#CryptoCPIWatch
The U.S. February CPI report is expected to show slight cooling in inflation (headline CPI at 2.9% YoY, core at 3.2%). This data could influence the Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rate cuts, with lower inflation supporting rate cuts and higher inflation delaying them. Crypto and stock markets remain volatile and closely tied to these expectations. Bitcoin trades at $82,185, down 25% from its peak, while Ethereum is at $1,889. Trump’s trade tariffs could reignite inflation risks, adding uncertainty. Overall, markets await the CPI release as a key driver of upcoming volatility.
