According to CoinMeta, economists generally expect the annual inflation rate in the United States to slow down slightly. The U.S. CPI report, which will be released next Wednesday, is considered the most closely watched data for the week. Although the annual inflation rate may slow down slightly, core inflation could still remain high, reflecting ongoing price pressures in the services and housing sectors. Based on the latest data, the Federal Reserve remains cautious, emphasizing the need for further confirmation that inflation is steadily approaching its 2% target before considering interest rate cuts.
