Crypto markets have consolidated over the weekend with minor gains for the major assets, but no signs of renewed bullish momentum just yet.\u00a0Despite the US government shutdown, the week ahead has a key inflation report delayed from September that is likely the last major piece of economic data the Federal Reserve will receive before its interest rate decision next week.<\/p>\n

Last week, Fed Chair Jerome Powell indicated that the central bank remains on track to cut short-term interest rates again at its next meeting later this month.\u00a0Meanwhile, the market will continue to watch Trump\u2019s 100% tariff on China deadline of November 1, as observed in the Kobeissi Letter.<\/p>\n

Economic Events Oct. 20 to 24<\/h2>\n

Thursday will see the release of existing home sales data, but this has no impact on crypto markets.\u00a0The big data day is Friday\u2019s release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for September, delayed by the government shutdown.<\/p>\n

Not only is the CPI report five days before the October 29 Fed meeting, but it is the first time CPI data will be reported on a Friday since January 2018, according<\/a> to the Kobeissi Letter.\u00a0The Labor Department has said that no other releases will be rescheduled or produced until the shutdown ends, it added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis comes during a highly pivotal time for the Fed as they debate whether to continue rate cuts or not.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

October\u2019s services PMI report and Michigan Consumer Sentiment data are also due on Friday.<\/p>\n
