Canada's consumer inflation contracted in December, registering a -0.2% change month-over-month, surprising by falling below the expected 0.3% decrease and diverging from the previous result of a 0.1% increase.

This Canadian inflation data deserves attention. When prices start to fall like this, it affects market expectations regarding monetary policy. Especially now, with investors monitoring every move in global economic data.

For those following cryptocurrencies, these macro numbers matter a lot. Deflation or lighter inflation can influence central banks' decisions on interest rates, which impacts the entire risk landscape and asset allocation.

Inflation data isn't that pessimistic, but it's not great either... --- The decline is below expectations, the central bank will probably keep watching. --- Hmm, now the interest rate policy is going to change, and BTC will fluctuate accordingly. --- Canada's inflation data this time feels like a tug-of-war... next, let's see how the Federal Reserve responds. --- Wait, 0.2 and 0.3 are almost the same, will the market overreact? --- Once again, such ambiguous data, it's the most annoying. --- Easing inflation = expectations of rate cuts, this is the time to be optimistic about risk assets. --- Really? Then I need to adjust my holdings accordingly.
