Latest data shows that the PPI for fertilizer manufacturing has increased by 17.2% since July last year, and this is just the beginning. Meat prices are also not calming down: retail beef prices surged by 21.6%, and although the increase for chicken is smaller, it still rose by 1.6%. These seemingly unrelated commodity price fluctuations actually point to a key issue—food inflation may be making a comeback. What does this mean for the market? Real interest rates will be suppressed, which directly affects the liquidity allocation of risk assets like Bitcoin. Should you buy the dip or wait and see? The key is to keep an eye on the trend of fertilizer PPI, the price performance of protein commodities, and how the Federal Reserve will respond next.

Beef up 21.6%? Well, that's good news, inflation is knocking again, and my wallet is going to shrink... But on the other hand, isn't this good for Bitcoin? Once real interest rates are lowered, funds will flow into risk assets.

Fertilizer prices up 17%, beef up 21%... Is food inflation coming again? Looks like the Federal Reserve will have to raise interest rates, what should I do about my Bitcoin?

Fertilizer prices up 17%, beef soars 21%... What does this have to do with the crypto world? Basically, it's inflation causing trouble again.

Beef prices have increased by 21.6%, I can't even afford it anymore. What are you thinking about buying the dip in Bitcoin for? First, take care of the grocery basket, brother.
