September's inflation data just dropped and it's not pretty. The Fed's go-to inflation metric is still running hot while consumer spending shows signs of cooling off. This combo could spell trouble for risk assets—when spending dips but prices stay sticky, central banks get nervous. Worth watching how this plays into rate decisions and broader market sentiment heading into Q4.

I'm an old hand at this. Back in 2018, I got hit hard by that "persistent inflation and weak consumption" combo and still haven't fully recovered... Seeing these signals now makes me nervous, so I quickly cleared out all my altcoins and am holding onto Bitcoin tightly. I really don't dare to go all in anymore.

Hmm... stagflation is coming, spending less but things are still expensive. No wonder the central bank is feeling anxious.

Stagflation is here, and risk assets are probably going to take a hit...

Sticky inflation combined with weak consumer spending—this is definitely a tough combination... Looks like there will be some real drama in Q4.

ngl the sticky inflation whilst demand craters is giving stagflation energy... theoretically speaking this is precisely the scenario where correlations break down and everyone's risk-adjusted portfolios implode. empirically? we've seen this movie before and it's not exactly a blockbuster ending
