US PMI Data Due Friday Ahead of Fed Rate Decision
- —Manufacturing PMI forecast at 55.6, down from 55.9 in September
- —Services PMI expected to ease to 57.9 from 58.8
- —The Fed is widely expected to hold rates on October 28 after September's hike
- —Markets fully price another rate increase in December
Why it matters: Strong activity data and sticky inflation would reinforce expectations of higher rates, which have historically weighed on liquidity and risk appetite in crypto.
