#usjulycpieasesliftingfedrateholdbets #AlphaFamily u.s. inflation eased slightly in july, with consumer prices rising 0.1% month over month after falling 0.4% in june. annual cpi inflation slowed to 3.4% from 3.5%, while core cpi increased 0.2% monthly and 2.5% year over year. the softer inflation data has reduced expectations for another federal reserve rate hike in september. markets are increasingly leaning toward the fed holding rates steady, although inflation remains above the central bank’s 2% target and policymakers are likely to remain cautious. for financial markets, a rate hold could support risk assets by reducing fears of tighter monetary policy. stocks and bonds reacted positively to the report, while a weaker dollar could also provide support for bitcoin and other crypto assets. however, the inflation picture is not completely clear. energy prices helped keep july’s headline reading low, while housing and some services continue to put upward pressure on prices. another inflation report will arrive before the fed’s september meeting, making the next data release particularly important. $APR $BR $KAITO
