Bitcoin price dips below $82K as high oil prices spike US CPI inflation

Özet: Kripto piyasasında önemli gelişmeler yaşanıyor.

Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $82,000 after Wednesday’s Wall Street open as US consumer inflation beat expectations.

Key points: Data from TradingView showed crypto, gold and stock-market futures dropping after the release of Consumer Price Index (CPI) for September.

At 3.7% year-on-year, this came in 0.1% above majority market consensus, data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) confirmed.

The increase in fuel prices around the Middle East conflict and oil-supply crisis was conspicuous.

“The index for gasoline rose 9.1 percent in September, accounting for over half of the monthly all items increase.

The energy index increased 5.2 percent over the month following a 2.1-percent increase in August,” an official release stated.

Inflation nonetheless increased across the board, as core CPI — the index minus energy and food — also came in 0.1% higher than anticipated at 2.6% year-on-year.

Commenting, Sonu Varghese, chief macro strategist at Carson Group, suggested that elevated figures should be a foregone conclusion.

“The only surprise is that investors keep getting surprised by broad-based inflation.

And we’ve yet to see the full impact of higher diesel prices and the AI boom,” he told CNBC.
