Eyes on the Market Vol. 26: Inflation Running Hot
BTC fell 2.47% from Monday’s open to Friday’s close. The Nasdaq fell 4.43% on an AI selloff. BTC lost a little over half as much as tech. ETH fell 4.81% and lost the relative strength against BTC we have tracked since July.
What moved markets this week:
→ Core CPI beat. Headline rose 0.6% m/m as expected, but core rose 0.3% against 0.2% expected and 2.6% y/y against 2.5%. Annual core had hit its lowest level since March 2021 a month ago. That low has now reversed.
→ PPI rose 1.3%, its largest monthly gain since March 2022. Goods prices rose 2.6%, a record for the series. Crude oil inputs jumped 28.3%, costs businesses have not yet passed on.
→ October hike odds on Polymarket jumped from 22% to 48% on CPI, then fell to 13% after Warsh declined to signal the October 27–28 decision.
→ MSCI adopted its non-operating company screen. Strategy and Metaplanet are on the provisional deletion list, effective November 30.
→ ETFs lost $548.5M. ETH ETFs posted a third straight outflow week, $1B over three weeks, reversing 62% of their 2026 inflows.
