US CPI Cools, But Will the Fed Blink? Markets at a Crossroads | XRPBTC, ETH Outlook
The latest US CPI report just dropped — headline inflation eased to 2.8%, and core CPI slid to 3.1%. This marks the second consecutive month of cooling, giving bulls a reason to breathe — but not to relax.
Why It Matters:
Markets have priced in 85bps of Fed rate cuts for 2025, but sticky inflation or tariff-induced shocks could change that.
Trump’s trade policy heat-up could reverse disinflation by pressuring imports and reigniting supply-side costs.
Crypto Market Moves (Live Rates):
BTC: $103,667 (-0.27%)
ETH: $2,627 (-2.68%)
XRP: $2.56 (-0.38%)
DOGE: $0.2348 (-1.97%)
SOL: $177.39 (-3.53%)
ADA: $0.80 (-2.68%)
XRP still leads on narrative strength: fast, scalable, low fees — and now with added fuel from regulatory clarity and rising DEX volume on XRPL.
The Setup:
Lower CPI → Sooner rate cuts → USD weakness → Crypto rally
Higher CPI or tariff pressure → Rate cuts delayed → Dollar strength → Risk-off
Big Picture:
Inflation may be cooling, but uncertainty is boiling. Smart money is watching the Fed’s tone, tariff escalations, and bond yields. Your next big trade could be one CPI shock away.
