The US market is anticipating the release of the second inflation report of 2025, with analysts predicting a slight drop in both headline and core inflation. If confirmed, this would be the first time since July 2024 that both indicators have declined. In January 2025, the core inflation rate rose from 3.2% to 3.3%, but it is expected to drop to 3.2% in February. The US inflation rate increased from 2.9% to 3% in January, but it is predicted to decline to 2.9% in February. The market is optimistic that a decrease in inflation could lead to a more favorable environment for cryptocurrencies, as the Federal Reserve may ease monetary policy, resulting in lower interest rates. However, uncertainty surrounding President Trump's trade policies may cause volatility and push investors towards safe-haven assets like gold.
