Eurozone December Consumer Price Index preliminary figures released. Overall CPI year-on-year increased by 2%, in line with market expectations; core CPI (excluding energy and food) rose by 2.3% year-on-year, below the expected 2.4%.

The signals conveyed by this set of data are worth noting — the sharper-than-expected slowdown in core inflation suggests that inflationary pressures in Europe are easing. For investors paying attention to central bank policy trends, the direction of inflation data often indicates the next step in interest rate decisions, which in turn affects the liquidity environment for risk assets. Changes in the Eurozone's price trends will also indirectly influence the global macro asset allocation landscape, including the relative attractiveness of digital assets.

Core inflation isn't as bad as expected, and Europe might really cut interest rates... This isn't good news for stablecoins and low-volatility assets.

Core inflation falls below expectations, now the Eurozone Central Bank has to consider interest rate cuts... Speaking of which, if they actually cut, the liquidity environment in the crypto circle will have to be reconsidered.

Core CPI below expectations, is the European Central Bank considering cutting interest rates again? It seems like all inflation has been decreasing recently.

Core CPI 2.3% vs expected 2.4%, but… it depends on subsequent data series; single-month fluctuations are of limited significance. On an hourly basis, a 0.1% drop can't really change much; if they really cut interest rates, I’ll reconsider. The historic low hasn't been reached yet, let's wait a bit longer. Data shows pressure easing, but miners are consuming too much, and liquidity environment remains tight. A 0.1 percentage point increase can boost the attractiveness of digital assets? That logic doesn't quite add up. A better-than-expected decline sounds good, but observing the pattern — every time it’s said like this, the opposite tends to happen. Central bank actions are nothing more than cutting rates or maintaining them; the crypto market will still fall as it pleases, no need to talk nonsense. Inflation easing is easing, but unreasonable mechanisms are still there. The Eurozone situation, feels like it has little to do with us… just watch your own Gas fees. Global macro allocation patterns… to put it nicely, what’s destined to collapse will eventually have to be recognized.

Core inflation is below expectations. Does this mean the European Central Bank needs to consider a soft landing... Should interest rates be lowered again?

Core inflation has dropped so much, is the European Central Bank about to start loosening? This could be a positive signal for BTC.

Core inflation has come down. Is Europe about to enter a rate-cutting cycle? Could this be a positive sign for BTC?
