- —Core CPI seen at +0.21% m/m and 2.40% y/y, with bank estimates ranging 0.16–0.24%
- —Morgan Stanley has the highest headline estimate at 0.62% m/m
- —The Fed hiked to 3.75–4.00% in September; markets debate a move on October 28
Why it matters: A soft core reading would cut odds of an October hike and support risk assets including bitcoin; a hot print would add pressure.
