BTC Price Dropped Following CPI Report
Reuters press agency reported that the US consumer prices increased by the most in almost one – one and a half years in January. Americans face higher costs for a range of goods and services, reinforcing the Fed’s message that it is in no rush to cut interest rates the next month. The next FOMC meeting is scheduled for March 19.
The US January consumer prices rose by 0.5% MoM, higher than expectations of 0.3%, reaching 3% YoY – higher than estimations of 2.9%.
The US January Core CPI rose by 0.4% MoM, higher than the 0.3% estimations, reaching 3.3% YoY, higher than economists expectations of 3.1%.
According to Reuters , the hotter-than-expected data revealed by the Labor Dept. was likely due to businesses rising prices at the start of the year, evident in a record surge in the cost of prescription medication and a rise in motor vehicle insurance.
