Macro & Markets ·
October is poised to deliver significant macroeconomic data releases that could reshape interest-rate expectations and drive volatility in bitcoin and broader crypto markets. The FOMC meeting minutes arrive on October 7, followed by September CPI and PPI figures along with retail sales data on October 14, each capable of influencing market sentiment around monetary policy. The Federal Reserve's two-day FOMC meeting concludes on October 28 with a policy statement and press conference, with an advance GDP estimate and September PCE inflation reading due days later that could reset expectations for the central bank's year-end decision.
