#CryptoCPIWatch El **Consumer Price Index (CPI)** of the U.S. in March 2025 showed a **year-over-year general inflation of 2.6%** (vs. 2.8% in February) and a monthly increase of **0.1%**, driven by the drop in energy prices. However, **core inflation** (excluding food and energy) remained high: **0.3% month-over-month and 3.0% year-over-year**, affected by tariffs on imported goods such as automobiles and technology.

The **Federal Reserve** monitors this data to decide its rate policy. A high CPI could delay cuts, while a low one would reinforce expectations of stimulus. The market observes risks of **stagflation** due to supply shocks.
