According to StockMKTNewz, the latest sector breakdown reveals that inflation remains elevated in services such as housing and food, while prices in goods like electronics and used cars have stabilized or declined. This divergence is significant for crypto traders, as persistent inflation in core sectors may influence central bank policy and risk sentiment, potentially increasing volatility in digital asset markets. Traders should monitor how inflation data shapes expectations for interest rate moves, which historically correlate with major Bitcoin and Ethereum price swings (Source: StockMKTNewz, May 13, 2025).

According to @KobeissiLetter and citing @Kalshi, markets are now pricing in a total of three Federal Reserve interest rate cuts for 2025 following the latest Fed decision. Rate cut expectations have decreased by 25 basis points since their peak in April, reflecting a shift in monetary policy outlook. Despite this moderation, former President Trump continues to call for immediate rate reductions. For crypto traders, the adjusted rate cut timeline could lead to reduced speculative inflows and increased market volatility, especially as monetary policy directly influences liquidity and risk appetite in the digital asset space (source: @KobeissiLetter, @Kalshi).

According to The Kobeissi Letter, President Trump stated that Fed Chair 'Powell’s termination cannot come fast enough,' leading to immediate market volatility. This statement may impact interest rate expectations and trading strategies, as investors reassess Federal Reserve policies.
