Cryptocurrencies retreat, Bitcoin falls as U.S. inflation data awaited
Cryptocurrency prices fell during Tuesday’s trading,
and Bitcoin dropped below $73,000,
amid investor caution ahead of the release of U.S. inflation data, which could offer new indications about the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy direction and the path of interest rates in the coming period.
Comments from U.S. central bank officials heightened the anticipation. Tom Barkin, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, urged caution in determining the path of interest rates, noting that inflation remains the greatest risk and that he has no clear baseline view on the appropriate decision at the December meeting.
These comments reflect continued uncertainty about the Fed’s next move, as markets closely monitor price indicators to assess whether tight monetary policy needs to remain in place or be adjusted.
According to CME Group’s FedWatch tool, traders see an 84% chance of a U.S. interest rate hike at the December meeting, reflecting continued concerns about inflationary pressures and their impact on central bank decisions.
