What is "CPI tonight" and what is its impact?

US CPI (Consumer Price Index) for July has been released tonight and shows inflation at 2.7% YoY, slightly below the estimate of 2.8%, reflecting inflation that remains high but is lower than market predictions.

This raises hopes for a rate cut by the Federal Reserve at the September meeting, reinforcing market sentiment towards risk assets such as crypto.

As a result, the price of Bitcoin briefly rose to nearly US$119,000 although the market remained calm overall as the effects of the release had been anticipated beforehand.

In essence:

1. CPI tonight (12 August 2025) released: annual inflation of 2.7% — below expectations.

2. Market Reaction:

Bitcoin recorded a slight increase to around US$119k.

The crypto market is moving cautiously, with Bitcoin predicted to move between US$118k – US$123k.

3. Positive sentiment arises with the increasing likelihood of interest rate cuts in September by the Fed.
