The CPI (Consumer Price Index) data released today came slightly favorable for the crypto market, especially benefiting assets like #BTC and #altcoin.
Check out the main highlights:
1. Monthly CPI (April)
Current: 0.2%
Projection: 0.3%
Previous: -0.1%
Result below the projection, signaling lower inflationary pressure than expected.
2. Core Monthly CPI (April)
Current: 0.2%
Projection: 0.3%
Previous: 0.1%
Another positive data point, indicating a moderate pace in underlying inflation.
3. Annual CPI (April)
Current: 2.3%
Projection: 2.4%
Previous: 2.4%
A slight annual decrease, showing progress towards the Fed's 2% target.
This set of data reinforces the perception that inflation is slowing down. If this trend continues, the likelihood of interest rate cuts in the coming months increases — something generally positive for the crypto market.
