US inflation data beats forecasts, Bitcoin rallies

Original: Inflationsdaten deutlich besser als die Prognosen # Bitcoin zieht deutlich an PCE-Kernrate Preisindex (Jahr) (Aug) 3,0 %

New US economic data came in better than expected: the core PCE price index rose 3.0 percent year-on-year in August instead of the forecast 3.3 percent, and 0.2 percent monthly rather than 0.3 percent. Second-quarter GDP growth was also revised up to 2.2 percent from 1.5 percent. Lower-than-expected inflation lifted hopes of easier monetary policy, and Bitcoin rose sharply on the news.

Why now: Softer-than-expected US inflation figures fuelled rate-cut hopes and a Bitcoin rally.
