Markets are now forecasting a 25 bps rate cut probability of 62.5%, compared to 47.5% before the CPI announcement. The milder CPI data led to a brief sharp reaction in the stock and cryptocurrency markets.
The cryptocurrency rally was short-lived as the market fell after the US transferred 10,000 BTC to Coinbase Prime and Jump sold 17,000 ETH. front-end volatility for BTC and ETH fell sharply after the CPI announcement, dropping by around 10 volatility points. Risk reversals also fell further, with ETH and BTC dropping to -8 and -6 volatility points respectively. This suggests that the options market now expects more downward pressure on prices due to new supply.
