Bitcoin Price Rockets as US CPI for June Comes in Well Below Expectations

Although most experts anticipated slightly lower US Consumer Price Index numbers for June due to the ongoing ceasefire at the time in the Middle East, the actual data is more promising, showing an even larger decline.

The month-over-month drop is 0.4%, which breaks a three-month streak of consistent increases. BTC’s price reacted with an immediate surge of almost a grand that pushed it to $63,500 briefly.

However, a closer look at the data tells a different story. A large portion of the CPI decline from May’s multi-year record was due to the dropping oil prices in June because of the ceasefire signed between the US and Iran.

The Core CPI, which strips more volatile sectors such as energy and food, remains unchanged.
