The long -awaited American consumer price index numbers for July are out and show that inflation in the largest economy is lower than before.
The regular CPI came at 2.7% on an annual basis, compared to the estimate of 2.8% of the experts. The core CPI, which excludes volatile sectors such as energy and food, is 3.1% (0.1% higher than previously thought).

The last data must be seen as a positive sign for Crypto Bulls, because it can encourage the Federal Reserve to lower the interest rates after the next FOMC meeting in September.
After all, the central bank strives for a healthy inflation percentage of approximately 2%, and the number has gone in that direction in recent months.
It is important to note that the US CPI data is not the only factor that the Federal Reserve -guarded in deciding on a potential speed reduction. The last job report in America showed that the economy is in a weaker than expected state, which increases the chances of lowering the benchmark.
Bitcoin (BTC ($ 118,987.00)) responded positively to the CPI report, which nailed over $ 119,000. Ethereum (ETH ($ 4,386.65)) performed even better, with its appreciation to $ 4,350.
