#CPIWatch 🟡 CPIWatch — Inflation Still Cooling, But Markets on Alert

The latest inflation data continues to show inflation cooling back toward more normal levels across major economies.

• U.S. CPI recently printed at 2.7% YoY — below expectations and softer than recent prints. 

• Broader OECD inflation has slowed overall, with headline CPI down from 4.2% to ~3.9%. 

• Core prices (excluding food & energy) have also moderated in many regions. 

This matters because inflation readings strongly influence Federal Reserve policy expectations — especially the timing of rate cuts or pauses. When CPI is softer than expected, traders often price in future easing, which historically tends to support risk assets including Bitcoin. 

In crypto specifically:

BTC has shown sensitivity around key CPI releases, often reacting before broader markets as traders position ahead of macro shifts. 

CPIWatch takeaway: inflation is trending lower, but markets remain cautious — watching the next prints for clues about rate policy and liquidity.
