#Q2Update #BinanceSquare | By Kate

The second quarter of 2025 just dropped two major economic surprises — and both are shaking up global markets. From inflation trends to unexpected GDP growth, here’s what you need to know and why it matters for crypto, stocks, and commodities alike. 👇

1. Inflation Is Cooling… But Not Enough

Core PCE Price Index (QoQ):

📉 Actual: 2.5%

🕒 Previous: 3.5%

🎯 Expected: 2.3%

While inflation is clearly slowing, the pace is still higher than expected, keeping the Fed on alert. This means:

➡️ No clear rate cut in sight

➡️ Increased uncertainty for financial markets

➡️ Volatility may persist for crypto traders

2. GDP Comes Roaring Back! 🚀

Real GDP Growth (QoQ):

🚀 Actual: 3.0%

❌ Previous: -0.5%

🎯 Expected: 2.4%

This massive turnaround from negative growth has surprised analysts and investors alike. It signals strong consumer demand and business activity, despite lingering inflation.

➡️ Market optimism is rising

➡️ Risk assets (like crypto) could benefit

➡️ But it complicates the Fed’s decision-making
