Kaj je Poppin?

by Juan Aranovich

As per a new press release by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the consumer price index (CPI) povečal 8.5% in July from a year ago, whereas core CPI, which excludes food and energy, remained at 5.9%

Inflation turned out to be lower than expected, as analysts’ estimates were put at 8.7%. The markets took this number as great news and crypto prices jumped significantly. The total crypto market cap increased by $40 billion yesterday. The two biggest cryptos, BTC and ETH, were up 6% to $24,300 and 12% to almost $1,900 respectively.

ETH outperformed BTC by more than a 3x factor yesterday. With the Merge coming, it looks like ETH investors are more confident than ever. “Ethereum is my highest conviction trade at the moment. I think the enthusiasm that the Merge is happening will continue to draw money into Ethereum,” je dejal Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital, on CNBC. “The stage is set for a move to ~2k region by end of week,” Napisal Hal Press, ustanovitelj podjetja North Rock Digital.

U.S. inflation slowed during July mainly due to energy costs dropping. This was seen as good news by the markets because this report will be weighed by the Federal Reserve, along with other macroeconomic data, to decide how much it will raise the interest rates in the September meeting.

With inflation coming in lower than expected, the Fed may imply that the markets don’t need such a high hike in interest rates. Consequently, money would be cheaper, and all risk-on assets benefit in such a scenario.

If you want to better understand how inflation affects crypto, listen to this highly educational episode with Lyn Alden and Mauricio Di Bartolomeo.

Coinbase was one of the major winners of the day. Its zaloge, which was down heavily two days ago after reporting a $1.1 billion off in the second quarter of the year, was up 7.37% yesterday.
