The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for April will be released today, May 13, 2025, at 13:30 UTC (15:30 Kyiv time).
🔍 Market Expectations:
Headline CPI (YoY): Expected at 2.4%, unchanged from March
Core CPI (YoY, excluding food & energy): Also forecasted at 2.8%
These figures may influence future decisions by the Federal Reserve regarding interest rates and could set the tone for broader market sentiment.
📈 Potential Impact on the Crypto Market:
Positive Scenario:
If inflation remains stable or comes in lower than expected, this could fuel hopes of rate cuts later in the year — likely boosting risk assets like crypto.
Negative Scenario:
Higher-than-expected inflation might raise fears of continued tight monetary policy, potentially putting pressure on crypto and equities.
📢 Stay tuned: CPI results often trigger strong market volatility — be prepared and manage risk accordingly.
