Bitcoin broke above $89,000 today, following the release of November's Consumer Price Index (CPI), which surprisingly weighed on US inflation.
According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, CPI rose 2.7% year over year, below the 3.1% forecast and up slightly from October's 3% reading. Core CPI, which includes variable food and energy prices, rose 2.6 percent year-on-year, well below expectations of 3 percent.
Crypto markets and stock futures surged following the report. Bitcoin recovered from $85,300 in early trading, while Ethereum gained 3% to close at $3,000. Other major crypto assets such as XRP and Solana have also appeared in the news.
But, despite the market rally, there is uncertainty over the Federal Reserve's next moves as officials remain divided on interest rate policy and Chairman Jerome Powell has indicated that the figures may not fully reflect inflation.
