The reported figure indicates that inflation has been decreasing for the third consecutive month, as it was 2.4% in March. On a monthly basis, the CPI increased by 0.2%, primarily due to rising energy prices. According to information published by CNBC, this monthly figure met expectations, while the annual figure turned out to be lower than anticipated.
Bitcoin’s Reaction to the News
Bitcoin reacted to this news with moderate growth: the asset is trading with gains on both the daily (0.89%) and weekly (9.5%) charts. According to the BTC/USDT rate on the Binance exchange, this indicates positive market dynamics.
Impact of Trade Relations
It is likely that expectations of a “thaw” in the trade war between the US and China are affecting Bitcoin, as well as the market as a whole. Previously, the parties agreed to a 90-day pause, during which tariffs were reduced by a total of 115%.
“This is a new low since February 2021.”
