Click here for our Fear & Greed Index]( THE CPI RESULTS ARE IN… 👀  Ladies & gents, the latest U.S. CPI (Consumer Price Index) numbers are in…and they ain’t pretty. CPI measures the average change in prices for everyday things like housing, clothes, food, services, etc. Last month, it rose 0.4% - higher than expected. Year-over-year inflation now stands at 3.5% - also higher than expected. This is now the 36th consecutive month with inflation above 3% and the second straight monthly increase. **gulp** (Side note: If this was my school report card, I’d pull the “dog ate it” trick and just never show it to my parents) The CPI doesn't tell the full story though, just look at how much prices are up on these daily items over the past year: - Car Insurance: +22% - Domestic services (i.e. housework): +10.9% - Beef: +7.6% - Hospital Services Inflation: +7.5% - Homeowner Inflation: +5.9% - Milk Road Daily Newsletter: Still free The recent data highlights that inflation is still a problem and interest rates probably aren’t coming any time soon. Analysts now predict rate cuts won’t happen until September. How’d the markets react? Many of the top 100 cryptocurrencies are dropping like bricks into the ocean (in this case, the Red Sea).
