Bitunix分析师:CPI给市场喘息空间,但高赤字、日元与能源风险仍推高长期资金成本

火星财经消息,8 月 13 日,美国 7 月 CPI 月增 0.1%、年增 3.4%,核心 CPI 年增 2.5%,整体通胀表现温和,能源价格下滑也抵消了部分住房成本的上行压力。数据公布后,市场对美联储 9 月加息的定价由约五成降至四成左右,短期政策压力有所缓解。 但这份 CPI 并不足以直接转化为宽松预期。美国财政赤字仍在扩大,前 10 个月累计赤字接近 1.8 万亿美元,国债规模逼近 40 万亿美元,利息支出也持续增加。在此背景下,美国需要持续发行大量国债,而 10 年期美债此次拍卖收益率升至 2007 年以来高位,30 年期收益率更逼近 5.25%,反映长端资金成本受到财政供给、通胀黏性与市场风险溢价共同推动。 因此,目前美国利率市场的关键已不只是美联储 9 月是否加息,而是即使美联储维持利率不变,长端收益率是否仍会因财政赤字与国债供给持续走高。这也意味着金融条件未必会随着政策利率下降而同步改善,对于高估值、高杠杆资产而言,长端收益率仍是重要压力来源。 亚洲方面,日元再次接近 160 关口,日本 7 月 PPI 同比增长 7.2%,使日本央行 9 月加息预期升温。若日本货币政策进一步正常化,加上日美利差收窄,全球资金配置与日元套利交易都可能受到影响。 黄金则受益于加息尾部风险下降、美元走弱及财政不确定性重新获得支撑,但目前更接近由利率预期驱动的战术性反弹,而非单纯的降息交易。后续杰克逊霍尔会议、通胀与就业数据仍将决定黄金行情能否延续。 另一方面,俄乌冲突正将能源与粮食供应风险重新带回全球市场。俄罗斯与乌克兰近期持续攻击黑海港口、能源设施及商船,乌克兰正值粮食出口旺季,若黑海航运受到进一步干扰,可能推升小麦及相关食品价格,也使原本已经存在的能源通胀风险更加复杂。 整体而言,7 月 CPI 降低了美联储立即加息的压力,但并未消除美国高赤字、高债务与高长端收益率所形成的资金成本约束。接下来全球资产定价的核心,将逐渐集中于「通胀是否持续降温」与「财政供给是否推高长期利率」两股力量的拉锯。对于比特币等高波动资产而言,短期仍需关注美元流动性与美债长端收益率,而非仅仅观察美联储政策利率本身。

Bitunix analysts: Energy inflation pushed CPI to a three-year high, but cooling core data prompted the market to pause its bets on interest rate hikes.

According to Mars Finance, on June 11th, the US May CPI rose to 4.2% year-on-year, a near three-year high. Energy prices increased by 23.5% year-on-year, with gasoline prices surging by 40.5%, contributing over 60% of the inflation increase in a single month. This data once again proves that the Middle East situation and supply risks in the Strait of Hormuz have become the main sources of current global inflationary pressures, and energy prices are gradually affecting economic activity through transportation and business costs. However, the market is more focused on another set of data. The core CPI, excluding food and energy, rose by only 0.2% month-on-month, lower than market expectations, indicating that the energy shock has not yet fully spread to the service and consumption sectors. Housing, healthcare, and entertainment prices maintained a moderate increase, but prices for auto insurance, new cars, and household goods declined, reflecting that domestic demand has not experienced runaway inflation. This has led the market to reassess its policy path. Although the overall CPI continues to climb, the cooling of core inflation makes it unnecessary for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates immediately in the short term. The market is currently more focused on whether next week's meeting will shift to a neutral-to-hawkish stance, rather than directly raising interest rates. For financial markets, this report reveals an important signal: the current risk has shifted from overheated demand to supply shocks. If energy prices continue to remain high due to geopolitical influences, the world will face pressure of "high inflation but slowing economic momentum"; conversely, if energy supply returns to normal, core inflation still has a chance to return to a downward trajectory. For the crypto market, the key short-term issue for Bitcoin is no longer just whether the Fed will raise interest rates, but whether global liquidity can continue to expand. If energy inflation further pushes up real funding costs, risk asset valuations will be suppressed; however, if core inflation remains under control, market concerns about liquidity are expected to ease.

Bitunix Analyst: Today's CPI Data May Further Increase Expectations of an Interest Rate Hike Cycle

Mars Finance reports on June 10th that while the market has been pricing in the timing of interest rate cuts for the past year, recent data has prompted investors to consider another question: if inflation rebounds while the economy and employment remain strong, will major central banks worldwide have to return to a rate hike path? The US May CPI, to be released tonight, will be a key indicator. The market expects the annual growth rate to rise to 4.2%, marking the first time in nearly three years that it has returned to above 4%. It's worth noting that this round of inflation is no longer simply due to rising energy prices; energy, tariffs, and service sector costs are simultaneously pushing up price pressures, while wage growth is lagging behind inflation, indicating a continued erosion of real purchasing power. For the Federal Reserve, the real concern is not just a single month's data, but whether inflation expectations are starting to spiral out of control again. More importantly, the bond market has already priced this in. From SOFR options to the US Treasury market, a large amount of capital is betting that the Fed may raise interest rates again as early as September. The recent continuous rise in yields on 2-year and 10-year US Treasury bonds reflects the market's growing acceptance of the possibility of "higher and longer" or even "limited" interest rate hikes. This is the core reason for the recent increased volatility in tech stocks, gold, and the crypto market; the market's concern is not about an economic recession, but rather the renewed rise in funding costs. Meanwhile, the market almost unanimously expects the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates by 25 basis points to 1% next week, the highest level since 1995, and even anticipates a possible further rate hike in October. If Japan officially enters a rate hike cycle, it means that the ultra-loose policies that have supported global liquidity for the past decade are gradually being phased out. When the US, Japan, and Europe all begin discussing tightening policies, the rise in global funding costs will no longer be a problem for a single country, but a global revaluation of liquidity. For the crypto market, the biggest variable at present remains liquidity. As the market begins to trade in synchronized tightening by global central banks, the continued rise in bond yields, and the capital-draining effect brought about by large-scale financing in the AI industry, high-risk assets will face a more rigorous valuation test. Tonight's CPI data not only reflects the inflation level, but may also become a crucial turning point in determining the direction of global asset pricing in the second half of the year.

Bitunix analyst: Shipping in the Hormuz has briefly resumed, but the market's real concern is the "global liquidity shock following the ceasefire's failure."

According to Mars Finance, on May 27th, while the market appeared to be trading on the de-escalation of tensions in the Middle East and the gradual resumption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, underlying anxieties about war, energy, and global liquidity remained. In the past 24 hours, approximately 4 million barrels of unsanctioned crude oil have crossed the Strait of Hormuz again, indicating that some energy transport is beginning to return to normal. However, the ongoing military clashes between the US and Iran near the strait suggest that the current situation remains a highly fragile "limited ceasefire." The biggest issue now is not just whether the war will end, but rather that even if an agreement is reached, the subsequent impact of Middle East risks on global energy, inflation, and interest rates could last for months or even longer. This explains why the market has become increasingly indifferent to news of peace recently. From Iran's demand to unfreeze $24 billion in overseas funds to the US insistence on addressing highly enriched uranium and sanctions, significant differences remain between the core interests of the two sides, and the market remains highly skeptical of a "truly comprehensive reconciliation." On the other hand, although energy prices have recently fallen from their wartime highs, the market has gradually accepted that even if shipping through the Strait of Hormuz resumes, the energy supply chain and inflationary pressures will not immediately return to pre-war levels. Asset performance is beginning to reflect this contradictory sentiment. On the one hand, US AI and technology stocks continue to push up the valuations of risk assets, with Micron's year-to-date gains even exceeding 200%. On the other hand, renewed concerns about gold exports, bauxite controls, and energy supply risks indicate that global supply chain and resource competition are intensifying simultaneously. The market is currently trading on two main themes simultaneously: "AI capital expenditure expansion" and "global resource reflation." In the crypto market, liquidation heatmaps show a large accumulation of short liquidity around 78,000 to 78,200 for BTC, while clear long liquidation zones exist around 75,500 and 74,800. ETH has accumulated significant short liquidity around 2150, while a key short-term support zone has formed around 2050. This indicates that the market is currently in a typical "news-driven + high-leverage game" structure, where any significant fluctuations in the Middle East situation, interest rate expectations, or energy prices could quickly trigger a chain of liquidations. Overall, the biggest risk in the global market right now is not just war itself, but the fact that global assets are simultaneously facing a situation where "high valuations, high interest rates, and high geopolitical risks" coexist.

Bitcoin bullish sentiment was supported by a decline in inflation expectations, with the market focusing on the July CPI data.

According to Mars Finance, the cryptocurrency market continued its stabilizing trend, with Bitcoin rising nearly 7% in the week ending July 5th, marking its strongest weekly performance since March. This surge was primarily driven by declining inflation expectations. The break-even inflation rate, a measure of market inflation expectations, has recently declined significantly, with the two-year indicator falling below 2%, approaching the Federal Reserve's inflation target level, and long-term inflation expectations also weakening. Simultaneously, WTI crude oil prices have fallen in tandem with inflation expectations, dropping to levels similar to those before the geopolitical conflict in February, prompting the market to reassess inflationary pressures, interest rate cut expectations, and the dollar's trajectory. Some analysts believe that a weaker dollar index (DXY) will further reduce resistance to Bitcoin's rise, as the two typically have a negative correlation. However, others caution that service sector inflation remains sticky, and declining oil prices do not necessarily indicate a reversal in the overall inflation trend; monetary policy may continue to maintain a "higher and longer" stance. The next key market juncture is the US June CPI data on July 14th, which could be a crucial catalyst for determining the inflation path and the direction of risk assets.

HTX DeepThink: May CPI hit a more than two-year high, but core inflation's decline provides a buffer for the crypto market.

According to Mars Finance, Chloe (@ChloeTalk1), a columnist for HTX DeepThink and a researcher at HTX Research, analyzed that after the release of the US May CPI data, the crypto market entered a complex phase in the short term characterized by "increasing macroeconomic pressure, but tightening expectations not completely out of control." The overall CPI rose 4.2% year-on-year, the largest increase since April 2023, and rose 0.5% month-on-month, indicating that the energy shock continues to push up inflation. Against the backdrop of blocked tanker passage in the Strait of Hormuz and strained global energy supply chains, energy prices have become the core driver of this round of inflation rebound. Energy inflation rose 3.9% month-on-month and a high 23.5% year-on-year in May, with gasoline prices rising 7% month-on-month. The market is unlikely to escape the trading logic of "geopolitical conflict—rising oil prices—inflation rebound—hawkish Fed" in the short term. However, for the crypto market, the data isn't entirely negative. Core CPI rose only 0.2% month-on-month, lower than the market expectation of 0.3% and significantly lower than the previous value of 0.4%, indicating that the energy shock has not yet largely transmitted to the prices of core services and goods. This is the main reason why the market has lowered its bets on interest rate hikes. Short-term interest rate futures show that a rate hike by the Federal Reserve at next week's meeting is highly unlikely, with only about a 13% probability of a rate hike in July. Major assets such as BTC and ETH have not experienced a sharp sell-off in the short term; on the contrary, they may have received some support due to lower-than-expected core inflation. The current core contradiction lies in the fact that while liquidity expectations have not completely deteriorated, risk appetite remains suppressed by energy inflation and policy uncertainty. If oil prices stabilize in the coming weeks, the market may re-trade the logic of "inflation peaking and a decreased probability of interest rate hikes," and BTC has a chance to maintain high-level fluctuations or even experience a corrective rebound. If the Strait of Hormuz issue continues to worsen and oil prices rise further, the market will reprice the possibility of a more hawkish Fed, and highly leveraged Altcoin and new coins with high FDV will face greater selling pressure. It is worth noting that gold and silver rose after the CPI was released, indicating that the market is still allocating to safe-haven assets rather than fully returning to risk assets. The crypto market is more likely to exhibit a structural market trend: BTC is relatively resilient, ETH fluctuates with macro liquidity, Altcoin continue to diverge, and funds will prioritize assets with real income, strong trading volume, or those related to AI and Perp DEX. Overall, the CPI data did not directly end the cryptocurrency market's rebound, but it was also insufficient to trigger a full-blown bull market. The market's short-term focus will shift to tomorrow's PPI data and Warsh's first Fed meeting a week later. If the Fed's rhetoric shifts from dovish to neutral or even tight, the cryptocurrency market may face renewed pressure; if core inflation continues to improve and oil prices stabilize, a weak recovery is still possible after this correction. Until energy prices and the Fed's statements provide clearer direction, a neutral to cautious stance will likely remain the dominant market theme.

US May CPI may return to the "4" range, with rising energy prices boosting expectations of an interest rate hike this year.

According to Mars Finance, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will release May's CPI data at 8:30 PM Beijing time on June 10th. The market widely expects May's CPI to rise 0.5% month-on-month and 4.2% year-on-year. If this expectation materializes, it will be the first time since May 2023 that the U.S. CPI has climbed back above 4%, reaching its highest level since April 2023. Regarding core CPI, the market expects a 0.3% month-on-month increase and a 2.9% year-on-year increase in May. A significant factor contributing to this round of inflation is considered to be the rapid rise in energy prices against the backdrop of the Iran conflict. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, stated that recent price increases are primarily attributed to government policies, including the U.S.-Iran war. He pointed out that rising gasoline and diesel prices will push up the prices of goods transported, from groceries to Amazon packages, and airlines have already passed on higher aviation fuel costs to passengers. Charles Schwab's chief investment strategist, Liz Ann Sonders, stated that current price pressures are no longer limited to the energy sector but also involve factors such as money supply and AI. She believes that even if the conflict is resolved quickly, oil prices may not return to previous lows because production has already been disrupted. For the Federal Reserve, the upcoming CPI and subsequent PPI data will be crucial references before the June policy meeting. Bond traders have recently increased their bets on interest rate hikes, with some believing the Fed may act as early as September. If the May CPI significantly exceeds expectations, especially if the range of increase widens further, it could strengthen the Fed's policy case for raising interest rates this year.
