The US Bureau of Labor Statistics released the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for December, offering important insights into the country's inflation.

Key Data from BLS

The US inflation data came in line with expectations, with the Year-over-Year CPI at 2.9%, up from 2.7%. The core CPI stood at 3.2%, slightly below the 3.3% estimate. Inflation was expected to rise by 2.9% in December from 2.7% in November.

FOMC Discussion

The FOMC Minutes from December highlighted concerns among officials about rising inflation risks. They noted that trade and immigration policy changes could complicate inflation control.

Bitcoin trades within a narrowing triangle, signaling a breakout is imminent — likely no later than the January 29 FOMC meeting. "From a trading perspective, the best approach is to follow the breakout, regardless of direction."Markus Thielen

Implications for Economy and Market

The incoming Trump administration is expected to implement stricter immigration policies, loosen fiscal policy, and reintroduce tariffs on imports from China and Europe, potentially increasing inflation. However, CME Group's FedWatch Tool suggests a 97% chance of no change in rates.

The December inflation report is unlikely to lead to major changes in the Fed's monetary policy, but maintains the outlook for the US dollar's stability.
