The upcoming July CPI report, expected on August 12, forecasts moderate increases with tariff-induced pressures and leadership changes at BLS fueling market volatility risks for digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The US Labor Bureau will release the July CPI report on August 12, with forecasts of a 0.2% monthly and 2.8% annual overall CPI increase, and a core CPI rise of 0.3% month-over-month and 3% year-over-year. The report is expected to reflect tariff-induced price hikes amid recent leadership changes at the BLS, which have raised trust concerns. Analysts warn that higher-than-expected CPI figures could trigger market volatility and pose risks for digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, advising conservative trading strategies near key support levels such as $112,000.
