加密貨幣等待美國 CPI 通膨數據來衡量市場方向

加密貨幣市場正在熱切等待 1 月 15 日週三發布的美國 CPI 通膨數據，以獲取有關當前經濟健康狀況的線索。

The financial market has recently seen a turbulent scenario, with rising macroeconomic concerns weighing on investors’ sentiment. Notably, recent economic indicators such as the US Employment data and hawkish statements from Fed officials have fueled concerns among traders. However, investors are now eagerly awaiting the US CPI inflation and PPI data to be released later this week. It has also fueled speculation on how these indicators could affect the performance of cryptocurrencies.

近期金融市場出現動盪，宏觀經濟憂慮升溫打壓投資人情緒。值得注意的是，美國就業數據和聯準會官員的鷹派言論等近期經濟指標引發了交易員的擔憂。不過，投資人目前正熱切等待本週稍後公佈的美國CPI通膨和PPI數據。它也引發了人們對這些指標如何影響加密貨幣表現的猜測。

Cryptocurrencies await US CPI inflation data

加密貨幣等待美國CPI通膨數據

The crypto market is eagerly awaiting the US CPI inflation data to be released on Wednesday, January 15th for clues on the current economic health. Notably, recent indicators such as strong US Employment data have recently fueled investors’ concerns. According to the latest data from the Labor Department, the US added 256,000 jobs in December, beating the market forecast of 160,000. Moreover, the unemployment rate fell to 4.1% from 4.2% in the previous month. This strong US Labor market data further strengthened bets on a potential hawkish move by the FED. In particular, it seems that the center may stick to its tight monetary policy and the market may have to wait until June for the first Fed rate cut this year.

加密市場正在熱切等待 1 月 15 日週三發布的美國 CPI 通膨數據，以獲取有關當前經濟健康狀況的線索。值得注意的是，強勁的美國就業數據等近期指標最近加劇了投資者的擔憂。美國勞工部最新數據顯示，美國12月新增就業人數25.6萬個，超出市場預期的16萬個。此外，失業率從上月的4.2%降至4.1%。強勁的美國勞動力市場數據進一步增強了對聯準會可能採取強硬措施的押注。尤其是，看來央行可能會堅持從緊的貨幣政策，市場可能要等到6月才能看到聯準會今年的首次降息。

US CPI inflation is one of the key focal points of the financial market this week, crypto space aside. According to market forecasts, the Consumer Price Index is expected to remain unchanged at 0.3%, while the annual CPI is expected to rise to 2.9% from 2.7% in the previous month. On the other hand, Core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, is expected to decline to 0.2% from 0.3% recorded last month. At the same time, Core CPI is expected to remain unchanged at 3.3% yoy. This suggests that the market is bracing for hot inflation data this week. However, if the data comes in above expectations, it could further dampen investors’ sentiment and potentially affect the performance of BTC and altcoins. In other words, warmer-than-expected numbers could give investors more room to act on their hawkish plans.

除了加密貨幣領域之外，美國消費者物價指數 (CPI) 通膨是本週金融市場的主要焦點之一。根據市場預測，居民消費物價指數預計將維持在0.3%不變，而全年CPI預計將從上月的2.7%升至2.9%。另一方面，不包括食品和能源價格的核心CPI預計將從上月的0.3%下降至0.2%。同時，核心CPI預計將維持在3.3%的年比不變。這表明市場正在為本週熱門的通膨數據做好準備。然而，如果數據超出預期，可能會進一步打擊投資者的情緒，並可能影響比特幣和山寨幣的表現。換句話說，高於預期的數據可能會給投資者更多的空間來實施他們的鷹派計畫。

US PPI inflation is also on the cards

美國PPI通膨也有可能

Market observers are eagerly awaiting the US CPI inflation data as well as the upcoming US PPI data. Producer Price Index (PPI) data is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, January 14th. This data is another important measure that the Fed considers to gauge inflationary pressure in the market. If this data also comes in hotter than expected, the central bank may move forward with higher interest rates to combat inflation. It could also significantly impact traders’ sentiment and affect the performance of the crypto market.

市場觀察家正在熱切等待美國CPI通膨數據以及即將公佈的美國PPI數據。生產者物價指數 (PPI) 數據定於 1 月 14 日星期二發布。該數據是聯準會考慮衡量市場通膨壓力的另一個重要指標。如果該數據也比預期更熱，央行可能會採取更高的利率來對抗通膨。它還可能會嚴重影響交易者的情緒並影響加密貨幣市場的表現。

Bitcoin and top altcoins have recorded choppy trading, especially after Fed Chair Jerome Powell last month indicated only two rate cuts through 2025. Previously, the market was betting on four rate cuts this year. In addition, recent statements from Fed officials have further dampened market sentiment. In particular, officials said that the central bank will closely monitor economic data and other factors before deciding to cut interest rates. Nevertheless, the upcoming US CPI inflation and PPI data will be closely monitored by market participants.

比特幣和頂級山寨幣交易出現波動，尤其是在聯準會主席鮑威爾上個月表示到 2025 年僅降息兩次之後。此外，聯準會官員近期的言論也進一步打壓了市場情緒。官員特別表示，央行在決定降息前將密切關注經濟數據和其他因素。儘管如此，即將公佈的美國CPI通膨和PPI數據仍將受到市場參與者的密切關注。

However, if the US FED decides to move forward with a hawkish plan, the broader crypto market could face volatile trading in the coming days. However, despite the short-term concerns, many market observers remained confident about the long-term trajectory of the cryptoassets space.

然而，如果聯準會決定推進鷹派計劃，未來幾天更廣泛的加密貨幣市場可能會面臨波動的交易。然而，儘管存在短期擔憂，許多市場觀察家仍然對加密資產領域的長期軌跡充滿信心。
