2. Crypto Market Pullback Amid Inflation Data and Trade Uncertainty
- On June 11, the crypto market experienced a pullback influenced by U.S. inflation data and trade negotiations (Source: FXLeaders).
- The U.S. inflation rate for May was 2.4%, with a monthly increase of 0.1%, lower than expected, but the market reacted negatively, causing Bitcoin to drop to around $108,300, with some altcoins falling by up to 5%.
- A temporary ceasefire in U.S.-China trade negotiations briefly boosted the market, but subsequent pullbacks indicate complex market sentiment.
Impact Analysis:
Although the inflation data is favorable for risk assets, the uncertainty brought by trade negotiations has intensified market volatility. Overall, the market swings between positive and risk factors, with short-term pullbacks, but the long-term trend still requires observation.
Regardless of market fluctuations, remember to remain rational, manage risks effectively, and don't let emotions dictate your investment decisions.
