The Consumer Price Index (CPI) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/news.release\/cpi.nr0.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fell 0.4% in June<\/a> on a seasonally adjusted basis, the largest one-month decline since April 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In other words, the annual comparison flatters the trend the president describes, while the monthly direction has turned against it.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Markets Care<\/h2>\n<p>Cooling headline <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-inflation\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">inflation<\/a> shapes expectations for Federal Reserve policy, which in turn feeds risk assets, including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">crypto<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bitcoin<\/a> has continued to trade near $64,150, as investors weighed the disinflation trend against lingering geopolitical risk.<\/p>\n<p>The price push also lands amid a broader economic policy shake-up with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bitcoin.com<\/a> News reporting that the government has processed <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/trump-tariff-refunds-81-billion-supreme-court\/\">$81 billion<\/a> in tariff refunds following a Supreme Court ruling against the administration\u2019s emergency tariff authority.
