INFLATION JUST COOLED MORE THAN EXPECTEDโ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘€

The June CPI report came in soft:
โœ… CPI fell 0.4% month over month
โœ… CPI rose 3.5% year over year
โœ… Core CPI rose 2.6% year over year
โœ… Both came in below expectations
โœ… Stock futures jumped on the news

In other words ๐Ÿ‘‰ Lower inflation may reduce pressure on the Fed and improve the backdrop for assets like Bitcoin.

This may give markets the room it needs to breathe โœŠ
