-Japan's annual inflation rate eased to 2.7% in August 2025 from 3.1% in the previous month,
marking the lowest reading since October 2024.
Electricity prices fell much steeper (-7.0% vs -0.7% in July) due to government subsidies, and gas prices dropped (-2.7%) after being flat previously.
Education costs also continued to drop (-5.6% vs -5.6%). Price growth slowed for household items (2.0% vs 2.5%), healthcare (1.3% vs 1.5%), and recreation (2.3% vs 2.6%).
Inflation accelerated for housing (1.1% vs 1.0%), clothing (2.9% vs 2.8%), transport (3.0% vs 2.6%), communications (7.0% vs 6.4%), and miscellaneous goods (1.3% vs 1.2%).
On the food side, prices rose 7.2%, easing from July’s five-month peak of 7.6%, driven by the smallest gain in rice prices in eight months at 69.7%, amid Tokyo’s efforts to curb staple food costs. Core inflation also stood at 2.7%, matching market consensus and reaching a nine-month low.
Monthly, the CPI edged up 0.1%, holding steady for the third straight month.

$CNIRYY - China CPI (August/2025)ECONOMICS:CNIRYY
August/2025
source: National Bureau of Statistics of China
- China’s consumer prices dropped 0.4% yoy in August 2025, after being flat in the previous month and missing market expectations of a 0.2% fall.
It was the fifth time of consumer deflation this year and the sharpest pace since February.
Food prices slumped (-4.3% vs -1.6% in July), logging the steepest fall in nearly four years, with broad-based decreases across categories and a sharper drop in pork prices, due to ample supply, lower production costs, and weak demand.
In contrast, non-food inflation quickened (0.5% vs 0.3%), supported by Beijing’s ongoing consumer goods subsidies, with increases in housing (0.1% vs 0.1%), clothing (1.8% vs 1.7%), healthcare (0.9% vs 0.5%), and education (1.0% vs 0.9%).
Meanwhile, transport costs shrank but at a slower pace (-2.4% vs -3.1%). Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, rose 0.9% yoy, the highest in 18 months, after a 0.8% gain in July.
On a monthly basis, CPI was flat, below forecasts of 0.1%, following a 0.4% increase in July.
ES (SPX) Analyses for Thu, Sep 11 (CPI day)What matters tomorrow (fundamentals)
CPI (Aug) at 8:30 ET — the BLS schedule shows the August CPI release Thu Sep 11, 08:30 ET. This is the day’s primary driver.
Weekly Initial Jobless Claims at 8:30 ET — standard Thursday release; calendars show the event scheduled for Sep 11 at 08:30 ET.
Treasury 30-yr bond auction — $22B long-bond sale Thursday (typically 13:00 ET). This can move yields into the NY afternoon and spill into equities.
Context into the print: PPI (Aug) was released today (Sep 10); YoY +2.6% per data trackers/BLS release, keeping focus on CPI for confirmation. Markets are leaning toward a Fed cut at next week’s meeting.
I’m using your 1D / 4H / 1H.
Trend: Uptrend intact on 1D; price sits just beneath a “weak-high / premium” supply band. (1D shows fib extensions near ~6705 (1.272) and ~6799 (1.618) as far targets, not base-case for tomorrow.)
4H: Recent push into a red supply band then pullback; mid-range equilibrium roughly ~6,44x–6,45x.
1H: Resistance zone ~6,558–6,565 (your “Weak High” band). Prior highs around ~6,536–6,540 act as local pivot/PMH; below that, demand/discount blocks stack ~6,50x → 6,46x–6,44x.
Scenario A — Disinflationary/soft CPI (yields down)
Likely path: Early sell-side sweep into 6,51x → 6,49x discount → bullish MSS.
Entry: Buy the 1–5m PD-array in discount after displacement.
Targets: 6,536–6,540 → 6,558–6,565 (weak-high). Leave runner toward 6,57x–6,58x only if order-flow stays bid.
Invalidation: 1–5m structure loses 6,49x and cannot reclaim.
Scenario B — Hot CPI (yields up)
Likely path: Buy-side sweep through 6,558–6,565 → failure → bearish MSS back below the band.
Entry: Short premium PD-array after displacement down.
Targets: 6,536–6,540 → 6,51x, stretch 6,49x then 6,46x–6,44x if momentum accelerates.
Invalidation: Acceptance back above 6,565 with bullish structure.
Projections:
ES futures are anticipated to respond within a 5-15 minute window following the 8:30 AM release, with intraday movements likely intensified by algorithmic trading and stop-hunting activities. Historical analysis of the past 6 CPI events indicates an average end-of-day ES move of approximately +0.76% in response to ±0.1% deviations from forecasts. The prevailing volatility suggests that implied moves, derived from options data, are forecasting a swing of around 0.5-1% (equivalent to ±30-60 points from current levels), though actual market responses have been known to exceed these expectations in the event of surprises.
In the pre-release phase, spanning overnight to pre-market hours (approximately 4:00-9:30 AM ET), market participants are likely to observe a consolidation or mild upward bias within a range of 6480-6575, building upon today’s record highs. The light trading volume may lead to false breakouts around critical levels. Traders are currently positioning for a "failed breakdown" pattern, wherein an initial dip below recent lows could trigger stop-loss orders, followed by a swift reversal higher if market sentiment remains intact.
As the clock strikes 8:30 AM ET, high volatility is expected, with the potential for a 20-40 point gap open or sharp spike. A common occurrence is an initial downside flush aimed at testing liquidity (for instance, dipping below 6500) before a definitive market direction is established. Whipsaw action is likely as news headlines emerge, with particular focus on the core CPI data, which will be pivotal for determining sustained market trends.
Good Luck Everyone!

- Japan’s annual inflation rate eased to 3.1% in July 2025 from 3.3% in June, the lowest since November 2024.
The moderation was driven by falling electricity prices and flat gas costs, which helped offset a faster rise in food prices, largely fueled by surging rice costs. Core inflation also stood at 3.1%, in line with the headline rate but slightly above market expectations of 3.0%.

- The UK’s annual inflation rate rose to 3.8% in July 2025 from 3.6% in June,
the highest since January 2024 and slightly above forecasts of 3.7%.
The uptick was led by higher transport costs linked to school summer holidays, with additional pressure from motor fuels, restaurants and hotels, and food and non-alcoholic beverages.
On a monthly basis, CPI rose 0.1%,
defying forecasts of a 0.1% decline but slowing from June’s 0.3% gain.
Core inflation inched up to 3.8% from 3.7%.
EURGBP shorts due to higher than expected UK CPI y/y readingThe most recent UK Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for July 2025 indicates an annual inflation rate of 3.8%, an increase from 3.6% in June 2025, marking the highest level in 18 months. Key drivers include rising transport costs and food inflation hitting a 16-month peak. Core CPI, excluding volatile food and energy prices, climbed to 3.7% from 3.5% in May 2025. The CPI index stood at 138.90 points in June 2025, up from 138.40 points in May.
As a result of the above date, we expect the EUR to weaken against GBP.
USDCAD potentail longs due to weaker than expected CAD CPI y/y The Canadian Consumer Price Index (CPI) for July 2025 showed a year-over-year (YoY) increase of 1.7%, down from 1.9% in June 2025 and below the forecast of 1.8%. The decline in headline inflation was largely due to falling gasoline prices, though food and shelter costs continued to push inflation higher.
Due to the weaker-than-expected economic data, we expect the CAD to weaken against the USD.
CPI Relief Sparks Crypto Rally The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released the July 2025 CPI and Real Earnings reports today at 8:30 AM ET. The data came in exactly as markets expected, no hotter than expected inflation and sparking a risk-on rally across the market, while the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) dropped sharply.
Key Data Points:
CPI (Headline): +0.3% m/m, +2.9% y/y (June was +2.7% y/y)
Core CPI (ex-food, energy): +0.2% m/m, +3.2% y/y (stable from June)
Energy: +2.1% m/m — Gasoline +3.3%
Food: +0.2% m/m
Shelter: +0.4% m/m (still the largest inflation contributor)
Real Avg Hourly Earnings: +0.1% m/m, +1.1% y/y
Real Avg Weekly Earnings: +0.3% m/m, +0.7% y/y
Market Reaction:
The release of the July 2025 CPI and Real Earnings data triggered an immediate and decisive move in financial markets. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) saw a sharp and rapid decline within minutes of the announcement, reflecting a shift away from safe-haven demand. This was largely because inflation came in exactly as expected, avoiding the “hot” surprise that could have reignited fears of further aggressive Fed action. Equity futures jumped, and crypto markets reacted almost instantly, with BTC, ETH, and SOL showing strong green candles on the 1-hour chart.
The drop in DXY removed a major headwind for risk assets, as a weaker dollar often correlates with stronger performance in crypto. The reaction also suggests that traders were positioned defensively ahead of the release and quickly moved capital back into higher-risk assets when no negative surprise was observed.
The post-CPI order flow also hints that macro traders are linking USD weakness directly to crypto strength in this environment. While the momentum is positive in the short term, it’s worth noting that the Fed will remain cautious, especially with shelter inflation still contributing heavily to the overall CPI.
Currently BTC is moving around $119,900 (~1.2% since CPI release) while ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB are 3.74%, 3.22%, 1.55% and 2.41% respectively at the time of writing.

AUDUSD has been difficult to trade, as it chops its slow grind upwards. Then last, although the week's trading range was small, the Weekly candle closed as a bearish Inside Bar. This, as price made contact with a -FVG! The scenario could be laying the ground work for a new bearish leg to form.
Couple the above with an interest rate cut coming Tuesday for the AUD, and August being a historically bad month for the aussie, things could get real interesting for sellers next week.
