Wholesale inflation raised September rate-hike odds
XRP was swept into a larger market decline following the release of the September 10, 2026 Producer Price Index (PPI), which indicated a 5.4% year-on-year rise in wholesale prices. Meanwhile, oil prices soared to their highest rates in months due to renewed tensions in the Iran conflict, pushing Brent crude to $107 per barrel.
Market expectations for a rate hike from the Federal Reserve surged to 70%, up from 62%, according to FedWatch data.
No Ripple-specific catalyst
Although there are no XRP-specific updates to account for the decline, the significant rise in anticipated rate hikes serves as a considerable negative force. As interest rates increase, investors often shift from higher-risk assets like XRP to safer options such as bonds.
It’s plausible that this trend will persist, and further rate hikes could occur if oil prices do not stabilize. Nevertheless, I still have my reservations about XRP in the long run.
