The last two days have been quite eventful for the cryptocurrency market, starting with the anticipation of inflation data and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting which started on Tuesday.
According to the Bureau Of Labor Statistics&nbsp; (LBS), the CPI remained unchanged in May, matching the figure in April. However, the measure increased to 3.3% on an annual basis.
Market watchers had projected for the <a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-price-advances-us-cpi-inflation-cools/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CPI</a> to shoot up in May by 0.1% along with a 3.4% annual rise. As for the core CPI, which excludes the prices of food and energy, considered to be volatile soared 0.2% month-over-month and 3.4% from a year ago. Economists had projected 0.3% and 3.5% core CPI.
The softer CPI report comes on the last day of the FOMC meeting, which may provide insight into the Federal Reserve’s plans for the first rate cut. Nevertheless, investors do not expect a rate cut announcement from the ongoing meeting. Positive notes and remarks from Jerome Powell, the Fed’s chair could shape a bullish outlook for Bitcoin and the crypto market.
