COINOTAG News, December 9: The U.S. Department of Labor announced a scheduling change for inflation indicators, stating that the October PPI data will not be released on the usual timetable and will instead be incorporated into the November PPI report. This consolidation could shift near-term inflation expectations and alter market pricing for the Federal Reserve’s policy trajectory, with potential spillovers across risk assets, including digital assets.

While the immediate macro read remains credible, crypto traders should discount any short-term volatility until the revised November release provides a clearer signal. In practice, the consolidated PPI read may influence risk sentiment, asset correlations, and hedging considerations. Market participants should cross-check the revised schedule against the Fed outlook and maintain disciplined risk management across portfolios, including crypto markets exposure.
