 like it was at a bar and thought, “Why not?” 🍸 Meanwhile, Ethereum’s been playing the $4,300 price range like a broken metronome-predictable but boring. 🤢
The altcoins are the party crashers of the bunch, with XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, and Hyperliquid throwing confetti in green. Shoutout to Dogecoin for making Shiba Inus proud. 🐕
