On September 11, #美国8月通胀维持3.4% 2026, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released the latest data showing that CPI in August rose 3.4% year over year, unchanged from July.
The elevated inflation was mainly driven by a sharp rebound in energy prices, with gasoline prices jumping 3.9% month over month and contributing more than one-third of the increase. At the same time, housing and services inflation remained resilient, compounded by concerns over crude oil supply triggered by tensions in the Middle East. After the data was released, expectations for a Fed rate hike in September surged.
Expectations of macro tightening have put pressure on the crypto market. In the short term, tighter liquidity is weighing on risk appetite, and the outlook for major coins such as BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, and ZEC is bearish 📉. But in the long term, fiat currency depreciation and sticky inflation will strengthen crypto assets’ censorship resistance and value-preservation properties, so the long-term outlook remains bullish 📈.
