Recently, the US inflation data is about to be released again, with an important update on the core PCE price index annual rate at the end of last month. The previous data was 2.8%, and the market expects it to rise to 2.9% this time. Although it only seems like a 0.1% difference, it still has a significant impact on market sentiment.
The core PCE is actually a key indicator measuring inflation in US consumer spending, published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The Federal Open Market Committee has been using it as the main inflation gauge since 2002, so traders always keep an eye on this number.
If the core PCE indeed rises to 2.9%, it could influence the Federal Reserve's upcoming policy direction. Inflation data directly affects risk appetite in the crypto market, so periods around such economic data releases are usually more volatile. Traders should be aware of the risks before and after major economic data is announced.
