CPI
Tuketici Fiyat Endeksi.
The CPI is the most widely watched inflation indicator, published monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the US. It tracks price changes for a fixed basket of consumer goods including food, housing, transportation, medical care, and entertainment.
Core CPI excludes volatile food and energy prices to show underlying inflation trends. The Federal Reserve monitors both headline and core CPI when making interest-rate decisions, which ripple through all financial markets including crypto.
CPI readings that come in higher than expected tend to strengthen the dollar and pressure risk assets (including crypto) as markets price in tighter monetary policy. Lower-than-expected readings have the opposite effect, boosting crypto and equities as rate-cut expectations increase.
CPI drives Federal Reserve policy, which directly impacts liquidity conditions and risk appetite across all markets. Crypto has become increasingly sensitive to CPI prints.

FAQ
How does CPI affect crypto?
High CPI leads to expectations of rate hikes, which reduce liquidity and risk appetite. Low CPI supports rate cuts, increasing liquidity that flows into risk assets like crypto.
When is CPI released?
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics releases CPI data monthly, usually around the 10th-13th of each month for the prior month.
What is the difference between CPI and PCE?
Both measure inflation but use different methodologies and baskets. The Fed officially targets PCE but CPI gets more market attention due to its earlier release.
Why do crypto markets react to US CPI?
US monetary policy affects global liquidity. Since crypto markets are primarily USD-denominated and liquidity-driven, US inflation data has outsized influence.
