#CPI&JoblessClaimsWatch $ETH Update – Why ETH Still Leads the Pack
As I’ve said before, Ethereum ($ETH) continues to show more long-term potential than any other crypto out there. The returns could be huge—and here’s why now might be a key moment.
Fed Still Considering Interest Rate Cuts
Despite recent market turbulence and new trade tariffs, the U.S. Federal Reserve has left the door open for possible interest rate cuts later this year. But this depends on two things: inflation staying low and the economy remaining stable.
In March, U.S. prices actually dipped—marking the first time in years. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) dropped to 2.4%, its lowest since the pandemic. Meanwhile, the Producer Price Index (PPI)—which tracks wholesale prices—fell 0.4% in March, driven by big declines in gas and egg prices. This shows inflation is easing not just for consumers, but also for businesses.
Still, caution remains. With new tariffs in play, some Fed officials are hesitant. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee mentioned they’re taking a “wait and see” stance due to the risk of stagflation—when prices rise while the economy slows.
Another Fed member, Chris Waller, also says rate cuts are on the table—but only if inflation stays under control. If tariffs don’t spike prices, his outlook won’t change.
Right now, the Fed is walking a fine line between keeping inflation in check and supporting economic growth. Their next move will depend on how the situation evolves.
What This Means for Crypto
Interest rates have a direct effect on the crypto market’s performance. So, anyone invested in ETH or other digital assets should pay close attention to inflation trends and the ongoing trade war.
