Crypto Crash On PPI Release
The main reason that is affecting the crypto market revolves around macroeconomic conditions due to the Federal Reserve’s hawkish approach towards financial measures. Yesterday, the Producer Price Index (PPI) data was released which is reading 8.5% Year-on-year. This marking has exceeded the expected one which was at 8.4%. However, the core PPI where food and energy price is not included is flashing 7.2% lesser than the expected marking of 7.3%.
Furthermore, today’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) release is set to impact the crypto market majorly.
