The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) experienced a surprising decline of 0.1% in March. This drop contrasted sharply with economists’ predictions of a 0.1% increase, following a 0.2% rise in February. On a yearly basis, the headline CPI increased by just 2.4%, falling short of the forecasted 2.6% and February’s 2.8%. The core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, only rose by 0.1% in March, against expectations of a 0.3% increase and February’s 0.2%. Annually, the core CPI climbed 2.8%, below the anticipated 3% and February’s 3.1%. Following the CPI report, the price of bitcoin rose modestly above $82,000. U.S. stock index futures faced pressure, with the Nasdaq 100 dropping 2.7% and the S&P 500 declining 2.1%. The odds of a rate cut at the Federal Reserve’s next meeting in May were estimated at 17%, with a 75% chance of a 25 basis point or more cut by the end of June.
