BTC prices remain stable as investors seem to have shaken off inflation concerns, especially after the latest US CPI data was released. It is worth noting that market participants eagerly await US CPI data, especially the recent US PPI data showing a surge in inflation that exceeded expectations.
Recent data from the US Department of Labor showed that the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.3% in April, lower than the market's expectation of 0.4%. It is worth noting that the CPI increase was the same as the previous month. As a core data to understand the inflation level, the unadjusted US CPI rose 3.4% year-on-year, in line with market expectations.
