Oil had spiked earlier on supply-disruption fears tied to the Strait of Hormuz but retreated after comments suggesting the Iran conflict could end soon, as the IEA floated the largest-ever release of strategic oil reserves to calm markets.

CPI Report Looms as Markets Eye Potential Rate Cuts and Inflation Impact

The upcoming US core CPI report on Wednesday poses a challenge for long positions in the bond market, with expectations of stable inflation figures potentially limiting bullish sentiment on Treasuries.

Bitcoin Price Volatility: CPI, Inflation, and Whales' Response

Bitcoin and major altcoins are trading weak ahead of the U.S. CPI release, with Bitcoin falling below $69,000 and experiencing a 2.5% drop. Ether, Solana, Cardano, and Dogecoin also saw losses, while BNB Chain was the only token in the green. Analysts warn of potential volatility following the U.S. consumer price index release, but some believe that the bitcoin correction may be over as selling pressure from long-term wallets cools down and demand for spot bitcoin increases.

"Market Uncertainty: Analyzing the Impact of March Inflation Data on Rate-Cut Expectations"

Bank of America anticipates a moderation in core CPI inflation for March, with a projected 0.2% month-on-month decrease, while the headline CPI is expected to slightly increase to 0.3% month-on-month. These outcomes could bolster the Federal Reserve's confidence and potentially pave the way for a rate cut in June, aligning with market predictions. However, a significantly stronger inflation report may pose risks to this outlook, potentially delaying the commencement of the rate-cutting cycle.

"February's Inflation Data and the Fed's Dilemma"

CIBC analyzes the February US CPI report, noting that while the data exceeded expectations, it does not warrant immediate concern about inflation. Core CPI rose by 0.4%, indicating persistent inflation pressures, particularly in core services and goods. This data diminishes the likelihood of immediate rate cuts by the Fed, but CIBC anticipates a potential shift towards easing policy in the latter half of the year, contingent on forthcoming economic data.

"Surprise Spike: U.S. CPI Jumps to 3.2% in February Amid Persistent Inflation Pressures"

The U.S. Consumer Price Index unexpectedly rose to a 3.2% annual pace in February, slightly surpassing estimates, while the core rate, excluding food and energy costs, also increased to 3.8%. This data has led to a shift in market expectations for interest rate cuts, with the first anticipated cut now pushed out to the summer. Despite the hawkish change in monetary policy outlook, bitcoin saw a slight increase in price following the release of the CPI data, and traditional markets experienced modest selloffs in U.S. stock index futures and bonds, along with a slight rally in the dollar.

"Market Anticipation: Preparing for US CPI Revisions and Their Impact"

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is closely watching the scheduled revisions to the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) due next month, hoping they confirm the progress seen in inflation. The revisions, potentially changing the inflation picture for 2023, will be crucial for policy decisions. The upcoming January CPI report and revisions for 2023 are expected to impact interest rates, with a higher CPI potentially leading to higher rates for longer. Powell is particularly concerned about core services inflation and hopes for a downward revision, which would alleviate the Fed's worries.
