Decrease in Inflation in the USA
On May 13, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics published inflation data for April: the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 0.2% for the month and 2.3% year-over-year. These figures were lower than the forecasted 2.4%, marking the lowest annual inflation rate since February 2021.
Against this backdrop, Bitcoin briefly rose to $103,967 but then returned to around $103,500. Ethereum also showed a slight increase, reaching $2,503. However, the market remains cautious.
The Federal Reserve is in no hurry to lower interest rates, keeping them at 4.25%–4.50%. President Donald Trump is calling for a reduction in light of a temporary trade truce with China.
Analysts warn that the impact of tariffs on inflation may manifest with a delay, and current data does not guarantee a sustainable trend. Investors are awaiting data on Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) and the minutes from the Fed's meeting to understand the regulator's next steps.
