CPI and rate cuts around the corner: ETF to buy?

Recent U.S. economic reports, yen carry trade issues, and global tensions have rocked the stock market. A disappointing July jobs report caused market instability, but a positive update on jobless claims sparked the S&P 500's largest rally in nearly two years. Now, the upcoming release of July's CPI is drawing attention, with potential to cause significant market reactions.

Investors should adjust their strategies based on economic indicators. For example, if CPI growth slows and unemployment slightly rises, suggesting stable inflation and job market, it may lead to a Fed rate cut. Investors could then consider:

(1) Buying bond ETFs like the $iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT.US)$, as rate cuts typically raise bond prices. Selling put options for income and using cash sweeps to increase returns are also strategies to explore.

(2) Investing in cryptocurrency ETFs like the $iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT.US)$, since rate cuts can weaken the dollar and enhance the appeal of safe-haven assets like cryptocurrencies.

For new mooers who want to learn more about ETF to invest smartly, we also have this for you:

An Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) is a type of investment product that owns and manages an underlying basket of assets (equities, bonds, commodities, derivatives, etc.) and divides the ownership of those assets into individual shares. You can buy one share of an ETF and own many stocks, bonds and other investments.

Typically, ETFs passively track a major market index such as the TSX Composite Index. A passive investment mirrors the performance of its benchmark index and delivers those returns, minus a small fee.
