🚀 U.S. Consumer Spending Shows Minimal Growth Amid Inflation Concerns
U.S. consumer spending in February showed little growth, according to data from the U.S. Department of Commerce. This comes amid ongoing inflation concerns, which are expected to worsen due to the conflict involving Iran. According to Jin10, inflation-adjusted consumer spending increased by 0.1% compared to January. The core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, excluding food and energy, rose by 0.4% from the previous month. The annual rate of the core PCE price index, favored by the Federal Reserve, recorded a 3.0% increase.

🚀 Bitcoin Faces Liquidity Challenges Amid Economic Indicators
Bitcoin may face liquidity challenges, according to Delphi Digital's analysis. According to PANews, February's PCE data indicated a weakening in U.S. consumer spending even before the impact of the Iran conflict. Income levels have contracted, and real spending has shown almost no growth. Subsequently, March's CPI recorded a 3.3% increase, with energy accounting for three-quarters of the rise. The U.S. Leading Economic Index (LEI) is declining, typically leading real yields by about six months. The last occurrence of such a scenario was in 2022, when tight monetary policy coincided with an energy shock, resulting in Bitcoin's correlation with real yields turning deeply negative.
