#CryptoCPIWatch The upcoming US CPI report is pivotal for financial markets and cryptocurrencies. February’s headline inflation is expected at 2.9% YoY, slightly lower than January’s 3.0%, with core CPI projected at 3.2%. A softer inflation print could prompt the Federal Reserve to consider rate cuts, weakening the USD and boosting risk assets like crypto. Conversely, higher inflation may force the Fed to maintain a restrictive stance, strengthening the dollar and pressuring crypto and stocks. While inflation appears to be cooling, trade policy uncertainties and persistent pressures could challenge market optimism, leading to potential volatility in crypto and traditional assets.
