The Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) are among the most closely watched inflation reports. The CPI measures the prices consumers pay, while the PPI measures the prices producers receive.

These reports have a strong influence on the U.S. Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions, which in turn affect high-risk assets such as stocks and cryptocurrencies.

In general, inflation in which consumer prices rise very quickly increases the likelihood of interest rate hikes, which usually puts pressure on cryptocurrencies. By contrast, inflation in which prices rise slowly can support them.
