🔥 Markets Recoil: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Stumble as PPI Inflation Scorches Forecasts

Wall Street got a reality check today as producer prices roared past expectations—sending stocks into retreat mode. Here’s the damage.

### The Inflation Gut Punch

PPI data just dropped like a mic at a central banker’s funeral. Hotter than a Solana validator in July, the numbers sent traditional markets scrambling.

### Blue Chips Bleed

The Dow Jones? Down. S&P 500? Sliding. Nasdaq? Not faring any better. Turns out ‘transitory’ inflation has the staying power of a Bitcoin maximalist at an Ethereum conference.

### Crypto’s Silver Lining

While TradFi panics, decentralized assets smirk. Another day, another reminder why hard-capped supplies beat printer-happy fiat regimes. (Cue the ‘number go up’ technology crowd.)

Closing thought: Maybe Powell should’ve hodl’d those rate cuts a little longer. Just saying.
