Bitcoin and Ether rose in Thursday morning trading in Asia along with most other top 10 non-stablecoin cryptocurrencies. Cardano led the gainers, while Litecoin and Tron were the only ones on that list to fall. Economic data from the U.S. on Wednesday indicated inflation is easing, but this was muted by concerns the Federal Reserve remains set on raising interest rates. The latest U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed that inflation was up 7.1% in November compared to last year, though a decline from readings of 7.7% in October and 8.2% in September. The December CPI will be released on January 12 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. (forkast)
