Odaily reports that Goldman Sachs economist Alexandra Wilson-Elizondo said: "Today's CPI was largely in line with expectations, ostensibly the result investors were hoping for, but it does raise the stakes for next week's rate decision. The challenge is that the data does not fully reflect some of the recent inflationary pressures, and there is little evidence that inflation is returning to target in the near term. The survey period for this report predates the latest round of energy price increases, and also predates the broadening of the commodity rally from energy into metals and agriculture. Today's inflation data does not eliminate the possibility of stronger price pressures ahead.

In summary, today's in-line data will allow the Fed to keep the rate hike option on the table without being forced to act, so the market may next focus more on Warsh's communications, energy prices, labor market data, and what happens next, rather than on what was released today."

Odaily News: The Yemeni Houthi Armed Forces issued a statement claiming that on September 3 of this year, they launched large-scale military operations on multiple fronts aimed at expelling Saudi forces from parts of the western coast. The operations achieved the following results:

Second: 7 Saudi enemy military formations were struck, involving a total of 38 military brigades.

Third: A group of our personnel who had been detained for many years by Saudi enemy mercenaries were freed. Fourth: The armed forces carried out a total of 32 operations to intercept Saudi warplanes and shot down 9 aircraft. The Yemeni Houthi Armed Forces reiterated that maritime navigation is safe for all companies except Saudi vessels. They will continue to uphold the policy of "blockade for blockade," striking Saudi enemy forces and responding to escalation with escalation until the aggression stops and the blockade is lifted.

Odaily News: Well-known trader Bonk Guy responded on X to the STONK community's questioning of his purchase of EMBER, saying that some community members believed his buying another Launchpad token meant he was trying to challenge STONK's industry position, a reaction he called "extremely exaggerated." He pointed out that STONK's second-largest holder had previously bought EMBER at a $2.8 million market cap and remained bullish for several days without being questioned, while after he bought EMBER at a valuation about 6 times that holder's entry price, he was treated as "the villain," which clearly reflects a double standard.

Bonk Guy emphasized that he remains bullish on STONK and had publicly praised STONK even when he held no position, with that post now having over 400,000 views. He said that support for STONK from core teams in the Solana ecosystem is one of the biggest reasons he shifted back to a bullish outlook after being broadly bearish on the Solana ecosystem for months prior, and he believes that if one is bullish on STONK's long-term vision, this pullback caused by community controversy may instead be a buying opportunity.

Bonk Guy said he has long mainly traded low-market-cap projects because he believes such assets offer a better risk-reward ratio, and he rarely buys large-market-cap tokens even when he is bullish on their future performance. He also said that his purchase of EMBER had no "PvP" (player versus player competition) intent, that STONK and EMBER can absolutely succeed at the same time, and that the view that "only one winner can exist in a sector" actually goes against the essence of the crypto industry.

Bonk Guy also said that the STONK community's strong reaction this time actually demonstrates its community cohesion, and that competition and multiple projects winning together are good for the industry.

Odaily News: After the latest CPI inflation data was released, the market further increased its bets on Friday that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates at next week's meeting. Data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that U.S. core CPI rose 0.3% month-over-month in August, higher than economists' expectation of 0.2%. Currently, market pricing indicates that the probability of the Fed raising rates by 25 basis points at its September 15-16 meeting is about 85%, compared with about 70% before the inflation data was released.

Odaily reports that due to gasoline costs rebounding after two consecutive months of decline, US consumer prices accelerated in August, reinforcing financial market expectations that the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates next week. The US Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics said on Friday that the consumer price index rose 0.4% month-over-month last month, following a modest 0.1% increase in July. Over the 12 months through August, consumer inflation rose 3.4%, unchanged from July's increase.

Thursday's data had already shown that the August producer price index rose, with several key components posting strong gains, and these components feed into the calculation of PCE inflation. This, combined with last week's strong August employment report, further boosted market expectations for a rate hike next week. After the release of the US August CPI data, the market estimated the probability of a Fed rate hike next week at about 90%.
