Today’s significance for cryptocurrency traders is substantial. Recent statements from Powell have heightened the importance of PPI data. During two days of testimony before Congress, Powell emphasized the significance of the recent CPI data while noting he will closely monitor PPI figures.
U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) Data
To accurately gauge the trends in PCE data, Powell clarified that they would closely track U.S. PPI figures. This indicates that any unexpected data could lead to greater market volatility. Monitoring producer cost increases is also crucial to understand the potential effects of tariffs on prices, as Trump plans to announce reciprocal tariffs affecting several countries today.
Anticipating Volatility in Cryptocurrency
Once again, a dizzying day is expected with more volatility in cryptocurrencies. What is the current situation with PPI data?
- U.S. PPI Declared: 3.5% (Expectation and Previous: 3.3%)
- U.S. Core PPI Declared: 3.6% (Expectation: 3.3, Previous: 3.5)
The data exceeded expectations, which is not favorable for cryptocurrencies. Powell and Fed officials may start issuing hawkish remarks, combining this with the recent CPI data. There is a risk of deepening declines in cryptocurrencies in the hours ahead.
