US CPI Report: Is Inflation Easing or Staying Stubborn? Implications for Markets and Crypto
February’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) is projected to show a 2.9% year-over-year increase, slightly down from January’s 3.0%.
Core CPI, which excludes food and energy, is expected to dip to 3.2% from the previous 3.3%.
The Federal Reserve’s stance on potential rate cuts could be influenced by this CPI release.
Movements in crypto, equity markets, and the US dollar are closely tied to inflation trends.
