Inflation fell to 3.4 per cent in the United States: how stocks and encryption markets will react

INFLATION IN THE UNITED STATES DECLINED SLIGHTLY TO 3.4 PER CENT IN JULY 2026. DESPITE THE DECLINE IN THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (CPI), PRICES WERE STILL HIGHER THAN THEY WERE BEFORE THE UNITED STATES-IRAN CONFLICT. CORE INFLATION (EXCLUDING MORE VOLATILE FOOD AND ENERGY PRICES) ROSE BY 0.2 PER CENT. THE ASIAN STOCK MARKET HAS SHOWN SOME SIGNS OF REBOUND ON 14 AUGUST, AND THE UNITED STATES STOCK MARKET HAS SHOWN A SIMILAR PATTERN IN PRE-CARD TRANSACTIONS. INVESTORS MAY BE RELIEVED BY THE DECLINE IN INFLATION DATA, ESPECIALLY THE INCREASE IN PRICE MOVES BY THE TECHNOLOGY UNIT. BY CONTRAST, THERE HAS BEEN NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE ENCRYPTION MARKET, WITH BITCOIN (BTC) STILL TRADED AT A PRICE LEVEL OF $63,000, AND MOST OF THE OTHER ENCRYPTED ASSETS ARE FOLLOWING BITCOIN'S CROSS-ROADS. AS INVESTOR RISK PREFERENCES REMAIN LOW, IT MAY RESULT IN THE FED MAINTAINING INTEREST RATES AT A RATE THAT REMAINS ABOVE THE TARGET OF 2 PER CENT。
