After the U.S. government shutdown, Bitcoin will face its first inflation data test.

[After the U.S. government shutdown, Bitcoin will face its first inflation data test] Bitcoin and the overall financial market are preparing for the release of the first inflation data after the U.S. government shutdown on October 1. Analysts expect the market to respond mildly to this. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, originally scheduled for release on Friday, will play a key role in the Fed's interest rate decision next week. At the time of this report's release, the U.S. economy is facing significant uncertainty: due to the government shutdown, officials and economists are unable to access the latest labor market data. Tim Sun, a senior researcher at digital asset financial services company CEX Group, stated: “Bitcoin and the overall market are expected to respond moderately to this key macro event this week. Given the slowdown in employment growth and the stabilization of demand, even if the CPI data shows a slight unexpected increase, it is unlikely to result in a substantial change in market expectations.” Derek Lim, the research director of the cryptocurrency market maker Caladan, shares the same view as Sun, pointing out that if the U.S. inflation data meets expectations and deviates little, “the most likely outcome is that the market will react quietly.”
