On May 12, the core change in the market is no longer just whether the situation in Iran will escalate, but rather that energy shocks are beginning to trigger a chain reaction with the structure of inflation in the U.S., the transition of power within the Federal Reserve, and global demand for safe-haven assets. The risks in the Strait of Hormuz have not been alleviated, as Iran refuses to abandon uranium enrichment, while the U.S. continues to signal the possibility of resuming military action, keeping crude oil and gasoline prices elevated. In this context, the U.S. April CPI data is viewed by the market as a critical turning point, as this is not merely a case of energy-driven inflation, but the market is starting to worry whether high oil prices will spread again to housing, services, and the overall core price system. Currently, the market estimates that the year-on-year increase in the overall U.S. CPI for April may rise to 3.7%, reaching a nearly three-year high, while the core CPI may also rebound to 2.7%. The most concerning aspect is not energy itself, but the potential resurgence of housing inflation due to statistical revisions and renewed rental prices, which could further weaken the main support for the cooling of U.S. inflation over the past two years. If housing and energy create dual pressure simultaneously, market expectations for the Fed to cut interest rates by the end of the year will continue to be pushed back, and the possibility of maintaining high interest rates for a longer period may be repriced. Meanwhile, the power structure of the Federal Reserve is entering a sensitive phase. Waller has crossed the Senate procedural hurdle and may officially take over as Fed Chair as early as this week, coinciding with a time when energy inflation is re-accelerating, the White House is continuously pressuring for rate cuts, and internal divisions within the Fed are intensifying. The market is concerned that if oil prices remain high in the coming months, the Fed will be forced to maintain an extremely passive policy stance between 'anti-inflation' and 'political pressure', leading to a continued tightening of the dollar liquidity environment. In the cryptocurrency market, while BTC has recently remained in a high-level fluctuation, the market structure has gradually shifted from 'liquidity-driven' to 'risk repricing'. If tonight's CPI exceeds expectations, the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields may strengthen again, suppressing market risk appetite and potentially slowing the upward momentum for BTC; conversely, if core inflation does not show significant signs of losing control, it may help sustain market expectations for a potential loosening of liquidity within the year. The current focus for the market is no longer just whether the Fed will cut rates, but whether the world is re-entering a new phase of 'structural high inflation era' driven by energy, geopolitical factors, and supply chains.
