#CryptoCPIWatch The upcoming US CPI report could reveal whether inflation is genuinely cooling or if persistent pressures remain. Analysts expect a slight drop in headline inflation to 2.9% YoY (from 3.0%) and core CPI to 3.2% (from 3.3%), suggesting gradual easing. A softer print might prompt the Federal Reserve to consider rate cuts as early as mid-2025, weakening the USD and boosting risk assets, including crypto. However, if inflation exceeds forecasts, the Fed could maintain a hawkish stance, strengthening the USD and pressuring crypto markets. Trump’s trade policies add uncertainty, as tariffs could counter cooling trends and fuel inflation.
