Third-quarter 2025 saw a notable acceleration in unit non-labor costs, marking a significant shift in inflation dynamics. Year-over-year, the pace climbed to +4.4%, reflecting mounting pressure on production expenses beyond wage-driven factors.

This acceleration signals tightening margins across industries and could influence Fed policy trajectories. For crypto markets, rising non-labor inflation often correlates with central bank hawkishness, impacting capital flows into risk assets. Investors tracking macroeconomic indicators should monitor how this cost pressure translates into broader inflation readings—especially relevant when positioning for 2025's final quarter volatility.

ngl, if you look at the data on non-labor costs spiking to +4.4%... that's the fed basically saying "buckle up" to risk assets. margin compression incoming, which means liquidity farming returns are about to get messier. degens are gonna feel this one.

Non-labor costs increased by 4.4%? Now the Federal Reserve will be more hawkish, and our crypto circle is about to get another round of being harvested.
