#CPI&JoblessClaimsWatch

The *CPI* measures the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a basket of goods and services, reflecting inflation. A higher than expected CPI may suggest rising inflation, which could lead the Federal Reserve to consider increasing interest rates, potentially negatively affecting risk assets like cryptocurrencies.

*Initial Jobless Claims* report the number of individuals who filed for unemployment insurance for the first time. A higher than expected number indicates a weakening labor market, which can have broader economic implications.

Traders and investors closely monitor these releases, as they can significantly influence market sentiment and asset prices, including BTC.
