The latest US CPI data has just been released, and this time the numbers are quite interesting.

On a month-over-month basis, the CPI increased by 0.3%, exactly in line with market expectations. The core CPI was 0.2%, slightly below the expected 0.3%—this indicates that inflationary pressures excluding food and energy are easing.

Looking at the year-over-year data, the CPI remains at 2.7%, in line with expectations; the core CPI is also at 2.6%, one percentage point lower than the expected 2.7%. This suggests that while inflation is still present, the tense situation is gradually loosening.

For the crypto market, this set of data sends a key signal: price increases are stabilizing, which will influence the central bank's subsequent policy pace. Weakening inflation data may boost expectations of rate cuts, which is generally good news for risk assets—including cryptocurrencies. However, since there were no significant surprises in the data, the market should digest it relatively smoothly.

Core CPI beats expectations, and the rate cut anticipation is rising again? However, this wave of market movement seems to need some time to digest, so don't be too optimistic everyone.

Core CPI is below expectations again, and the expectation of interest rate cuts is really coming back. The crypto world should celebrate.

Core CPI is below expectations, and the possibility of interest rate cuts has really increased. This is a positive for us. Just don't get too excited too early; if we digest it steadily, there might not be a big market move.
