<p>Ahead of the report, Bitcoin’s price <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/news/bitcoin-price-near-58000-ahead-of-todays-us-cpi-report/">recorded intense volatility</a>, as traders were expecting that the inflation numbers could solidify expectations for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in the coming months.</p> 
<h2 id="a-lower-than-expected-cpi-june-data">A Lower-Than-Expected CPI June Data</h2> 
<p>Traders were eagerly waiting for the <a href="https://www.bls.gov/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">US inflation report</a> for last month, which came in cooler compared to analysts’ expectations.</p> 
<p>The US Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed today that the unadjusted annual core CPI rate for June was 3.3%, below the market expectations of 3.4%. This is the lowest level since April 2021.</p> 
<p>Also, the seasonally adjusted monthly core CPI rate for June was 0.1%, below the market expectation of 0.2%, marking the lowest level since August 2021.</p> 
<p>Besides the short rally in the crypto market, stock futures also climbed following the report which showed an eased inflation that exceeded economists’ expectations.</p> 
<p>According to the latest data, the Nasdaq Composite rose by 1.18% and the NYSE Composite increased by 0.92% in pre-market trading.</p> 
<h2 id="chances-of-a-rate-cut-in-september-surge">Chances of a Rate Cut in September Surge</h2> 
<p>Bitfinex Head of Derivatives Jag Kooner said that today’s lower-than-expected CPI data signals a more significant slowdown in inflation. This could reportedly reinforce the market’s expectation of a rate cut in September.</p> 
<p>Also, according to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">tool</a>, interest rate traders have increased the chances that the US will see a rate cut in the near future.</p> 
<p>Chances surged from 68.1% before the reading of the latest CPI data to 81.3% after the report came out.</p>
