April

<ul>
 <li><strong>April’s CPI data is anticipated to reveal 3.3% to 3.4% inflation rates, surpassing the Fed’s 2% target.</strong></li>
 <li><strong>The cryptocurrency market saw major swings, Bitcoin’s price dropped over 5% in just one week.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Inflation concerns persist as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics gears up to unveil the April Consumer Price Index (CPI) data on May 15. The projections suggest that April’s CPI could range between 3.3% and 3.4%, the figures could amplify worries about inflation running higher than the Federal Reserve’s target goal of 2%.</p>
<p>With inflation persisting above target levels, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is expected to hold off on <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/u-s-federal-reserve-keeps-interest-rate-unchanged/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">interest rate</a> cuts until July or later, delaying monetary policy adjustments to address the inflationary pressures.</p>
