Inflation Rate Slows in August, Foreshadowing Optimistic Prospects for Cryptocurrency Market Rise
Publication Time:2024-09-12 02:41:09
Latest data shows that the annualized overall inflation rate for August recorded 2.5%, down from 2.9% in July, hitting the lowest level since March 2021. This trend suggests that the Federal Reserve may be gradually approaching its 2% inflation target, potentially paving the way for interest rate cuts. Interest rate cuts generally promote economic growth and provide positive impetus for risk assets including Bitcoin and Ethereum, foreshadowing the long-term upward potential of these cryptocurrency markets. Nonetheless, stock market sentiment is still influenced by the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation indicator—the core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) data—which will be released later. However, as one of the key economic indicators, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has already shown a trend of slowing inflation, having a positive impact on the prices of risk assets denominated in US dollars.
