As of May 13, 2025, the U.S. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for April is anticipated to show a modest rebound in inflation, influenced by recent tariff increases on Chinese imports.

📈 CPI Expectations:

Headline CPI (Month-over-Month): Expected to rise by 0.2%, following a 0.1% decline in March.

Core CPI (Month-over-Month): Projected to increase by 0.3%, up from 0.1% in the prior month.

Year-over-Year Headline CPI: Anticipated to remain steady at 2.4%.

Year-over-Year Core CPI: Expected to hold at 2.8%.

These projections suggest that while inflation remains relatively contained, the effects of higher tariffs—particularly the increase from 20% to 30% on Chinese goods—are beginning to influence consumer prices, especially in categories like household furnishings .

💹 Impact on Cryptocurrency Market:

The cryptocurrency market has shown sensitivity to macroeconomic indicators like the CPI. Anticipation of the CPI report has contributed to recent market movements:

Ripple (XRP): Trading at $2.52, up 3.70%.
