U.S. consumer inflation slowed more than expected in April, offering a modest sign of relief as markets await any potential shift in Federal Reserve policy.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.2% last month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Tuesday. Economists polled by Dow Jones had expected a 0.3% increase.
Year-over-year, the CPI came in at 2.3%, compared to the 2.4% rise expected and March’s reading.
Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, also rose 0.2% on a monthly basis, missing the 0.3% forecast.
Annually, core inflation rose 2.8%, matching expectations.
These figures suggest that sticky inflation is beginning to cool, which could factor into the Federal Reserve’s thinking as it makes future interest rate decisions.
While the data isn’t weak enough to warrant immediate rate cuts, it does suggest a continued cooling trend that could impact financial markets in the months ahead.

Crypto Market Reacts After CPI
Following the release of the CPI data, the cryptocurrency market experienced a slight uptick.
Bitcoin (BTC) saw a modest increase, trading at around $103,645 by 12:15 ET, while Ethereum (ETH) also edged higher to approximately $2,503.84.
Investors appeared to interpret the slower-than-expected inflation as a positive sign, potentially decreasing the likelihood of the Federal Reserve engaging in overly aggressive interest rate hikes.
The crypto market’s response suggests that stable inflation could lead to more favorable monetary policies, which may benefit risk assets like cryptocurrencies. However, market participants remain attentive, awaiting further economic indicators to assess the Federal Reserve’s upcoming moves.
