Wall Street Bullish On Crypto & Stocks As US CPI Inflation Cools, Fed To “Skip”

Wall Street estimates for the US CPI inflation and US Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision remain bullish for crypto and stock markets. Top cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ethereum are likely to rebound from the crypto market crash last week.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the annual CPI inflation cooled to 4% in May from 4.9% in April and 5% in March. It is the lowest CPI inflation rate since March 2021. Meanwhile, core inflation also cooled to 5.3% from 5.5%.

Wall Street giants JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and RBC estimated the CPI rate at 4.2%, whereas HSBC, BMO and UBS estimated CPI to come in line at 4.1%. Barclays, Bloomberg, CIBC, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley, Visa, and Wells Fargo predict the CPI inflation to cool further to 4%.

Analysts believe the inflation in the US is set for historic drops over the next two months. Investors brace for the big week with key other events, including the US Federal Reserve’s monetary policy decision, as well as interest rate decisions by the European Central Bank and Bank of Japan.

Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq futures rise as big money managers and investors slashing bearish bets and buying stocks in anticipation of cooling inflation and the US Fed to “skip” rate hike on June 14. The CME FedWatch Tool shows an 80% probability of the Fed keeping its policy rate unchanged.

Meanwhile, US treasury yields and the US dollar dip further ahead of key CPI data and Fed monetary policy decision, making crypto bullish. US Dollar Index (DXY) fell 0.34% to 103.21 on Tuesday.
