The Labor Department report published on Wednesday showed that the cost of living, measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), rose by 0.1% last month after an increase of 0.2% in April. Economists surveyed by Reuters had forecasted an increase of 0.2%.

It is worth noting that the CPI for durable goods, most of which are imported or made from imported materials, fell by 0.1% when seasonally adjusted on a monthly basis (-1.3% on a yearly basis), indicating that President Donald Trump's tariffs have not yet been fully passed on to the end consumer.

The annual CPI rate increased by 2.4%, and core inflation stood at 2.8%, remaining at April's level.

As macroeconomic transparency improves, we should see an acceleration of Bitcoin flows – driven by renewed institutional confidence, increased Bitcoin treasury activity, and ongoing implementation of Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) programs at the state level. This momentum could boost ETF inflows and strengthen Bitcoin's evolving role in global portfolios.
