Somewhat expected, bitcoin’s price dived once again on Friday after the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics released the Consumer Price Index data for August, which matched expectations to a large degree.
The regular CPI showed a 3.4% year-over-year increase, which is exactly as anticipated. The monthly increase is 0.4% – again, as expected.
The core CPI, which excludes more volatile sectors like food and energy, showed a 2.4% YoY jump. The only minor difference from expectations was the core CPI monthly increase of 0.3% versus the anticipated 0.2% bump.
