通货膨胀飙升，股市和加密货币遭受重创

周四的消费者物价指数报告发布后，股票和加密货币股票面临着充满挑战的交易日。核心通胀率意外攀升至 6.6%，创 40 年来新高，导致比特币跌至 18,100 美元。美国主要股市平均跌幅超过 2%，矿业股 Marathon Digital、Riot Blockchain 和 Core Scientific 跌幅较大。 Argo Blockchain 表现不佳，在做出融资决定后下跌 16.5%。 Roth Capital 将 Argo 评级下调至中性，理由是增长有限和市场份额下降。 MicroStrategy 和 Coinbase 也面临损失，其中 MicroStrategy 持有价值 24 亿美元的比特币。

Equities and Crypto Stocks Battered by Soaring Inflation

股票和加密货币股票受到通货膨胀飙升的打击

The financial markets have been rocked by the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for September, which revealed an unexpected surge in inflation, sending shockwaves through the investment community. The report indicated that core inflation has reached a four-decade high of 6.6%, while headline inflation stands at 8.2%, both surpassing economists' expectations.

9月份消费者物价指数（CPI）报告的发布震惊了金融市场，该报告显示通胀意外飙升，给投资界带来冲击。报告显示，核心通胀率已达到40年来的新高6.6%，总体通胀率为8.2%，均超出经济学家的预期。

The grim economic news has had a devastating impact on equities, particularly crypto stocks, which have been among the hardest hit. Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, plummeted to $18,100 in the aftermath of the report, just shy of its 2022 low of $17,600. At the time of writing, BTC has partially recovered, trading at around $18,400.

严峻的经济消息对股市产生了毁灭性影响，尤其是受打击最严重的加密货币股票。报告发布后，市值最大的加密货币比特币 (BTC) 暴跌至 18,100 美元，略低于 2022 年低点 17,600 美元。截至撰写本文时，BTC 已部分回升，交易价格约为 18,400 美元。

The bearish sentiment has also extended to the broader stock market, with major U.S. indices registering significant declines. The S&P 500, for instance, has plunged by more than 2%, although it is currently attempting a modest recovery, narrowing its losses to just 1%.

看跌情绪也蔓延至更广泛的股市，美国主要股指大幅下跌。例如，标准普尔 500 指数已暴跌超过 2%，尽管该指数目前正在尝试温和复苏，将跌幅收窄至仅 1%。

Within the crypto mining sector, Marathon Digital (MARA) has shed 7% of its value, while Riot Blockchain (RIOT) and Core Scientific (CORZ) have experienced similar declines. The underperformance has been exacerbated by U.K.-based miner Argo Blockchain (ARBK), which has plummeted by 16.5%, extending its losses following its recent capital raise.

在加密货币挖矿领域，Marathon Digital (MARA) 的价值已下跌 7%，而 Riot Blockchain (RIOT) 和 Core Scientific (CORZ) 也经历了类似的下跌。英国矿商 Argo Blockchain (ARBK) 的表现进一步恶化，该公司股价暴跌 16.5%，在近期融资后进一步扩大了亏损。

Analysts have been quick to downgrade their recommendations for Argo Blockchain. In a research note published on October 12, Roth Capital analyst Darren Aftahi lowered his rating from buy to neutral, citing concerns about the company's growth prospects and market share erosion amid rising energy costs and stagnant bitcoin prices.

分析师很快就下调了对 Argo Blockchain 的推荐评级。在 10 月 12 日发布的一份研究报告中，Roth Capital 分析师 Darren Aftahi 将其评级从买入下调至中性，理由是在能源成本上涨和比特币价格停滞的情况下，对该公司的增长前景和市场份额侵蚀感到担忧。

Cryptocurrency-focused companies have also been negatively impacted by the inflation report. MicroStrategy (MSTR), which holds a significant amount of BTC, has retreated by 6.7%, while crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) has suffered a decline of 11.5%.

专注于加密货币的公司也受到了通胀报告的负面影响。持有大量比特币的 MicroStrategy (MSTR) 下跌了 6.7%，而加密货币交易所 Coinbase (COIN) 则下跌了 11.5%。

The market's reaction to the inflation data highlights growing concerns about the potential impact of persistent inflation on the economy and corporate profits. Investors are grappling with the likelihood of further interest rate hikes by central banks, which could further strain financial markets. The crypto sector, in particular, remains vulnerable to macroeconomic uncertainties, with volatility expected to continue in the near term.

市场对通胀数据的反应凸显了人们对持续通胀对经济和企业利润潜在影响的日益担忧。投资者正在努力应对央行进一步加息的可能性，这可能进一步给金融市场带来压力。尤其是加密货币行业仍然容易受到宏观经济不确定性的影响，预计短期内波动将持续。
