QCP Capital: Upcoming PPI and CPI Data May Show Upside Risks, Bitcoin Options Market Reflects Caution
QCP Capital’s latest analysis indicates global markets are adjusting to revised expectations around Fed rate cuts. The 10-year Treasury yield surged to 4.8%, the highest since late 2023, with markets now pricing in no cuts before October at the earliest. Equity futures opened down 1.5%, causing Bitcoin to briefly drop below $90,000 before rebounding above $95,000.
QCP Capital expects upcoming PPI and CPI data may carry upside risks. Markets are adapting to the reality of prolonged higher interest rates, with some investors even considering the possibility of further hikes. The Bitcoin options market reflects caution, as traders roll put options below the $90,000 support level. Near-term volatility and butterfly spreads remain elevated, with the VIX index holding at 18.68, suggesting continued market volatility in January.
The report also notes that Trump may sign executive orders on his first day in office addressing "debanking" issues and repealing controversial crypto accounting policies, which could provide positive market catalysts.
